Desc : Blood suckers are giant leaches. Unlike most segmented worms, they are flattened and have a row of greenish yellow spots on their dorsal side (top). The feeding tube is held inside the head and has a razor
sharp edge.
Cmbt : Blood suckers hunt by sensing heat so occasionally live metal is attacked and most plants are not. A hit that does wound damage means the feeding tube has been inserted into a blood vessel. It then drains blood until it consumes d6+4 wound points. The slime coat makes them difficult to hurt with fire and any attempts to grasp them are at a 3 step penalty.
Hab/Soc : Blood suckers live in stagnate water .75-3 m deep. They may attack en masse, but they are not coperative and may even resort to cannibalism in times of hunger. They also consume smaller invertebrates
when blood is not available.
