A strzyga is born with two souls and dies only once. The remaining soul claws out of the grave at night, drinking blood and returning before dawn unless someone keeps watch where the body lies.
Special Attack
Two-Souled Talons: slashing, melee 5 ft, +6 to hit, 3d10+5, twice each round. Heart Drink: a held or unconscious creature takes 4d8 necrotic damage, and the strzyga recovers the same number of HP.
Special Defense
Second Death at the Grave: reducing it to 0 HP away from its grave reforms it there with half HP at the next sunset. Keeping watch inside the grave from midnight until dawn, without leaving or falling asleep, reunites the two souls and ends the undeath. Sunlight removes its DR and prevents Heart Drink.
