Blood mole.

A monster that resembles a mole, as its name suggests.

The "blood" prefix is likely due to one of two reasons:

Either because its slippery body is as red as blood.

Or because these creatures, with their almost atrophied eyesight, are incredibly adept at detecting the scent of blood and swarming towards it.

Encountering a blood mole in a narrow tunnel is extremely troublesome.

That's why, during mining operations, if you get injured, you must quickly treat the wound with bandages or similar.

You don't want blood moles to be attracted to the scent of your blood.

"R-run away."

"Got it!"

The wounded blood mole thrashed about in all directions.

Pickaxes struck the ground uselessly.

'Too slow.'

I stepped in.

Chomp!

As I bit down hard on the blood mole, it wriggled for a moment before falling still.

A small monster without poison resistance had no chance against neurotoxin.
