The Giant Leech is a particularly loathesome beast that lives mostly in free water, but also inhabits marshes and other damp environments. Like its smaller brethren, the Giant Leech feeds upon the blood of other animals, gorging itself and then dropping free of its victim. If the creature scores a wounding blow, it is successfully attached and then causes one W per round, irrespective of modifiers. The Leech can be removed physically - but this causes a further D4-1 W. A more practical way is to apply heat or oil, which will cause the animal to drop away.

None.
Psychological Traits[]
Leeches fear fire, but are otherwise immune to all psychology rules.
Special Rules[]
Leeches have a bite attack until they take hold. They then cause W automatically until they are gorged (a result of 6 on 1D6 - check each round) or killed. Their bite has a 40% chance of causing infected wounds.
