Actions
Blood Drain. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, 5' reach, one creature. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) piercing damage & 5 (2d4) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, & the assassin bug regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
Sting. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, 5' reach, one creature. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage. The creature must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or become paralyzed by the assassin bug's poison for 7 (2d6) minutes. The creature can repeat the saving throw as an action on its turn to end the paralysis. Once a creature passes the saving throw, it is immune to the assassin bug's poison for the next 24 hours.
