Dire Leech
The dire leeches were an ancient species native to Earth. It is unknown when they came about, although they were already present across the globe when Allah first arrived on the planet 300 million years ago. It is speculated that they are the only truly native form of life to the planet.
History
Very little is known about the dire leeches before Allah's arrival on earth. Presumably they had existed for some time prior, but the exact timeline is a complete mystery. At some point after Allah's arrival it is known that Isengriff and Unga Bunga came into contact with a leech due to their use of time travel. They killed the first leech, but after Isengriff left Unga Bunga in the past to die it is assumed that she was eventually killed by the creatures. Some time not long after these events, Allah would decide that the leeches were too horrible to allow to live. By methods unknown he purged them from the planet. Only a few small ones would survive and go on to evolve into the smaller leeches we know and hate today.Basic Information
Anatomy
The dire leeches were in appearance similar to leeches for the most part, although they had short legs which allowed them to move on land. They were about the height of a tall man with long necks and tails. Most of their body was a sickly pale color, although the area around their toothy mouths was a sickly red.
Genetics and Reproduction
Better not to think about it.
Dietary Needs and Habits
It is unknown what the leeches fed on, since there are no other known species from the time period they lived in. It can be presumed that they were carnivorous, however.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Lacking eyes, these creatures had to rely on advanced hearing and other senses not fully understood in order to hunt their prey.
