Actions (1)
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit. Hit: 6 (1d10 + 1) piercing damage and the Wretched attaches to the target. While attached, the Wretched can’t attack, and at the start of each of the Wretched’s turns, the target takes 6 (1d10 + 1) necrotic damage.
The attached Wretched moves with the target whenever the target moves, requiring none of the Wretched’s movement. The Wretched can detach itself by spending 1 meter of its movement on its turn. A creature, including the target, can use an action to detach a Wretched.

Enhance
You can maneuver two additional creatures for each additional stamina die expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other.
As an action, you can use Stealth without using an action. Additionally, before the end of your next turn, you can add the stamina die to an attack’s damage (add half on a miss by 4 or less) if you have advantage on the attack, or if the creature is within 1 meter of an enemy of the creature that isn’t incapacitated and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack.
