Tree Leech

The Tree Leech, formerly known as Barnacle Sucker, is a type of life form belonging to the flora category. It is found growing on the side of Tree Mushrooms or on the caves' wall, serving purely as decorations.

At the moment, the Tree Leech can be harvested for Tree Mushroom Samples, by using the knife.
