Blood Sense: The blood golem can sense the presence of any living creature within 60 feet of it. It can't pinpoint the exact location of such creatures, but it knows the general direction.

Actions

Multiattack: The blood golem makes two attacks: one with its fist and one with its blood drain.
Fist: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 13 () bludgeoning damage.
Blood Drain: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 13 () bludgeoning damage. If the target is a living creature, the blood golem also reduces the targets Constitution score by 2 () points. The creature dies if its Constitution score is reduced to 0 by this damage. The blood golem regains hit points equal to half the damage dealt. Constitution score reduction caused by Blood Drain is restored after a long rest.
Clotted Hide: As an action, the blood golem can harden its outer layer of blood into a thick hide, gaining resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons until it ends this effect with another action or falls unconscious.
Bloodcurdle (Recharge 5-6): The blood golem lets out a horrifying shriek. Each creature within 30 feet of it must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, taking 18 () necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Notes

A blood golem is a horrifying sculpture of violence, a pulsating mass of crimson that mocks the human form. Its surface writhes like thick, viscous sludge, occasionally revealing glimpses of bone and muscle beneath. Two powerful fists, crudely formed from the same bloody material, protrude from its body. A sense of cold, predatory intelligence emanates from it. The air around a blood golem reeks of iron and decay
Nature
Blood golems are animated constructs fueled by dark magic and a hunger for life force. They are most often created by twisted necromancers or serve as guardians for powerful vampires. The ritual to create a blood golem is a gruesome affair, requiring a large amount of blood, often stolen from unsuspecting victims.
Behavior
Blood golems are driven by a primal urge to consume life force. They lurch towards any living creature they sense, their movements ungainly yet relentless. In combat, they rely on their brute strength and draining touch to overwhelm their foes. When threatened, they can harden their outer layer into a thick, protective hide.
