dwarf Rotsucker

This waifish counterpart to the rotsucker can often be found lurking in the crannies and crevices of a nesting rotsucker's lair. While considerably smaller, they maintain an imposing presence due to their horrific, nightmare-fueled form.

Dwarf rotsuckers typically hunt small rodents, birds, or other wildlife, but at times will flock together to target larger prey. They often come to the defense of a rotsucker's nesting grounds when a predator is bold enough to enter.
