Ghastly Leech

The Ghastly Leech is an enemy in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. It is a giant and fanged leech-like monster that inhabits poisonous swamps.
==Description==
Giant leeches that suddenly leap out from poisonous marshlands. They can be encountered in Belasco and Joma marshes. Their main purpose is to obstruct Simon's path while he's traversing a poisonous swamp and in a hurry to reach safe ground. They can often be found along with Mudmen.
There is concept art for a creature like this one for Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse that never made it in the game depicted in the Castlevania Anniversary Collection. It was called "Toothy Slime" and was intended to be in the Forest stage. It would walk and jump toward the player, and bite them and suck out their health.
