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

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

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

If they stick to your tames, you can just grab them in mobile. It makes them disappear. They also spawn under the waterfall in the writhered swamps.

WATCH OUT THEY GO ON LAND AND WIGGLE

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

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.

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♡

Make a fire then jump on it if it attacks you

If there is hole, there is a goal

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.

Guys according to the ark wiki leeches don’t latch onto swamp-native tames such as

Sarco

Kapro

I think paracer

Probably Titanboa

And I don’t know anything else it wont latch onto

They have a chance to give you swamy sickness if bit. Take a large land Dino like an Allo or Rex and just bite spam water to gather leech blood.

I'm used to them just like getting on my body and just going into fire, but anyways I went out to look for something to tame in the swamp and I actually saw one like in the water and not on anything ( I was on my imprinted Baryonyx ) and I just turned into a cat and started hissing at. it like actually hissing and I just decided "that's it I'm going back" but the way it was moving in the water it was just terrifying and disgusting

If a leach is on one of your TAMES it will appear on your screen as though it's on you.

Walk up to your tame and hit Triangle(PS4 obvs) and it'll get rid.

These are annoying as f. To kill these stupid things just stand in a fire for a second if u don’t the leech will suck your blood until u die

Big brown ones have swamp disease.
