While attached, the annulid can't make bite attacks and at the start of each of the annulid's turns, the target loses 5 (1d6 + 2) hit points due to blood loss. The annulid can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. It does so after it drains 15 hit points of blood from the target or the target dies.

When the annulid takes damage, it magically teleports, along with any equipment it is wearing or carrying, up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space it can see.

Annulid broodlings are the most numerous of their kind, so much so that many speak of broodlings as though they were the only annulids to exist. Annulid broodlings use their spells to distract and harry their enemies from afar while hired mercenaries or fanatical cultists engage their foes up close.
