Remove it with an argentavis or jump on fire

If you have a leech attached to your tame on mobile, there should be a grab button when you look at the tame. Press that button and the leech will basically just disappear.

jump to fire to get rid of it, or jump to lava

The ones that are brown are “diseased “ and will give you swamp fever.

Hello everyone i think this is important how to escape to this creature if you hit by this creature it will suck your blood but you can kill him without using materials you only need to built a campfire light up the campfire and get in the fire to kill the leech but make sure you have a lot of health so you won’t die i guess you guys understand me and thank you guys for reading it if this tip got 30 i will tell about how to tame raptors

These are so annoying I try starting on any map there is always someone running around spreading swamp fever

If you have a freind you can smack each other with a torch

To Get rid of it you have stand on top of a lit camp fire and it will fall off and die but you will not see the corpse

I had a leech stuck on me and I couldn’t get it off even using fire from a cooking pot, campfire or a forge.

Be careful if you see a red leech. It is diseased and will give you a debuff which reduces health, stamina, speed and some others. the way to cure it is with lesser antidote

Jump in a fire to kill the leech

They can latch onto pretty much all creatures if you get one when mounted on a dino make sure to check if the dino has the leech before setting yourself on fire chances are you don't have the leech your tame does

I ensure my raft has a campfire and fuel. Just be sure to watch your screen, I sometimes don't notice they got me until way too late!

When in the swamp be wary of small moving organisms they are not as big as they seem

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

Mobile players only:

Leeches are super rare and I'm pretty sure swamp fever isn't a thing (not 100%). If you get butted you need to jump into a campfire and for tames you can just use the grab option to remove them

The Dex said that they drop megalania kibble 😕?
