Lampreys are leech-like eels
which inhabit both fresh and salt water:
They do not inhabit shallow
bodies of water.
Drain
Blood: They feed by biting their victims, fastening themselves to
the hapless creatures with sphincter-like mouths ringed with cruel teeth.
Once attached the lamprey
will begin to drain blood on the next and each successive melee round.
The rate of blood drain
is equivalent to 2 hit points of damage per hit die the lamprey has.
Thus, a giant specimen will
drain blood causing 10 hit points of damage per melee round.
