While attached, the annulid can't make bite attacks and at the start of each of the annulid's turns, the target loses 10 (2d6 + 3) hit points due to blood loss. The annulid can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. It does so after it drains 30 hit points of blood from the target or the target dies.

Annulid hierophants lead other annulids in worship of Isuga, wielding powerful divine magic to wreak havoc upon those who would oppose the Leech Mother's will. Whenever hierophants go to battle, they are surrounded by throngs of fawning cultists and their lesser kin, eager to earn the blessings of Isuga by aiding one who has already attained them.
