Description

Bloodstalkers resemble large water striding insects mixed with the abilities of a cave fisher. These creatures thrive on the blood of their prey and it is common for their hunting grounds to be littered with dried husks of those drained of blood. 

These large insectoid alien beasts thrive in the swamps and other areas that they can make use of their webbing abilities and their grace as climbers to set up masterful ambushes. Once a creature is restricted by the bloodstalker's webs they reel them in to either drink their fresh blood or riddle them with holes from their spike ended legs.
