Leech

The Leech is a new strain of Chimera that appears in Resistance 2.

These bipedal creatures pulse with highly toxic and explosive blood. Their sole purpose is to kill their prey by rushing at them in a kamikaze run and self-exploding on contact. Their thin hides make them easy to take down with any standard firearm; however, they can sprint across great distances in seconds, which makes shooting them at close range a deadly proposition.

Leeches may be created in the same manner as Grims, as they lack a cooling unit (although they aren't designed to be permanent soldiers anyway) and are a relatively new strain of Chimera.

Resistance 3
In the Resistance 3 Creeping Death Trailer in 1:26 an image appears in which a strain appears with strong resemblance to the Leech.

Trivia

 * The Leech multiplayer skin can be unlocked by reaching level 30 in Online Competitive Mode - albeit without it's explosive volatility, unless you decide to use the overload berserk, which has the same effect.


 * The Leech has the same basic function as the Boilers or Hags from Resistance: Retribution, as they run and explode on contact.
