Leech Swarm
A writhing mass of bloated leeches moving as one hungry entity.
Hundreds of glistening black bodies slide over one another in a grotesque living carpet. Each leech pulses with stolen blood, their circular mouths opening and closing in eerie synchrony. The swarm moves with surprising coordination, drawn by the scent of warm-blooded prey. Swamp folk say if you stand still long enough, you'll become part of the bog yourself.
