Giant Leeches are enemies in Dark Souls.
Location[]
They are found along the corners of Blighttown's Poison Swamp, opposite of Quelaag's Domain. They mainly surround the tree that contains the entrance to The Great Hollow.
Description[]
Giant Leeches are somewhat passive creatures, some not even bothering to attack the player unless they do so first. They navigate through the poison slowly and can charge at the player or spit at them with poison globules.
Unless a large number of them charge the player all at once, their potential danger to the player is minimal.
