Special Attack
Latch: piercing, melee 5 ft, +2 to hit, 1d4. Once latched it automatically deals 1d4 damage at the end of each round. Removing it requires a successful Strength Chance Roll; fire makes it release immediately but deals half the fire damage to the victim.
Special Defense
Swollen Body: after draining blood twice, its AC falls to 8 and its movement is halved. Before feeding, its flat body can squeeze through any gap wide enough for a knife blade.
