Blixes
Blixes are fey beings, given various magical abilities that can be channeled through their fangs. There are three types of blixes: Lectoblixes, which have the ability to drain the youth of their victims. Narcoblixes, who are capable of exerting control over sleeping creatures. Finally, Viviblixes, which can reanimate the dead.
Lectoblix
Lectoblixes have the ability to drain the youth of their victims. They age very rapidly, so must frequently drain victims to remain youthful. A lectoblix is naturally charismatic, so uses its charms to seduce victims into allowing it to bite them.

Narcoblix
Narcoblixes can exert control over its victims while they are asleep. They are naturally stealthy so typically sneak in to houses to bite their victims. A narcoblix has no limits to how many creatures it can have under its curse at once, however, it can only exert control over one at a time. To do so, the narcoblix falls into a magical sleep and moves its conscious into the mind of a creature under its curse.
Sleepwalker's Curse. While controlling a creature, a narcoblix shows no outwards sign that it is doing so. It appears to just be sleeping. A creature being controlled appears to wake up and begin doing whatever the narcoblix wants it to do. While controlling one of its victims, the narcoblix has access to all of the creatures memories. Another creature can not easily tell when something is under the effects of Sleepwalker's Curse, unless the narcoblix slips up and says something out of character for the creature.

The narcoblix can choose to fall unconscious, as if asleep, and take control of a creature it has bitten who is also unconscious. The extent of this control is: as long as the narcoblix stays unconscious, the creature is under its control, to the point that the narcoblix can cause a creature to do harm to its friends and itself without waking it. A creature who realizes someone is under the effect of Sleepwalker's Curse can make a DC 30 Persuasion check to inspire the creature to wake up.

Viviblix
Viviblixes can channel their power through a bite to reanimate the dead. A viviblix can choose to reanimate any creature that it can get its hands on. The average number of Thralls a narcoblix can have reanimated at once is twelve, but stronger narcoblixes may be able to reanimate more.
Undead Thralls. When a viviblix reanimates a creature, a body is not created for the thrall, it keeps the same injuries it had when it died. For instance, if a viviblix found the skeleton of a dragon, it could choose to reanimate that dragon, but it would only be the bones of a dragon. However, the creature retains the same stat blocks it had when it was alive.
