Leech (Enemy)

55.0

This article is about the monster. For the item, see Leech.

The Leech is a type of monster. Similar to Chargers, if Isaac lines up with a Leech horizontally or vertically, the Leech will quickly charge towards him. Leeches can be quite dangerous due to their ability to fly over any obstacles and charge very quickly, along with their tendency to spawn in large groups.

Variations

Kamikaze Leech

55.1
Chance to replace Leeches

The Kamikaze Leech is a black Leech with an eye in its mouth commonly found in Sheol. These behave similarly to Leeches but explode upon death.

Holy Leech

55.2
Chance to replace Leeches

The Holy Leech is a white Leech with an eye in its mouth commonly found in the Cathedral. These behave similarly to Kamikaze Leeches but have an Eternal Fly circling them. Because the Holy Leech explodes upon death, the Eternal Fly will die instantly and only serves to block projectiles.

Trivia

• The Leech's charging sound effect is, in reality, a man saying "EHHH" sped up. This can be revealed by listening to the attack sound of a Large Champion Leech.
