Action
Bite
Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw against disease. If the saving throw fails, the target takes 11 (2d10) poison damage immediately and becomes poisoned until the disease is cured. Every 24 hours that elapse, the creature must repeat the saving throw and reduce its hit point maximum by 5 (1d10) on a failure. This reduction lasts until the disease is cured. The creature dies if the disease reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
Action
Claws
Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d10 + 4) piercing damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 14). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained and the asanbosam can't claw a different target. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw against disease or contract the disease described in the bite attack.
Action
Multiattack
The asanbosam makes one bite attack and one claws attack.
Special
Arboreal
While up in trees, the asanbosam can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns.
Special
Spider Climb
The asanbosam can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
An asasonbosam is a hirsute hulk with bulging, bloodshot eyes, often perched high in a tree and ready to seize unwary passersby with talons like rusty hooks.
Iron Hooks and Fangs. They resemble hairy ogres from the waist up, but with muscular and flexible legs much longer than those of an ogre. These odd appendages end in feet with hook-like talons, and both the creature's hooks and its fangs are composed of iron rather than bone or other organic material. These iron fangs and claws mark an asanbosam's age, not just by their size but also by their color. The youngest specimens have shiny gray hooks and fangs, while older ones have discolored and rusty ones.
Iron Eaters. The asanbosam diet includes iron in red meat, poultry, fish, and leaf vegetables, and-in times of desperation- grinding iron filings off their own hooks to slake their cravings. The asanbosams' taste for fresh blood and humanoid flesh led to the folklore that they are vampiric (not true).
Tree Lairs. Asanbosams spend most of their lives in trees, where they build nest-like houses or platforms of rope and rough planks. They don't fear magic; most tribes count at least one spellcaster among its members.

Ability
Attack from Above
If an asanbosam is positioned above a target (usually by using its Climb speed), it can make a claw Strike with its reach increased to 15 feet. This Strike deals an additional 1d6 slashing damage, and if it hits, the asanbosam Grabs the target and pulls it to a space adjacent to the asanbosam. This counts as two attacks when calculating the asanbosam's multiple attack penalty.
Ability
Drink Blood
Circumstance: A grabbed, paralyzed, restrained, unconscious, or willing creatur
The asanbosam sinks its teeth into the creature to drink its blood. If the victim is grabbed, this is automatic; otherwise, the asanbosam must succeed at an Athletics check against the victim's Fortitude DC. The victim becomes drained 1 and the asanbosam regains 10 HP, gaining any excess HP as temporary Hit Points. Drinking Blood from a creature that's already drained increases the victim's drained value by 1, but doesn't restore any HP to the asanbosam. A victim's drained condition decreases by 1 each week. A blood transfusion, which requires a successful DC 20 Medicine check and a blood donor or sufficient blood, reduces the drained value by 1 after 10 minutes.
