The Blood Limpet (Salirius Hirudo Proserpina) is a blood-sucking quasi-reptile species native to the swamps of Proserpina.

Description

Appearance

The blood limpet's skin is a hard, gray-greenish shell with bright orange stripes. An average specimen is around one meter long (including its tail), with a height of 24 centimeters. They weigh between one and eight kilograms and can move surprisingly fast on their six legs.[citation needed]

Lifestyle

Lives in the swamps and rivers near the equator of Proserpina where it dwells for hours at a time waiting to strike out at any potential prey. Its jaw has the strength to rip cloth and flesh in order to get to the blood where it can suck out as much as a liter of blood.[1]

Blood limpets are a lone wolf creature which does not claim territory from other limpets. This makes it possible for for a traveler to come across more than one in a single location.[1]
