Maestro’s Monstrous Arms - Stirges
Rich folk sure are interesting… Must come with the territory. Enough money to just do the weirdest things. Either way, these magic items will come in handy.

Ijotober Day 6: Stirge
Stirges are fey-tech constructs, spawned en masse in mysterious automated factories that litter the dark corners of Lucidia. Its unknown who originally designed them, or for what purpose, but to most they're seen as dangerous, self-replicating pests, large mechanical mosquitoes to avoid at all costs. Others, like the Butcher gang however, see them as tools, to be captured, rewired and used as weapons in the Material plane. Since the closing of the fairy portals, many of the rewired stirges still remain in Ijo without their operators to give them direction, so it isn't uncommon to now find stirge nests, strange, blood-clot-like structures hanging in dark corners of densely populated areas. Without the fey-tech ressources they would normally require to self-replicate, the stirges spawned in Ijo are often constructed of scrap parts and stolen organs.

Day 6: Stirge
I never looked these up before and frankly thought the concept sounded goofier than the examples I found, so we went for goofy
From @catbatart’s RPG Monster Prompt list!

Souptober day 6 - Needle
Some more Zanteria spec evo, this time I present to you the Common Stirge, a modern day pterosaur with a vampiric lifestyle.
With a wingspan of aroung 30 cm (one feet), they cling unto unsuspecting victims at night, and use their saliva with special anesthesics to then pierce their skin without problem, sucking some blood and then flying off into the night again.
They usually nest in superficial caves, away from the Underdark where echolocating bats reign supreme.
Stirges are usually found in medium to large groups and are very protective of their territories, pecking intruders with their strong beaks until they decide to go away.

Attacked by blood-sucking owl-like creatures with elephant trunks and serpentine tails -- These feel like reskinned stirges, especially comparing the scene directly to David Sutherland's Strategic Review illustration. Reimagining the appearance of common encounters is a great way to maintain a sense of exploring the unknown. (Emmanuel Bautista, from Wizard’s Aide, 1977, a self-published third-party OD&D supplement by Matt Whalley)

Maestro’s Monstrous Arms - Stirge Mask & Stirgerang
Some working titles are never replaced, sadly. Not all of them can be winners. But, luckily the actual products turned out fantastic! That mask will surely strike fear into the hearts of the client’s enemies!
