Liver leeches are raised from freshly deceased bodies. They are small, silent, and easily hidden so they work well as early alarm systems or spies. While they are called liver leeches, this is somewhat of a misnomer. Once the ritual is done the host's liver, stomach, lungs, and heart become separate liver leeches, looking just like their respective organ but gaining large black bug-like eyes and many small suction cup-like feet. They also gain a small sharp mouth to defend themselves. The statistics of a liver leech do not change regardless of what organ it is spawned from. |
