A horrifying blood-sucking parasite, the '''Tentacle Leech''' can be found wherever there are '''Ravesharks'''.
 
Tentacle Leeches evolved from a species of slug-like leech that attached to many aquatic species, especially the Ravesharks. After feeding on, and being eventually eaten by, their Raveshark hosts, a chance mutation making the leech's ancestors "taller" with longer tentacles proved to be a vital change for the species. While many of their cousins continued their normal way of life (and these eventually became the ''Slugiformes'', see the entry for: [[Triumph_of_Spring_(Fortune:_Evolution_Game)#Rock Slug|Rock Slugs]]), the new, longer, taller leeches began infiltrating the Raveshark's tentacles, latching on to them at their base, gorging on blood until the tentacle withers away, and then the leech takes its place, eventually fusing its body into the shark's as it uses its twin tentacles to feed the rave shark and its durable rocky shell to protect from its host's ravenous maw. The hosts appear either to not notice or not care about the replacement of a few tentacles in this manner.

The anonymous poster who created the Tentacle Leech has stated that this creature was inspired by a real-world parasite called the  [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cymothoa_exigua tongue louse] (''Link not recommended for the squeamish'').

There are a number of species of Tentacle Leeches adapted for particular breeds of Ravesharks, with bioluminescent spots simulating the 'light show' of the sharks.
