Blood Drain. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage, and the stirge attaches to the target. While attached, the stirge doesn't attack. Instead, at the start of each of the stirge's turns, the target loses 5 (1d4 + 3) hit points due to blood loss.

The stirge can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. It does so after it drains 10 hit points of blood from the target or the target dies. A creature, including the target, can use its action to detach the stirge.

Flare (Recharge 6). Bruce exhales fire in an adjacent 5-foot square. Each creature in that area must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw, taking (2d4) fire damage on a failed save, or no damage on a successful one.
