Base creature: Stirge (CR 1/8) A sickly, emaciated stirge, its bat-like wings tattered and scarred, hovers weakly in a dank, shadowed cave. Its proboscis drips with a greenish ichor, hinting at its parasitic nature, and its small, beady eyes glow with a faint, malevolent hunger. The creature seems to be constantly searching for its next meal, its thin legs twitching in anticipation.
