A small insectile crustacean whose neurotoxic bite withers strength over time, meaning to use the victim as a living egg incubator.

How to run itClimb in for one bite, then bank on the DC 14 venom — a failed save bleeds 1d6 Strength now and again a minute later, so harry rather than trade hits.
Rock warts were orange/brown insect-like crustaceans found on many planets. Their bite delivered a neurotoxin to their victim, which was then used as an incubator for up to twenty eggs.

Bite (Action). Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, Reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 (1d3-1) kinetic damage, and the target must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 14). On a success, the creature is unaffected by the venom. On a failure, the creature loses 1d6 Strength, then must attempt another save 1 minute (10 rounds) later. If the second save fails, the creature loses an additional 1d6 Strength. If this reduces the creature's Strength to 0 or lower, it dies.
