This creature is a flat, glass-clear sheet of living jelly, all but invisible as it creeps along floors and walls in pursuit of warm prey. It trails a victim silently for hours, then flows over them while they sleep or rest, gripping with a paralytic touch that briefly immobilises them for a few seconds while it drains their blood and fluids through the skin. Because it is transparent and nearly weightless, few notice it until they cannot move. It shuns open battle, preferring to stalk the lone and the unwary.
Behavior
- Trails chosen prey unseen, sometimes for hours, awaiting an opening
- Flows over a resting or sleeping victim to attack
- Grips with a numbing, paralytic touch that briefly immobilises, then drains fluids
- Flees or hides if discovered and resisted
Abilities
- Transparency. Nearly invisible; extremely hard to detect before it strikes.
- Paralytic Grip. Its touch numbs and briefly immobilizes the victim for a few seconds while it feeds.
- Fluid Drain. Slowly absorbs blood and bodily fluids through the skin.
Drops & Crafting
- Clear residual jelly (alchemical reagent; invisibility/anesthetic study)
- Paralytic secretion (sedative or coating)
