Description
Fearsome predatory beast, Clawleech—sometimes called mantisleech for the way they keep their front limbs tucked under their heads as they wait for food—hunt from ambush, taking prey by surprise and draining it for blood with its large circular mouth, full of rows of sharp teeth. The clawleech dosn't have eyes or a nose, and therefore rely on its echo location, in the same way bats do.
