On a tangential note, I always thought the Blood Mosquitoes and Crag Spiders to be related, as they have a similar aesthetic and the latter have near-vestigial wings. Judging by appearance and their demonic nature, I've thought that they might perhaps be the spawn of Quelaag or some unrelated demonic spider(s). I think there's a good chance that the crag spiders are mosquitoes that mutated as a result to exposure from the Bed of Chaos' power, since they spew lava like a very puny version of Quelaag. Then again its just conjecture on my part.

Given that the architectural style of the stuff we find in Blighttown is similar to that or Izalith (concentric circles with intricate etching, arches etc.), I'm going to assume that parts of Blighttown were Izalith before Izalith went crazy.
