They can actually destroy wood I found this out by trying to trap one

You can have a very strange pet

Fire does NOT work. Instead press and hold the use button (Y) when prompted. The leech may be on your screen but that doesn't mean it's on you.

Check all your dinos and you should see the message "hold (Y) to remove leech. Do this for all affected creatures and the Leech should then go away.

Its favorite food is forcetame

They suck and I that is not meant as a pun it is a fact that they literally suck and suck

They give you a crud ton of chitin, oil, silaca pearls, and leach blood. I kelled like three and got 547 chitin, 168 oil, 97 silica pearls, and like 150 leach blood.

BTW leaches DO NOT drop silica pearls its lamprey that do

I tried going in fire didn’t work almost died

I've got one on my giga how do I remove it

Fire does not appear to work on PS4 I've died multiple times from the flames and the leech never dies

Last time I encountered a leech, I was riding my wolf and he got killed by some sarco. After that I went beast out of rage and I didn’t show anymore

M e r c y.

To tame a leech, use a fish basket to tame and let it out and you have a leech!! Step S3: put a leech on neutral in behavior, after put leeches guarding your base/house and after, you have them all on neutral and whoever attacks the leeches has to deserve a leech-blood-steal. Happy leech-giving! (😂) leech says: yum, tastes like…turkey. Guy says: you idiot!!! That is not turkey! That blood! Leech says: ooh! More turkey!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Leaches will latch onto ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING.

I play on Mobile, and I never saw one of these

Can everyone please shut up with just saying you need a fish basket people won’t understand they will think you have a passively sneak up on it and feed it a full fish basket like a freaking shadow mane

It’s actually this is how it’s gonna go OK so everyone please just shut up saying it have to be tamed with a full or I mean a fish basket. People are not going to understand all right this is how you actually do it.

Make a fish basket and lore the leech towards the fish basket. Once it’s close enough capture in the fish basket it will then enter your inventory and become a full fish basket consume the full fish basket And a tamed Leach will appear in front of you now these are not shoulder pets, so don’t try to pick it up but they will follow you. It will just won’t say following you and they’re extremely slow so make sure you’re careful and you cannot level them up because they do not have an inventory. I will make a Leech Army That’s what I’m gonna do. happy times with a Titanosaurus killing leach army

I got one of these “things” stuck on my face and sitting a campfire fit an hour did not work but as I was heading home on my managamr to my argy. While I was boosting it flew off.

Hope this helps anyone who is in favor of transfers

Ps. It might work with a pt’s dash

You can trap it with a fish basket to tame

Make sure you always have torches specifically extra torches so they can kill these things and don't forget to get all the materials from them such as oil which can be quite helpful especially since you will need gasoline

If you get the swamp fever you need to kill one to make the cure or transfer to get rid of swamp fever

I took my Theri to the swamp he got like 5 leeches on him and died 😡
