Life Drain. Any creature that is grappled by the Xivvian Wight or starts/ends its turn within 5" of the Xivvian Wight, the creature must make a DC 14 constitution savings throw or take d6+2 necrotic damage and have its hit point maximum reduced by the amount of damage taken. If a creature's hit points are reduced to 0 by this method, it starts its detah savings throws already at -1.

From one the of Alin homeworlds, the Xivvian Wights are undead remnants of a long extinct race that once dwelt in the skies on giant biological dirgibles.
They dwell in the highest reaches of the atmosphere by day, and descend at night seeking victims on the surface.
Typically encountered in swarms, they can also travel on land, albeit very slowly.
There are some among the Alin who can control and direct them, though largely they exist at the edge of Alin civilisation, at the bow or edge of Alin activity.
