Neck cilia: trimmings from 2 dollar store jellyfish

Cranial tentacles and tongue: trimmings from GID Safari Ltd. Jellyfish


From the files of Joh Kolton, Adventure Team Commander:

"Giant leeches can be found in caves across the whole of Tolkien III. They range in size from .25m to 9m in length and come in several radically different appearing subspecies.

Giant leeches attack their prey and drain them of blood for nourishment. The smaller subspecies tend to attack in groups or swarms and can overwhelm a standard sized sentient with ease. The larger subspecies tend to be solitary, able to capture prey on their own due to their larger size and strength.

Some subspecies use bioluminescence to lure in prey, possessing tentacles, cilia and even tongues that emit their own light in the dark realms in which they live.

Some of the largest subspecies build nests of their own mucus deep in the darkest, dankest caves. They remain enshrouded in these cocoons, lying in wait for hapless animals or adventurers to stumble upon them, luring them in with their bioluminescent appendages. These large specimens could be thousands or solar years old as giant leeches have long life spans unless they are killed by questing heroes."
