Sharp Bite. When the bite sprite deals piercing damage to a creature capable of bleeding, that creature begins bleeding, taking an additional 1d4 piercing damage at the start of each of its turns until an action is used to stem the bleeding or until the bleeding creature is magically healed for any number of hit points. If the creature is already bleeding in this way, being bitten again will not cause this effect again.
Swarm Tactics. If a creature targeted with an attack by the bite sprite is within 5 feet of one of the bite sprite's allies, then the bite sprite has a +2 bonus to its attack rolls against that creature.
Agile. The bite sprite can dodge, disengage or hide as a bonus action.
Antimagic Susceptibility. The bite sprite is incapacitated while in the area of an antimagic field. If targeted by dispel magic, the bite sprite must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against the caster’s spell save DC or be destroyed.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d6) piercing damage.
Description
A bite sprite is a tiny, agile construct, appearing as a pair of floating jaws made out of two to three dozen mismatched teeth. They are used primarily to guard valuable assets or as assistance in combat, where their flying speed, agility and the intense bleeding inflicted by their bite make them highly valuable. There are a couple of quirks to creating them:
- Every tooth the bite sprite is made from must be from a different creature
- The intelligence (and thus combat effectiveness) of the bite sprite is influenced by the intelligence of the creatures whose teeth it is made from (its intelligence score is the half the average intelligence score of the creatures whose teeth it is made from).
For these reasons, creators of bite sprites need a wide variety of tooth donors (willing or not) and the teeth of humanoids are highly prized. How these teeth are acquired varies based on who is creating them and why - sometimes the teeth are stolen from corpses, be they freshly slain or dug up. Sometimes they are taken forcefully, either legally from prisoners or illegally by kidnapping someone and taking their teeth, akin to a press gang. Very often, poor people are paid a pittance to donate their teeth (this is a very popular method among those who have a public image to maintain). If quantity over quality is the priority, then the teeth of animals will do.
