Clamp leeches are a species native to Antallos. The shape and size of a stick of gum (i.e. roughly thumb-sized), they dig into a victim's flesh with amazing strength to suck blood. Their saliva, which prevents clotting, also causes severe pain. They can easily bite through normal clothing, and take a little longer to burrow through tougher materials such as leather or a flak vest.[1]
On Antallos, paper boxes containing clamp leeches and a small compressed-air charge are used in a fashion similar to grenades.[1]
