Can attack 3 times a round. Phys vs. Phys or attached.
The Bloodsnake is a bizarre plant creature, formed when a Bloodvine root is close to death. When the plant can no longer continue to grow in its current location the root detaches its many tentacles, pulls itself from the ground, and becomes a Bloodvine. This mass of sucker tipped tentacles moves slowly about on a long root mass, crossing surprising distances until it finds a new location to plant itself (somewhere with moisture and earth), at which point it becomes a dormant root for a few days before putting out new tendrils.

Like the parent plant the Bloodsnake feeds on the blood of animals. It is keenly attracted towards the heat and noise of living creatures, especially bleeding ones, and will seek them out. When it reaches them it will strike at them with many suckers, latching on to exposed flesh.

If it inflicts at least 1 point of damage with an attack then it will attempt to latch on. The target must make a successful resisted Physical roll to avoid this. Once latched on each tentacle will start to drain D4 Lethal a round in blood. Each attached tentacle gives the victim -3A/-3D. A target can attempt to break free of multiple tentacles at once (one for each success on the resisted roll) but has -2 Phys for each tentacle they attempt to break after the first.
