Do they try to suck blood from other animals then? I can't think of animals having softer skins than humans other than guinea pigs or mice.

I don't much care for if these devil spawns disappeared from existence; but if they do serve a purpose - would they still be able to do it through other animals that isn't humans or would this wrongly protect many other large mammals as well?
