SWARM OF SAND LEECHES

Sand Leeches are small, worm-like creatures that live in swarms beneath the desert sands. They measure only a few inches long, with a slender body covered in a tough, scaly exoskeleton. Their coloration varies between shades of brown and tan, allowing them to blend in with the surrounding sand as they wait for their prey and feed on the blood of animals and travelers who cross their path. Their mouths are lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth, which they use to latch onto their victims and drain them of their vital fluids. They are not picky eaters and attack any creature they can overpower.

Sand leeches reproduce quickly, with females laying hundreds of eggs at a time. The young hatch within a few weeks and immediately begin hunting and feeding. The swarm remains together, working in concert to find and capture prey. While individual sand leeches are relatively weak, the swarm as a whole is a formidable opponent, capable of overwhelming even the most prepared adventurer.

Burrowers. The swarm can move through sand and dirt as easily as walking on a flat surface, allowing it to ambush unsuspecting prey.

Swarm Tactics. The sand leech swarm uses its large numbers to its advantage, completely engulfing its victims and draining their life force.
