### Notes
|
|
|
|
- The process of becoming a vampire shatters the neurovores sanity, limiting access to certain vampiric abilities (ex: Charming Gaze).
|
|
- Prefers to hide in shadows, paralyzing victims with psionic blast before leaping on them and using their tentacles to devour their victim's brain.
