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

Hope after you read this you don't end up with a beloved tame lost

If you are going through the swamp with a tame, stop once and a while to get on land and check for leeches on your tame. Go into creature settings and if you see 'remove leech' click it. Keep checking until the botton doesn't show up, as a single tame can have multiple leechs.

(Not related to leechs but I once saw like, 6 Rynionothas flying around absolutely DELETEING every creature in sight. Me, my parasaur, and my three raptors barely made it out with our lives.)

If you have a leech, campfires will burn it off. I THINK that fire might get leechs off tames too, but the first leech method I mentioned is waaaayyyyyyy less risky (Rip 5 dilos)

I hope this reaches you well, and have a wonderful day!

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.

No latch onto Beelzebufos

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

WATCH OUT THEY GO ON LAND AND WIGGLE

The yutyrannus, not the rex, is your best friend for leech hunting. The leech is vulnerable to the fear roar, and the debuff reveals their location. This makes hunting them a simple errand. You'll collect so much leech blood you could start a swamp fever clinic.

Fire doesn’t work to remove leeches anymore. Go to a tamed animal, open command wheel and click “hold to remove leech.”

Hi guys i read on google that if there is a leech already hanging from your body you need a fire or cooking pot to remove ... hope this helps - T♡
