Stirges

TINY MONSTROSITY UNALIGNED

Notorious, Clinging Bloodsuckers Stirges are bat-size vermin with dagger-length proboscises that attach to other creatures and drain life from them. Stirges are most active at night and hide in shadowy places during the day. If disturbed, they take flight and defend themselves. A single stirge is usually little more than an annoyance, but several can be deadly if they attach faster than a victim can remove them.
