Racial Traits
● Darkvision: 60 ft.

Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with your fangs, you can drain blood from the target. The target’s hit point maximum is reduced by 1 for each hit point drained in this way. You regain hit points equal to half the hit points drained. The reduction to the target’s hit point maximum lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. Additionally, if you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with your fangs, you regain one use of your movement ability (Misty Step or Gaseous Form).
