Description

The Burlap is a creature that cannot move very well on its own. When a Burlap lies still it becomes invisible to the naked eye and waits for a creature to pass. A burlap is able to latch onto unsuspecting prey to become a parasite that drains the host's vitality and life essence, releasing a faint magic to prevent the host from even feeling its presence. 
Some cultures have hunted for Burlap to extract the stolen life essence from the creatures to create potent healing potions.
