They are a smaller creature, usually 3-4 feet in height, with a humanoid type body. They have arms and legs, but instead of hands, they have long sloth type claws that help them scale the canyon walls. They don a shell type armor that is fairly resistant to easy attacks from predators. They also have long protruding fangs from the mouth and mirror type eyes that are sensitive to light. They are night hunters and usually hunt in groups. The femals have two sacs in their mouth where they store the sucked marrow to feed to the young.

Combat:
Bonesuckers are a quiet group, but hunt in packs to find larger prey. They use their long claws to subdue the larger creatures, ripping at the flesh until death before bringing the large kill back to their caves to have the colony feed on the kill. They use their long protruding fangs to suck the blood out, then dig further into the bones, to hollow them out by sucking all the marrow out for nutrition. If they are threatened or any walk into their territory, they will attack.

Habitat/Society:
Bonesuckers are communal and live in the damp caves beneath Badtooth Splinter. Usually the groups will consist of 30-50 members with the females giving birth to 3 to 4 offspring during the mating seasons. The male Bonesuckers are usually 4 feet in height, while the females are 3 feet. They can walk on 2 feet or all fours depending on the terrain. They prefer walking on all fours as it is easier on their smaller forms.

Ecology:
Bonesuckers are a short lived creature, only sustaining life for 5 years before dying off, that is why their numbers are so large. They are a vampiric type creature, hunting at night, with keen vision for finding lost prey. They spend their days in the dark damp caves of Zyg Thod and are a feral creature with no forms of communication. They do however communicate with empathy, a strange kind, only known to the creatures themselves..that is how they form organized hunts.
