Modeling The Ginosaji

So, on average, it'll kill it's prey in about 60 days. That's probably a little too fast for what's depicted, but I can't see any other way to model it without greater granularity to the system.

The thing is, the Ginosaji won't let you die. And aside from the bruising and the occasional lost tooth, it actually causes no loss of hit points (otherwise, Jack would be dead a hundred times over).
