Adze (animal)
The adze is a strange creature to be sure, a monstrous insect that can grow to the size of a man. They are nothing less than a terror however, for their prodigious ability to drain vast quantities of blood from their victims, and indeed they are quite a terror to the communities they haunt.
Adzes can be incredibly difficult to hunt, with their variable size, their flight, and their invisibility. When preparing I must take care to always be aware of my surroundings, as I cannot trust my eyes. One mistake and the creature will strike true, drain me dry, leaving only an exsanguinated corpse. I thoroughly prepare mentally before setting out for the creature's hunting grounds.
I encounter the adze just outside of a small village, seeing it bent over the husk of a sheep. It doesn't notice as I draw my bow. I notch my shot, and prepare to fire.
