It is milky white with flecks of red. Individually, a blood bloater poses little threat. However, these oozes tend to congregate in swarms of about 650 creatures, and as such they can be quite a menace to unwary swimmers. ### Combat A bloodbloater swarm simply swims around or slithers over its target and begins to drain blood at a shocking rate. Bloodbloaters have no concept of satiation; upon becoming engorged on blood (and turning milky red in color), they continue to feed as excess blood is forced out of their bodies and into the surrounding water.
