Recoil from Wasted Opportunities
Vermleks can't stand the sight of a good meal presented and then swiftly taken away. Whenever a creature within sight of the vermlek has its dying condition removed, the vermlek takes 1d6[mental] damage.
Abandon Body
Requirements The vermlek is Inhabiting a Body
Effect The vermlek crawls out of the body they are inhabiting, devouring much of the body's remaining flesh and regaining 10[healing] Hit Points in the process. The corpse they leave behind is little more than a husk.
Inhabit Body
Requirements The vermlek isn't already Inhabiting a Body
Effect The vermlek crawls into the body of an adjacent Medium humanoid that has been dead for no more than 1 week, consuming the bulk of the victim's skeleton and internal organs as they do so and cramming themself into the cavity. As long as they Inhabit a Body, the vermlek loses their bite attack, can wield weapons like a humanoid, gains a +3 circumstance bonus to AC, and gains a +3 circumstance bonus to Deception checks to the creature they are inhabiting.
Unsettling Movement
Whenever the vermlek Abandons a Body or Inhabits a Body, all creatures within 30 feet who can see the vermlek must succeed at a save or become Frightened 1. On a critical failure, the creature is frightened 1 and Sickened 1. Regardless of the result, creatures are immune to the same vermlek's unsettling movement for 24 hours.
