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

Up if you think this should be removed

And stay away from the swamp

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

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♡

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.

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

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.

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

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.

If you find one and it gives a sickness DONT SOREAD IT make a lesser antidote just kill it get the blood get rare flowers and mushrooms if you spread it your a real douche. And you’ll get targeted on PVP

For those of you who think leeches aren’t in mobile you can find them in swamps I have seen three they are in the water you can see them going thru the ground if you get one stuck to you just build a campfire and stand on it!

Fire DOES still work on mobile (i literally just tried it when a leech was stuck on my chest)

i read that fire didn’t work and read that it sometimes does but i thought let me just try and it WORKED!

just make sure u have some fire pit built next to u on the swamp next time so u won’t waste time collecting wood and stone for one when while ur HP is dropping (specially mine was so low already cuz a sacro gave me a toothy kiss on the butt when i was busy collecting rare flower)

It doesn’t say it but there’s leeches in genesis bog biome, if there wasn’t enough problems there

Hello gguys if a leech attach to your dinos you can remove it without using fire and if you look to the icon on the top left like the icon hand tap it and the leech is of you dinos mounts or flyer so if u find this a useful tip to take off the leech and is less dangerous

Leeches make a very unique sound when swimming.

Once you learn to hear it, you can find leeches by stopping and listening for their approach
