Ichorbane
A creation of Oublivae, a powerful demon also called the Queen of Desolation, the ichorbanes' goal is to wander the planes in order to gather blood for their mistress.
An ichorbane is equipped with a large tank on their back that connects to one of its arms, which is filled with blood by means of an its probiscus. While the blood is for its mistress, it does not hesitate to use its supply to empower itself if it means gathering more blood than what it uses. It can even inject this blood directly into a foe's bloodstream, causing shock to their immune system.
Once its tank is filled, the ichorbane returns to its mistress in the 100th layer of the Abyss, known as the Barrens.

Blood Tank. As a bonus action, the ichorbane can empower itself. When it does so, it may choose one of the following effects, each with a corresponding blood cost:
- Hasten (2 quarts): The ichorbane gains advantage on the next jagged claw attack, and its speed is doubled for this turn.
- Injection (2 quarts): The next jagged claw attack deals an extra 14 (4d6) poison damage.
- Strengthen (6 quarts): The ichorbane gains both the Injection and Hasten effects.
- Toughen (8 quarts): The ichorbane gains 5d12 temporary hit points.
The ichorbane has a tank on its back that begins with 10 + 2d4 quarts of blood in it, which can hold up to 250 quarts.
The tank is an object, has AC 20, 60 hit points, resistance to piercing and slashing damage, and immunity to poison and psychic damage. While worn, the tank automatically succeed on saving throws against spells and magical effects, and it takes no damage if it would normally take half damage on a successful save. Destroying the tank prevents the ichorbane from using this feature.
Hampered Flight. If the ichorbane has more than 100 quarts in its tank, its flying speed is halved.
