Bloedzuiger

From Witcher Wiki

Travelers crossing swamps can be sure to encounter both leeches and bloedzuigers. The latter also feed on blood, but their gullets are particularly large and their stomachs are filled with acid, so they suck and digest both their victims’ blood and intestines. Unlike leeches, bloedzuigers are rarely used in medicine.

[edit] Journal Entry

"The bloedzuiger, a grotesque monster from the swamps, causes terror among peasants because it pours digestive juices over the wounds of those who are still alive and then dines on their half-digested intestines."

[edit] Notes

• Geralt can loot Bloedzuiger remains for Albar's Crystals and Abomination Lymph without having journal entries for any of the three. However, the remains will not contain Bloedzuiger Blood without the entry.
• In Act II, the Old Brickmaker will speak to Geralt about mosquitoes, and a Raftsman at the Dike will speak to Geralt about a monster that sucked the life out of a man. Neither conversation updates the journal with Bloedzuiger entries, although both conversations seem to refer to these monsters.
• It is ill-advised to use finishers against bloedzuigers, as the player can't move before the finisher has been completely performed.
• Bloedzuiger is the Dutch word for leech, or translating the different parts of the word. Bloed means blood and zuiger means sucker, so a blood sucker. Its appearance and description is also hints to the origin of the word.
