Blood Drain. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 5 piercing damage, and the Cuddler attaches to the target. While attached, the Cuddler doesn't attack. Instead, at the start of each of the Cuddler's turns, the target loses 5 hit points due to blood loss.
After every turn the Cuddler is attached, a creature must succeed on a DC 10 + number of rounds passed or take 1 level of exhaustion.
The Cuddler can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. It does so after the target dies. A creature, including the target, can use its action to detach the Cuddler with a DC 20 strength check. On a success, the target takes 5d10 slashing and 5d10 blood loss damage until the wound is closed.
Description
This horrid monster looks an oversized mosquito. Its legs end in sharp pincers, and its long proboscis slashes the air as it seeks to feed on blood.
Based on a monster from Zee Bashew.
