Dominate Person: Once the red leech has burrowed into its victim and reached the victims brain it takes one turn for the leech to latch onto the victims brain. Once this attachment is complete, the victim suffers the effects of the Dominate Person spell (PHB pg. 235) falling under the control of the High Priest of the Drastikan who created the leech. The is no savings throw that can mitigate the effects of Dominate Person spell and its duration last until the red leech is killed. The only way for the red leech to be removed or killed is for the victim to be targeted by an effect that cures disease or removes a curse.

Actions

Burrow: The red leech can burrow through the soft tissue of a target. It takes two turns for the leech to completly burrow into the target. The target takes 2 points of necrotic damage for each turn. In that time the leech can be removed from the target. If the leech completely burrows into the victim the only way for it to be removed or killed is for the victim to be targeted by an effect that cures disease or removes a curse. The red leech will continue to burrow through a victim at a rate of one foot per turn until it reaches the victims brain. Each turn a leech burrows the victim takes 1 point of necrotic damage.

A Red Leech of Dras is created by a High Priest of the Drastikan with the sole purpose of controlling a humanoid host. The red leeches are pieces of the High Priest, giving the High Priest complete control over the leech as well as the target infected by the red leech. These leeches are approximately three inces in length with semi-segmented bodies that are translucent dark red.

The leeches are used in Drastikan enslavement ceremonies, in which the Drastikan have kidnapped humanoids in order to make slaves of them for their armies of undead. The red leech burrows it's way through the targets ear and latches onto the targets brain. Once the leech takes hold of the target brain the tartget falls under control of the High Priest who created the leech. The enslaved victim remains in hummanoid form.
