Scientific name: ''Hydridae phytohabitans'' | |||
The Leech Hydroe is an inoffensive creature that appears only in the final cutscene of the game, after beating the final boss. It is a parasite that steals the nutrients from the creature it's living in, forcing the host to always search food. This green and translucid creature stands on six legs, and has some kind of antenna at the top of its body. | The Leech Hydroe is an inoffensive creature that appears only in the final cutscene of the game, after beating the final boss.

The name may also be a play on the prefix "hydro-", referring to the creature's watery appearance. | ||
