Giant leeches are dangerous water vermin that are feared by adventurers and commoners alike.
Description
Giant leeches are 3′ long aquatic animals, found in marshes and swamps, but also in caves and sewers. They attack warm blooded creatures, feeding on their blood.
Giant leeches attack by biting with their sharp teeth, doing 1 point of damage. They then drain the blood of their victim until killed.
These disgusting creatures are also know to carry disease, and can pass that on to their victims.
Giant leeches are found in the swamps of Urre and Northern Kavast. They are not known in Tianshang.
