Description
Neither vampire nor werewolf, but equally monstrous and predatory, the camazotz are often referred to as "night demons." In both giant vampire bat and hybrid form, they prowl the darkness and prey on the fresh blood of humanoids. Their particular strain of lycanthropy is extremely virulent, and easily spreads due to their aggressive thirst. Only the death of a camazotz provides a chance for those afflicted with its curse.
Camazotz Lycanthropy
A humanoid that succumbs to the camazotz' lycanthropy becomes a werebat. This curse cannot be removed while the camazotz that inflicted it lives. See the Monster Manual for details on lycanthropy.
Once a camazotz is slain, the remove curse spell cast during the night of a full moon on any afflicted werebat it created forces the target to make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a success, the curse is broken, and the target returns to its normal form with 3 levels of exhaustion. On a failure, the curse remains and the target automatically fails any saving throw made to break this curse for 1 month.
