Stirge

A stirge is a winged pest that feeds on the blood of living creatures, drawing sustenance through its proboscis, which it uses to pierce a victim's flesh while clutching onto its prey with hooked claws.

Actions

Blood Drain. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 5 ( 1d4+3 ) piercing damage, and the stirge attaches to the target. While attached, the stirge doesn’t attack. Instead, at the start of each of the stirge’s turns, the target loses 5 ( 1d4+3 ) hit points due to blood loss.
The stirge can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. It does so after it drains 10 hit points of blood from the target or the target dies. A creature, including the target, can use its action to detach the stirge.
