Leech

The Leech can only be tamed using a Fish Basket.
Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
To get a leech off of you, you need to create a fire and jump on the fire for a few seconds until the leech dies
If you're looking for leeches (to get leech blood) just listen, cuz they make a sound in the water when you're close to them (it sounds similar to someone making but bubbles inside the water). Everytime I go to the swamp i always find them quick and easy due to this and I hope this help other people too.
On the island there’s many outbreaks of “swamp fever”. You get Swamp fever by getting a infected leech stuck on you and TRANSFERRING NO longer Gets RID of SWAMP FEVER.
FOR MOBILE PLAYERS ONLY:
These are in the swamp, they’re just super rare and you rarely will find them. They must be removed via campfire or cooking pot, same thing applies to dinos that aren’t native to the swamp.
FOR MOBILE PLAYERS ONLY:
I read on the ark wiki that they dont latch onto tames native to the swamp
Fire doesn’t work to remove leeches anymore. Go to a tamed animal, open command wheel and click “hold to remove leech.”
to the guy who asked howto paint dinos in ark mobile go yo mortar and pestle and crush some ancient amber it will give potent dust colour the potent dust put in creatures inventory and boom its tainbow
If you have scuba equipped the leach will come off in a few seconds I think it has to be a full set
Can’t use a campfire to get off go to a Dino and hold whatever your consoles menu button to get behaviour and stuff and it will be there
They can be only be tamed in a fish basket
