Monster Trove: Old Fears and Hungry Things
Strigoi

About
A Strigoi is a troubled dead person who rises from the grave to drain family, livestock, and neighbors. It may pass as the deceased from a distance, but the body is swollen with stolen life and follows habits that no longer fit. Some Strigoi are living witches whose spirits leave at night; others are corpses animated by unresolved malice. The grave reveals which kind is being hunted.

Special Attack
Stolen Breath: necrotic, melee 5 ft, +6 to hit, 2d8+4. The Strigoi recovers half the damage dealt, and the target becomes weary on a failed Tough save.
Special Defense
Two Kinds of Grave: if its body lies buried, opening the grave prevents Stolen Breath from recovering HP and removes its DR. If the grave is empty, its sleeping living body must be found before sunrise.
