Leech

Information

This bloodsucking leech is approximately 20 centimeters in length. Dr. Marcus, discoverer of the progenitor virus, selectively bred this creature, provoking in it sudden evolutionary changes preyiously unthinkable in an annelid. It has an eye- like receptor device within its flat body, enabling it to act as a conglomeration despite being a lower 'life form. It consumes human flesh by attaching its enlarged mouth to prey, and in groups it can kill a human being in a matter of minutes. Additionally, due to the extremely high concentration of T-Virus within the leech's body cavity, the possibility of turning the victim into a zombie is extraordinarily high.

This creature is the mutated form of the Queen Leech that controls all mutated leeches. It typically takes the form of a young Dr. Marcus, but breaks this mold to become its first transfigured form. It possesses extremely high intelligence, and it thinks and acts just like Dr. Marcus, who was assassinated 10 years ago. It even has the ability to speak. This surprising phenomenon was made possible by the Queen Leech entering the remains of Dr. Marcus and merging with his DNA over such a long period of time.

Ten years have passed since the fusion sparked by the T-Virus. During that time, the bodily tissue was transformed, allowing it to reach its ultimate form. As the name Queen Leech implies, it reigns over countless mutated leeches, which it commands at its whim. Upon sighting an enemy, it will attack with whip-like appendages formed out of leeches.

If the Queen Leech senses bodily harm, it will cease restraining its natural functions and will mutate into its second form. It merges with all surrounded leeches, and uses them as an energy source to multiply its own cells. This process rearranges the structure of its first form and completely reforms damaged sections. The mass of the second form is many tens of times greater than the first. Its great size and appearance makes it seem primitive and extremely grotesque.
