Leech Wyrms

=== Biology ===
A creature that could be classified as a dragon, albeit a small one. They have 4 limbs, not including their wings. Their front legs are good at grabbing and holding onto caught prey. Their wings are typically tucked at their sides. Flight is typically used to track down prey from above or escape danger. They are small when compared to other dragons. They are about the size of a large moose, but look smaller since they are typically crouching.
Since these dragons are stalkers, they are incredibly stealthy. They’re all nocturnal, and seem to be harmed by prolonged exposure to sunlight. Their scales are pitch black which allows them to be almost invisible in the Night sky, only detectable by a spot where the stars seem absent.
==== Hunting Habits ====
These predators stalk their prey until they are vulnerable and then they strike. They exsansinguate their prey, sustaining themselves on blood. Unlike birds, these dragons don’t dive at their prey, instead stalking them like a lion to a gazelle.
=== Cultural and Historical Importance ===
==== Vazhaneyil ====
These dragons are said to be the early experiments of the Fell Star, Vulra, who was working to create a people strong enough to challenge the gods. To do that, it experimented with blood and blood magic.
==== Sika'cesn ====
Known as Ţáska (IPA: [ʈaː.skɐ]) in Trukhinian. 
It is seen as an especially high honor for any Sika to somehow kill a Ţáska, and one of the riskiest and most daring things most young Sika wouldn't even be able to stomach. When it is pulled off, something shifts in the Sika'cesn dynamic that lasts for a months (if not the whole year). Unlike other meats, the carcass is taken to the top of the mountain to be butchered, to keep the meat as clean and fresh as possible. The skin, brain and skeleton are given to the killer or their family, but the rest of the animal belongs to the tribe. Ţáska meat is one of the highest forms of cuisine among the Sika'cesn. Traditionally, the meat bordering pockets of fat is divided into small chunks (consisting of ½ meat and ½ fat, respectively) and dried into jerky, where it is used for the women's mining expeditions and the men's solitary prayer huts. These last throughout a whole year. The larger portions of meat are saved for extra special occasions. Mainly: holidays, births, tribal feasts and other special occasions. The liver is eaten as soon as possible and is shared with the entire tribe in a celebration honoring the victor's triumph. The most common way to eat Ţáska is as an unseasoned pot roast.
