AnvilWeaverLANDAQUATICaberration

Foul occult magic, rare alchemical reagents, and copious amounts of spilled blood are the keys to creating a vitalia-also known as a heart horror-though thankfully the exact means of their creation has been long forgotten. Now, most vitalias now come into being by sheer accident. This unusual life-form cannot live without regular contact with blood, much like how fish cannot live long outside of water. Because of this, vitalias are rarely found outside the lairs of mad alchemists or wizards, li

Abilities

Tremorsense (Imprecise) 60 feet — Tremorsense allows a monster to feel the vibrations through a solid surface caused by movement. It is an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Tremorsense functions only if the monster is on the same surface as the subject, and only if the subject is moving along (or burrowing through) the surface.
Bloodsense (Precise) 30 feet — The vitalia can detect any creatures that have a heartbeat.
No Vision
Fast Healing 20 — A monster with this ability regains the given number of Hit Points each round at the beginning of its turn.
Blood Eruption
Constrict — 4d8+10 bludgeoning damage, DC 37 Fortitude

The monster deals the listed amount of damage to any number of creatures Grabbed or Restrained by it. Each of those creatures can attempt a basic Fortitude save with the listed DC.
Forced Transfusion
Sanguine Rain (occult) — Frequency once per day

Effect The vitalia pumps copious amounts of blood into the air, creating a cascading rain of vital fluids in a 15-foot emanation.

All creatures in the area are Concealed from one another. A creature that benefits from consuming blood (such as bloodseekers or vampires) gains fast healing 10 while in the area. While in the area, a creature taking persistent bleed damage cannot end that condition, even if it spends actions to attempt a flat check to do so.

The rain lasts for 1 minute.

Occult Innate Spells DC 36, attack +28

3rd Vampiric Touch

WORKS WELL WITH

CrasherLAND / AQUATICA crasher exploits Vitalia's Grab and Constrict to land uncontested damage on a held target, solving the tempo tension between lockdown and finishing power.
SniperLAND / AQUATICA sniper benefits from the concealment Sanguine Rain provides while Vitalia tanks the frontline, covering the positioning tension between ranged safety and melee threat.
MenderLAND / AQUATICA mender patches Vitalia through its piercing weakness and sustains its slow frontline advance, covering the survival priority erosion from consistent chip damage.
