Traits

Echolocation. The cruorgheist can't use its blindsight while deafened.

Keen Hearing. The cruorgheist has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing.

Regeneration. The cruorgheist regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point and isn't in direct sunlight or running water. If the cruorgheist takes radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait doesn't function at the start of the cruorgheist's next turn.

Actions

Multiattack. The cruorgheist makes two attacks, one with its claws and one with its bite.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 9 (2d4+4) slashing damage. Instead of dealing damage, the cruorgheist can grapple the target (escape DC 14).

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage. If this attack is made against a target that is grappled by the cruorgheist, it is made with advantage and deals an additional 4 (1d6) necrotic damage.

Description

As they feast on more corpses, cruorbats become larger, stronger, and more intimidating.  After a few years of meals, cruorbats become cruorgheists. These creatures are master at hit-and-run tactics, where they dive onto their foes and then retreat as necromantic energy allows them to regenerate enough for another dive. Another tactic is grabbing a foe and then taking off into the air, dropping them a few seconds later to potentially secure a kill.

A cruorgheist has become far less bat-like in appearance, and is more monstrous. Their skin has become a pale white, like a traditional vampire's, and they have grown a magnificent crimson mane.  Also, their fangs have become longer and sharper.
