Flavor

All versions' flavor text and sprites

Flavor Text

: It loves the blood of humans and Pokémon. It flies around at night in search of neck veins.
: Once it starts sucking blood, it does not stop until it is full. It flies at night in search of prey.
: Its sharp fangs puncture the toughest of hides and have small holes for greedily sucking blood.
: However hard its victim’s hide may be, it punctures with sharp fangs and gorges itself with blood.
: It can drink more than 10 ounces of blood at once. If it has too much, it gets heavy and flies clumsily.
