Proboscis Strike (d8 damage 2 piercing)	12 HP	1 armor
Close
Special Qualities: After the corpse bug drains its prey of all fluids, it attaches the husk of its victim to its back in a macabre form of armor.

The Corpse Bug has a proboscis that it uses to impale prey and then sucks out it's prey's fluids in order to feed.

If you are damaged by a Proboscis Strike, roll Defy Danger to dislodge the proboscis from yourself. On a 10+ you do it without further harm, on a 7-9 you do it but choose one:

• You got hit hard, take 2 more damage


• The bug got a small taste of you, take a debility


• Your armor is damaged and of no use until you repair it.

On a miss, the bug starts to feed. Take another 1d4+1 damage and try to get away again.

Instinct: To Feed

• Impale with Probscis
• Scuttle away to a dark place
• Attack by surprise
