Kukuruto

Kukuruto is a swamp dweller creature native to the Ivory Kingdom peninsula. It's the size of a small dog, swims in murky water and uses it's lamprey like teeth to attach itself to a victim's skin and suck out it's blood. Kukuruto saliva contains an anti coagulant that means wounds inflicted by it's bite take much longer to heal and a victim may bleed out even if they kill the Kukuruto. Due to this and the fact they live in packs of 5 or 6, it's rare for a victim to survive a Kukuruto attack. Once a Kukuruto is satisfied with their meal, they bloat and swim to the bottom of the river to sleep for three or four days to digest all the blood.
Kukuruto saliva is smeared in arrows by the Ivory kingdom elephant archers to debilitate their enemies.
