Goliath Stirge (CR 15)

The largest breed of stirge, these massive mosquito-like things are deadly menaces to any warm-blooded creature they come in contact with. Goliath Stirges are winged predators which roam in packs and sometimes even massive swarms, seeking out prey. Like all stirges, goliath stirges subsist on blood, and seek it out with gleeful abandon. Goliath stirges require a great deal of blood to survive, and so the packs are highly nomadic, wandering great distances to find new prey. They rely on a peculiar variant of scent to find their prey. Once located, they descend and feast with hedonic abandon.
