Nogitsune

Nogitsune are a perverted version of kitsune. There are three possible cause of the creation of the nogitsune. Necromancy Gone Awry
One kitsune song describes how a necromancer tried to reanimate an army of undead kitsune. Kitsune no matter what state of death, values freedom above all. But due to this curse of undeath, the nogitsune envies the living.

Oathbreakers

The holy scroll of Inari describe nogitsune as Zenko kitsune who has renounce their faith of Inari in pursue of darker faiths. In turn Inari cursed them into the monsters they now became. She removed their tails therefore they live as a state of undeath. In order to live, the nogitsune have to have sustenance of blood and flesh instead of conventional food and water. Nogitsune have the same infamy as vampires and succubi because of this.

Life Drain

You have the ability to feed of the life-force of a victim.
When you make a bite attack the target needs to make a Consitution saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, and no damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level.
