Chameleoleeches are identical to ordinary Giant Leeches, except that they have the ability to mimic the appearance of both living creatures and inanimate objects - a chest full of treasure, a person, a monster, and so on. The creature seems able to respond to its environment in some unknown way, adopting whatever form would make it seem most inconspicuous. Since the mimicry is purely illusory (affecting visual senses only), the change in appearance is instantaneous. Often, several of the creatures may lair together, forming a multiple illusion that is especially dangerous for the unwary. Note that a Chameleolecch cannot reproduce spell effects, speech, or special attacks. Illusions are limited in size to a minimum of one foot and a maximum of six.
Physique[]
Like Giant Leeches, Chameleoleeches are 1½ to 3 feet long, with a circular, toothed mouth.

Psychological Rules[]
Chameleoleeches fear fire, but are otherwise immune to all psychology rules.
Special Rules[]
Chameleoleeches attack by biting and, if the first attack causes any wounds, the creature's viciously-barbed teeth have taken hold and will continue to inflict damage automatically (no attack roll required, but roll for W as normal) until the leech is gorged (a result of 6 on 1D6 - check each round). There is a 40% chance that the bite of a Chameleoleech will cause infected wounds.
