A sanguitoid. A mysterious needle nosed demon found in the caves beneath the Jewel Family castle. Strong and nimble, their needle like beak is able to suck the blood out of it’s victims while producing enzymes that disable it’s prey. Emerald barely survived his encounter with them. The question remains though, past and present, as to why they were there and what connection they might have to his step-parent’s practice of the dark arts.
