Sycophant

Some believe that these monstrous bugs were once ordinary mosquitoes which fed upon the cursed blood of others. Others say they were the original carriers of the Crimson Curse. Whatever its true source, most know only that there is a connection between mosquitoes and the blood sickness, and that its victims are eventually transformed into half-human, half-mosquito vampires.

Those afflicted with the Curse slowly change: their noses elongate, their skin becomes deathly pale, and their eyes become large, black and unblinking. Gradually, their teeth are replaced by fangs and their minds are consumed by delusions and madness, still believing they are human. Hidden under a thin layer of fake sophistication and nobility, however, they are mad beasts with an insatiable thirst for blood.

And if you think that these pests were annoying, wait until they get the chance to fill their bellies with the blood of your heroes, then they will go from annoying to deadly in the blink of an eye.

Behavior and Strategy
The Sycophant is a Bloodsucker type enemy that can be found in any area, usually with Supplicants. They are not particularly tough nor hard-hitting, meant to inflict your party with Stress and the Crimson Curse instead.

Their extremely high speed means that they are likely to act first. Because of this, it is recommended to keep them stunned while focusing on more dangerous foes. Additionally, if a Sycophant manages to land The Thirst, their new Bombing Run and Deafening Whine abilities are more dangerous and are not to be underestimated.
