Notes:
Bloodvelds are blood draining Chthonian demons and favored pets of Vampyres of all classes. While a normal person may not think that an eldritch, life-stealing infernal is analogous to a dog, Vampyres are right at home with this idea. Bloodvelds attack with a magical blood siphon, so it is best to keep your distance and engage in suitable numbers. They are also one of the only known demons that do not turn to ash on death, so if you’re looking to collect ashes to sell to priests, you are out of luck.
Thrown weapons get the job done best with Bloodvelds, keeping you at a good distance from the beast. A good leather cuirass will also help absorb the impact of their magical attacks, allowing you to endure for a while longer in a fight.
