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

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.

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

I don’t know if I was doing something wrong but I could never get a leech to detach by standing over a campfire I once even stood on top of one until I nearly burned to death and still nothing then i actually burned to death and still had leech on screen that’s when I realized it was on one of my Dinos and felt dumb

You can find these in "Leech Trench" in Ragnarok, but normal/diseased normal Leeches will also spawn there, so do Trilobites, Ammonites, and Eurypterids!

These shouldn't drop chitin! They're a sort of creepy primitive vampire fish!

The best method Step 1:FOCETAME Step 2: it's tamed😎

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