Graspid

Lore/Behavior: Graspids are ambush predators. Lurking silently in high vaults and corridors, they drop onto unsuspecting prey, immobilizing them with their suction appendages. Old tomb inscriptions speak of them as "sentinels of forgotten halls," suggesting they may have once been revered or even bred by ancient priests to guard sacred places. Their eye is said to record sins, drawing nourishment from those who die in its sight.
