Description
A wretched parasite looks like a slightly larger than a leech. Its skin is rubbery and glossy, slick with an oozing slime. The parasite uses its hooked teeth to attach to its prey's skin. The parasite can then drain life energy from that creature, infecting it with its poison. The parasite can also impose its will on its prey, forcing the creature to comply with its wishes.
If a wretched parasite brings a creature's hit points to 0, the creature becomes a Wretched Maw.
