Blood amniote

Blood amniotes were a type of undead ooze that made congealed blood and which gorged on blood.

Description
Blood amniotes were composed of hundreds of dead bodies that had died within close proximity of each other.

Combat
Blood amniotes would sneak up behind their prey and attempt to grapple them with numerous grasping tendrils, then proceed to drain blood from their victim's body.

Rumors & Legends
Scholars were uncertain as to the exact origin of blood amniotes, with debates split between spontaneous formation or artificial creation through necromantic rituals involving mass sacrifice.

One legend claimed that they inadvertently came about due to the actions of priests of Orcus. The legend stated that the priests unleashed a storm of burning blood against two opposing armies and that from this mass slaughter arose the first blood amniotes.
