Giggi are the small leech-like larvae of the Gigginox.
Spawning from large, organic globules (egg cases) in dark caves, they exhibit unique behavior. When the torch is drawn, they retreat in fear; however, when the torch is extinguished, they slowly follow hunters and latch onto them, constantly draining "blood", doing damage similar to the poison effect, and must be "shaken" off. If a Giggi sucks a significant amount of health off the victim, it will be able to do a poison spit. Many hunters find that Giggis are a pain when gathering resources or fighting other monsters.

Notes
- Giggi are the only monster in Monster Hunter 3 to inflict the new Life Drain status. To apprehend this, just roll/dodge 1 to 4 times to have Giggi fall off.
- As a Giggi sucks the hunter's blood, it starts to increase in size, but will only reach a certain body mass.
- Giggi can be found in every environment in Monster Hunter 3, but its adult form, Gigginox, can only be found in the Tundra. Quite unusual on how it even ever wandered there or when does the spawning area is infested by it.
- Despite not having wings or legs, Giggi are still classified as Flying Wyverns.
- If a Giggi is not shaken off it may inflict the hunter with poison.
- When hit twice with a torch, Giggi will flee by hiding underground.
- Before flying at a hunter, Giggi will scrunge up for a few seconds. This is a good warning. At this point, the hunter can move and Giggi won't reaim.
- In Monster Hunter Diary, Giggi are found in the Khezu-Quest, while there is no Gigginox in the Game. Maybe these Giggis are the larvae of the Khezu
