Leech men are humanoid versions of the common leech and a species of unremarkable animal people, found in savage pools and lakes. They are a bit over half the size of dwarves when adults and spawn in groups of 1-5 individuals. They have no legs and move about by crawling. They will automatically suck blood out of enemies on successful bite attacks.

Like other savage animal people, leech men may occasionally join civilizations, becoming full-fledged citizens, who may appear in your fortress as visitors, or be playable in adventurer mode.

Some dwarves like leech men for their feeding habits.

Trivia[edit]

  • Leech men have no legs using ANIMAL_PERSON_LEGLESS template, but the sprite depicts them with humanoid legs.
Three times the size, three times the hunger.

One of the more evil residents of savage lakes, leech men have been proven quite a challenge to kill, even by the most skilled dwarven leech hunters.
