Sycophant

Some believe that these twisted oversized monstrous bugs were once ordinary mosquitoes until they fed upon the cursed blood of others, while others say they were the carriers of Crimson Curse. Those stung by these wretched bugs are at risk to be infected by the disease. No one really knows where the blood curse came from, only that there is a connection between mosquitoes and the blood sickness and they have become inseparable to the point that those inflicted by the curse will slowly change, becoming half-human half-mosquito vampires.

Those inflicted by the curse will slowly chance, their noses elongating, their skin become deadly pale, their eye becoming large, black and unblinking, their teeth falling out only to replace by fangs, their mind slowly subsuming to delusions and madness, still believing they are human while they have lost all their humanity and hidden under a thin layer of fake sophistication and nobility they are mad beasts with insatiable thirst for blood.

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

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

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.
