''Desert Leeches are creatures that burrow under the surface of the sand and leap out when they feel vibrations above them. These creatures have poor eyesight, so they depend on their sense of touch to find food. Desert Leches are the size of a squirrel and can drink up to two pints of a human's blood in under three minutes. These creatures secrete a special mucus that keeps the sand they burrow through from clinging to them. They also have small orifices underneath their bodies that produce a special type of acid to burn their enemies. This acid also serves as a pheromone for mating. The inside of a Desert Leech's mouth has four outward teeth, and three other rows of spiraling ones! This allows them to blend their food up and simply swallow, which is how they drink blood so quickly. A good way to ward off Desert Leeches is with ice, as the mucus that covers their body is susceptible to the cold and will freeze over quickly. Desert Leeches are nuisances to deal with, as they can drill through almost any type of stone, besides Bedrock and Obsidian. Tiny dangers that have the skill of killing, equivalent to an assassin. Very dangerous!''
