Supplicant

There are many different bloodsucking parasites living with the swamp, ticks are one of these creatures that feed on the blood of others and spread horrible sicknesses with their bites. The Crimson Curse found new carriers of its sickness within these pest, as blood curse start to chance these tinny parasitic pests into some far more horrible.

Latching on a host the Supplicant keep sucking the blood from its victim, growing bigger and bigger until it become too big, too heavy and bloated to move, its own legs are not capable of carrying their own body weight. Inset of letting their prey go these lazy creatures latch themselves on the head of their victim, slowly chewing and digesting the skin and flesh from the victim’s head and dig it’s tentacle-like tongs into the exposed brain and turn their host into unwilling puppet.

Behavior
The Supplicant is a Bloodsucker type enemy that can be found in any area, usually with Sycophants. These are not particularly tough nor hard-hitting, but instead are designed to inflict your party with the Crimson Curse.

Trivia
The Supplicant bears a great resemblance to Headcrab Zombies from the Half-Life series, both of which are bodies controls by a parasitic arthropod attached to the head (albeit the tick attached to the Supplicant is much bigger.)
