To remove this bugger on Xbox since an “e” button fails to exist. Hold y. And above access inventory it’ll say hold to remove leech. Literally just watched 20 videos about the e button but nothing about Xbox or console buttons b were mentioned

Idk if Anyone knows this but if you have a leech a argentavius can remove them stand in front and open the command menu should be up saying( remove leech) my pro freinds were like u lieing but it's true thumbs for safe leech removal

Just step on them if you have anything that can deal damage when walking

Just hit the green finned ones with whatever happens to be the strongest weapon in your inventory they will pop and die but run if you see orange finned ones they carry the plague

If you want to get this off go to one of your carnivore creatures (I did it with a dilo) and press take off leech and boom it’s off

These do exist on mobile I’ve killed multiple just hit with a pike

It would be cool if you could tame it with your blood from extraction syringes and then put it on other players’ dinos while they are offline >:)

Take a spino do the DJ claw move around river! They don't latch on him. Lots in redwoods.

Removal is easy. Walk up to your dino n you will be prompted to remove. Remove.

Use fire to get them off of your tame by walking over a lit campfire

If u want to escape they are usually not at the edges a the swamp. Most of the time.

When u eat leech blood u will eventually get your torpor uppd

I forgot to pull off this from my best mount and she died ......

If leeches stick to u you’ll need fire campfire or torch both do, if you get it on a tame just pull it off

Fires work ONLY FOR PLAYERS ON MOBILE and you have to PICK IT OFF FROM MOUNTS.

Taming a leech is quite hard and I would recomend its taming using a flyer to be away frkm them while you use the fish basket

Leech blood can be obtained by killing or harvesting a leech and it can be used for fish bait/lesser antidote which is used to cure swamp fever

If there is one on your screen in x box and no matter what you do it doesn’t come off check all your tames if a leech is latched on one of your tames it will show up on your screen.

I saw a comment saying you’d need an araneo to hunt leeches and I just wanna say you really don’t. For example I just use a sarco and have yet to have a leech stick on to me.

FOR MOBILE ONLY:

These are not as rare as you think. Every other I get yoinked off a mount by a kapro I end up running into at least one. That being said I don't get yoinked off mounts often but when I do in the swamp I find a leech. After puttering around on my pelagornis I managed to find enough to get 30ish leech blood.
