About

The Leech is a parasitic invertebrate found in swamp and water environments. It attaches to players and creatures, draining health and potentially applying disease debuffs, which makes it a meaningful threat in areas where it spawns densely.

Admins can reference its entity ID Leech_Character_C to target it with creature-management commands, for example, to destroy all leeches in an area, force-tame one for testing, or adjust its spawn rates via config. Its name tag Leech is used when working with DestroyWildDinoClasses or similar commands.

Because the Leech is base-game content with no DLC requirement, it is present on any standard map that includes swamp biomes without needing additional content enabled on the server.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I spawn a Leech Creature at an exact level and position?
Run admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Leech/Leech_Character.Leech_Character'" 0 0 0 0. SpawnDino takes the full blueprint path followed by spawn distance, Y offset, Z offset and level, so you can place the Leech Creature precisely instead of dropping it on top of your character.
How do I spawn a wild Leech Creature?
Run cheat Summon Leech_Character_C in the admin console. Summon spawns a wild, untamed Leech Creature at your location. Use GMSummon instead if you want it pre-tamed.
How do I spawn the Leech Creature over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Send the same command through RCON or your control panel: admincheat Summon Leech_Character_C. Log in as admin first (enablecheats <AdminPassword>); if your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat".
