A "parasitic" spelljammer, the Leech is little more than a Lifejammer helm fitted in a dome mounted to eight grappling legs, making it resemble a giant artificial tick. Leeches are used to subvert spacefaring beasts into living ships; they attach themselves to Gargantuan or bigger creatures capable of flight, if not spaceflight, and then paralyze them thanks to the venom coating the grappling limbs. The paralyzed creature is then helpless to stop the pilot from "steering" them through space, whilst also draining the beast's lifeforce for fuel. Leeches are usually found attached to [[krajen]], [[kindori]] or [[dragon]]s. 

The leech was initially used to run dispatches between neogi outposts, until a concerted assault by the elven fleet forced them to abandon the practice. The leech remained in use, however, and was typically used by rebel groups, rogue neogi and other unscrupulous individuals who needed to get somewhere quickly and did not want to take a ship.

Newly constructed leeches have begun appearing in the Known Spheres, and are used by the neogi and other evil creatures, both for communication and for smuggling. Neogi diplomats from a half-dozen spheres claim that they are not responsible, though they suggest that their less-moral kin may be tempted.

Some particularly desperate or depraved individuals, both neogi and non-neogi, have turned these ships into kamikaze weapons by filling them full of explosives or flammable substances like Alchemist's Fire.
