Lethal fluid extraction
Blood drain refers to the removal or loss of blood from a body, whether through medical procedures, injury, or—in fiction—supernatural feeding by vampires or similar creatures.
The term also appears in video games and fantasy contexts as a mechanic where characters siphon health from enemies: The spell casts blood drain on nearby foes.
Figuratively, it can describe anything that steadily depletes vitality or resources.
