The way to remove a lamprey and leeches is to stand over a campfire, they will detach and disappear, up this so people know

When they attach themselves you are immune to radiation

They protect you from the stupid nameless

And the radiation

Its main feature is if it bites you your are immune to radiation for 500 seconds with the side effect of it rarely taking away stamina,health,ect, but usually it never gives you any of these, hoped this helped!-C

If he isn’t tamed by giving him blood he should be a passive tame, you know! Just give him a blood pack and he is yours. Who else thinks this?

Really good at abberation, they gave you charged buff against nameless, protect you from radiation(immunity), in exchange they suck off your blood and rare chance of giving you diseases. Buff last for 600 seconds. Awesome way to go into radiation zone to get rockdrake egg or red gem without the need to make yourself a hazard suit in the mid game.up this so people know

Try taming it, setting to aggressive, then unclaiming it to have a lamprey when needed instead of searching for one every time.

They can attach themselves to you even if you're wearing Tek armor, at least on Valguero. I didn't know that and thought because of my armor i'd be safe like with regular leeches. Nope, they can latch onto you no matter what you're wearing.

How come every one else gets the lamprey but I can't find it anywhere!?!?

If you get a leech/lamprey just stand on a fire or get a tribemate to stab it off, if this will not work simply check your tames for leeches
