Giant Leeches

Uncommon

Giant leeches are monstrous, bloated parasites that dwell in swamps, marshes, rivers, lakes, and other wet, murky environments. These creatures can grow from the size of a small snake to the size of a small tree, depending on their age and the abundance of food. Their slimy, segmented bodies are covered in a thick mucus that helps them move silently through water or across wet ground. At one end, a giant leech has a circular mouth filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth, which it uses to latch onto its prey and drain their blood and bodily fluids. These creatures are voracious feeders, and once attached, they can be incredibly difficult to remove.

Habitat and Society

Giant leeches are solitary creatures, often found lurking in stagnant pools, slow-moving rivers, or dank caves. They prefer environments with abundant moisture, where they can easily remain hidden until an unsuspecting victim passes by. These creatures are opportunistic predators, feeding on anything that comes within reach, including fish, amphibians, and even larger animals like deer or humanoids. Despite their solitary nature, giant leeches are known to gather in particularly rich feeding grounds, creating a dangerous area for any living creatures.
