Description

The blood-starved beast that can be found in Yharnam's cathedral. A deformed creature whose skin is peeled off and hanging from its back, this beast is lightning-fast and unnaturally agile, making it a very dangerous enemy.

Rumor has it that the blood-starved beast was a person receiving blood healing from Healing  Church as part of their rituals to learn more about their gods, as the corpses of similar beast can be found chained up in chapels around Old Yharnam. At the very least, these creatures had some sort of connection to the ritualistic practices of the Healing Church, and may lead some insight on the powers of the blood healing.
