Jungle Leech

Jungle Leeches are a new type of exclusive to the Downpour DLC. Their gimmick is being able to withstand staying out of water for a longer period of time before drying up. They appear to reside in overgrown regions similar to the environment of a jungle.

Description
Jungle Leeches are long, dark greenn tubular creatures, possessing a powerful suction cup like mouth to latch onto its prey. Once latched on, they use their body to weigh them down until the creature drowns.

Abilities & Behavior
When their prey is in the presence of a body of water occupied with Jungle Leeches, they will hastily react and lunge towards them, attempting to latch onto their prey. When out of water, they can last up for a very long period of time, even after darkening their color. This process can be sped up with a "pop" close by that can remove the Jungle Leech from the creature's body.

Strategy
Like the other leeches, using  to dodge by jumping and using its high speed underwater is a reliable and convenient way to avoid them. There are other alternatives, like using already dead creatures to distract the leeches and snails to knock them out for a short period of time.
