WARNING: on mobile they do stick to swamp original creatures so if you go passing by make sure to bring 3 lesser antidotes in case of diseased leech one for you one for your tame and the third in case one spoils

I can never find these things even though I was driving a raft across a swamp

Mom always said wait a half hour after eating COOKED MEAT before swimming in the swamp. Now the leeches are swarming me.

If on a rhynio they will break ur saddle then attach themselves to ur rhynio. Do not get off ur mount until u are back at base. Or u will have to kill urself and then go back to where ur rhynio is and have it follow u home

{*LEACH WILL NOT COME OFF} —

Not sure if this is a specific version, or if it’s a glitch on console only, but if you have a leach that won’t come off, it’s not actually on you, but on one of your dinosaurs.

If you remove the leach off of the dinosaur, the graphic of the leach will be removed from your view.

- Learned this on X-box One Series S install (unknown update version)

The Dex said that they drop megalania kibble 😕?

The diseased leech can be distinguished by its red and orange colour scheme rather than the normal leech being black and green

Fire no longer removes them. You can remove them through the radial menu of your tame.

About leeches

You can get rid of them by standing by your fire. I thought that was nifty. But standing by the refining forge will only heat you up.

Hopefully you don't make your hut near leech territory!

to kill, just take your crossbow, point the crossbow at the Leech, yell, “DISGUSTING” and shoot it.

KILL IT!!!!!!!WITH FIRE SERIOUSLY IT NEEDS TO DIE!!!!!!!

There are a crap load of them in the water in the toxic cave bring a megathreum

Is it just me or are people intentionally getting swamp fever on pvp servers

Bug with the leach not falling off your screen even though its dead... just encountered it. Log off and back on to clear it...

I hate leeches so only go throw the swamp with my spino so if a leech get on me i can get it off kill it and get the blood

I was hunting sarcos and found a baryonyx I wanted to tame. Then I found this guy and he chased me halfway from the swamp to my base. I took care of him with my shotgun though.

I have never encountered a single Leech in my entire playtime on Ark. I’ve taken dino’s at both night and day through both swamps on Ragnarok, swam through them and stood next to the shore hoping to get attacked. (I’m on official by the way) and I have Swamp Fever somehow.

There are disease leech on mobile,just rare

To cure it use Lesser Antidote(Dosent work on creature)

Let's say you went down to the swamp and you ended up getting sucked on.

You can use a campfire or a tribemate to remove the leedh, and a Lesser Antidote to cure the swamp fever if you get infected.

If you get one on you roast yourself over a fire
