Stalking Desires. The embrisar can sense the emotions of creatures whose heartbeat it can detect. As an action, the embrisar makes a Charisma (Deception) check contested by a creature's Wisdom (Insight) check. If successful, the embrisar can read the creature's surface thoughts and understand its emotional state. Master's Hold. If damage reduces the embrisar to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw equal to a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the embrisar drops to 1 hit point instead. An embrisar's master may end its life at any time using a bonus action. Actions

"While other demons delight in malice and carnage, the embrisar seem almost delicate by comparison. Consumed with only admiration and devotion for there beloved, they gladly offer their still beating heart in tribute."~ Sydell Mazer

Description
In the darkest corners of desire, an obsession-sick demon known as an embrisar is transformed. Once mortal, the transformation is wrought through a gruesome and intimate ritual involving a succubus or incubus who reveals their true form. The act leaves the person with physical scars that tell the story of their dark devotion. Claws extend where fingertips once touched, now chiseled into grotesque weapons. A hollow void in their chest, where their heart once beat, remains a cavity of devotion. Their pale, almost lifeless appearance belies an irresistible attraction to intense emotions and unbreakable bonds. These creatures wander, driven by an insatiable hunger for connection, forever tethered to the whims of their creators. The ritual that changes them is finished by the unceremonious removal of heart, eyes, and fingertips, binding them in twisted servitude. Should their demon master die, an embrisar's torment does not end. Instead, they are set adrift, their inherent attraction to strong emotions turning into a relentless, desperate search for new sources of attachment. They become lost demons, forever seeking a connection that might fill the void left by their abandonment.
History
It is believed that the first embrisar were twisted creations of Lilith the Cruel, the first demon to step onto Dromaria. Legends speak of Lilith's dark power, with her bloodless embrisar trailing in her wake like shadows. These pale, devoted thralls served as her taunting, throwaway soldiers, sick and willing to do anything she desired, their hearts held in her fist. Recently, in the grim aftermath of the Demon War, embrisar have been discovered frozen en masse on the icy continent of Mortéglace. Scholars theorize that Lilith has been seducing the tragic figures known as Lamentia's Lost, who became obsessively enchanted with the witch Lamentia in 1 UE. This new wave of embrisar reflects a haunting evolution of Lilith's dark influence, a chilling reminder of her ongoing dominion over the forsaken.
Tactics
When bound to a master, embrisar unflinchingly follow orders, attacking with blind ferocity and unfaltering loyalty. Every action is in service to their master's whims, and they will lay down their lives without hesitation. In the absence of a master's command, embrisar are driven by an insatiable hunger for companionship or love. They identify and stalk targets who are most vulnerable to their emotional manipulations, assaulting their prey with relentless obsession until they are either accepted or destroyed.
