The Giant Leech was a species of blood-sucking creature.[1]
Description[]
Disgustingly soft and tube-like, almost half a metre long, they swam leisurely around the brackish creeks, awaiting a warm-blooded creature to prey upon. When one passed, they would attempt to latch onto it with tiny, hook-like teeth and drain their blood. Each leech would continue to feed until satiated and full of blood, before falling off.
Pulling off a giant leech would cause damage, as its teeth tear away a large patch of skin. Striking and killing a leech with a weapon such as a knife required great luck, or the blow will miss and cause damage. A safer way to remove a giant leech was to sprinkle it with salt, which caused the revolting creature to shrivel up and die.
Origins and Distribution[]
Giant leeches were found among the backwaters of marshes and swamps across Allansia, Kakhabad, the Inland Sea of southern Khul, and beyond.
