The expelled blood gathers and flows across the intervening distance between the prey and the blood amniote. Creatures hit with a blood amniote's slam attack, it takes 1d4 Constitution damage, and the blood amniote gains an equal number of temporary hit points. ### Spawn (Ex) If a blood amniote has a number of temporary hit points equal to its full total hit points, it spawns, splitting into two identical blood amniotes, each with a number of hit points equal to the original blood amniote's full normal total. #### tactics When a blood amniote senses potential prey, it quickly moves to engage, hoping to draw our the blood of its victims in full quantity. #### ecology **Terrain** **Organization** **Treasure** **Advancement** The half-congealed blood of past victims gives a blood amniote its form, and its ties to the Negative Energy Plane give the creature animation. Mindless, it seeks only to pierce the fleshy carapace of all living creatures it comes upon so it can draw out the blood beneath. Though these creatures are mindless, vestiges of past victims completely drained of blood remain imprinted on them. Observers sometimes see these random memories as faces that briefly form on the surface of a blood amniote, only to fall away again to formlessness moments later.
