The Harpers' Read
A stirge is a fist-sized horror that latches on and drains — once attached it hangs and sucks until gorged, then drops away fat. One is nothing; a cloud of them can bleed a strong body white in moments, and each one fastened is a knife you must pry loose. Swat them in the air before they land, and tear free any that fasten on.
Encounters of Record
Swarmed the party in the deep mines alongside ghouls (10).
