Toothmite

A vile little critter, Toothmites live among the Angel's Teeth spending most of their lives latched to the enamel islands feeding off of the tooth directly. If a mite discovering a vein of marrow, they will chirp a loud, grating noise to attract a mate. When successful, the mites will lay their eggs in the meat and protect their chunk, and soon 10 - 15 young emerge, ready to eat. The outlaws among the badlands of the Bonelands tend to keep a pen of toothmite around their place of business. Nothing better to remove a body, or so I have heard.

Abilities

Parasite : Any creature that physically attacks the Toothmite's owner must make a constitution saving throw of 15. If failed, the Toothmite will latch to their body and deal 1d6 poison damage upon its turn, as well as healing 1d20 hp. The afflicted creature can attempt to kill the Toothmite or spend a turn to remove it forcefully, dealing an extra 1d8 piercing damage. After three meals, the Toothmite will need a long rest to digest before becoming hungry again.

Bloated : If the Toothmite is killed after healing itself through Parasite, as it reverts to ink blots it will spill a bubbling blood puddle of 15ft diameter. If it has fed on two separate enemies, the puddle has a diameter of 30ft, and if it has fed on three the puddle will be 60ft. Any enemy will take 1d4 + 2 poison damage if they end their turn while stood in this area, and the puddle will remain until the end of the fight.

Broodmother : If, through feeding in Parasite, the Toothmite brings any enemy made of organic matter to 0 HP, a new Toothmite will emerge from the corpse. The user can have up to three Toothmites at a time. After a long rest, these new Toothmites will revert to ink and disappear.
