#strigoi

Today is Drag Queen and Drag King Day. I decided to make an OC of myself; I know it doesn't look like a drag king, but it's the best I can do :')

Anna took a slow sip of her iced coffee, listening to the ambient thoughts of the neighborhood.

"The strigoi three houses down is having a meltdown," Anna noted. 

Alysia immediately stopped cleaning her daggers. "Is he hunting? Do I need to gear up?" 

"No," Anna sighed. "He's trying to bake. He keeps mentally complaining that high-altitude baking is ruining his peanut butter cookies because the atmospheric pressure is messing with his leavening agents. He's at 4,800 feet and he just burned his third batch." 

Alysia stared at her. "So... no stabbing?"

Traits

Stirge Telepathy. The Strigoi can magically control Stirges within 120 feet of itself using a special telepathy.

Actions

Multiattack. The Strigoi makes two Claw attacks and one Proboscis attack.

Claw. Melee Attack Roll: +5, reach 5 ft. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) Slashing damage.

Proboscis. Melee Attack Roll: +5, reach 5 ft. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) Piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) Necrotic damage. The target's Hit Point maximum decreases by an amount equal to the Necrotic damage taken, and the Strigoi regains Hit Points equal to that amount. A creature reduced to 0 Hit Points by this attack dies, leaving behind nothing except its skin and equipment.

Bonus Actions

Protective Swarm (Recharge 6). The Strigoi summons a swarm of bloodthirsty Mosquitoes in a 10-foot Emanation originating from itself, which lasts for 1 minute or until the Strigoi's Concentration on it ends. Whenever the swarm enters a creature's space or a creature enters the swarm or ends its turn there, that creature is subjected to the following effect (a creature makes this save only once per turn, and Strigoi and Stirges are unaffected). Constitution Saving Throw: DC 13. Failure: 3 (1d6) Necrotic damage, and the target is Poisoned until the end of its next turn.

Info: Strigoi are vampire-like beings that resemble half-Humanoid, half-Stirge terrors. By night, these bloodthirsty predators seek Humanoids to feed on, draining victims and leaving behind bloodless corpses. Stirges and Mosquitoes follow these repulsive monsters in their hunts.

They follow me around

Lately I been thinking 'bout the time that you left

Body levitating, breathing without taking a breath

I'm still picking up the pieces from the puzzle you wrecked

Body burning like the Nazarene, the mother she wept

I been waking up in shambles, all my thoughts are a mess

My bones are aching and groaning, a sinking pain in my chest

When I'm sleeping, there's a voice that lets me know it's upset
