The Thoth Leech is an animal found on Thoth, they are similiar to the Giant Sand Leech in appearance, having a worm-like body and six teeth. Except for the fact that they are colored white and are electric, as seen with electric particles coming off of them. Unlike the Giant Sand Leech, their teeth are instead more concentrated inwards and face eachother, instead of facing outwards.
The Thoth Leech is related to the Giant Sand Leech, hence their similiarity to them. They were, infact, Giant Sand Leeches themselves, but after the Galileans took the Leeches and performed experiments on them (which failed), they were left mutated and stranded on the dwarf planet Thoth, in the Proxima Centauri System.[1]
The Thoth Leech is able to survive extremely harsh conditions, somewhat similiar to the Giant Sand Leech, such as no oxygen, freezing temperatures and extreme radiation. This is proven due their existence on Thoth, as it is has no atmosphere to contain heat or oxygen, and no strong known magnetic field to block itself from radiation from Proxima Centauri.
It was added in Release 21 Prerelease 5.
Gameplay[]
The Thoth Leeches spawn naturally on Thoth, They have a ranged attack in which if a Ship comes near them or comes in contact with them, it deals an electric shock which can go from minor damage to the player, to insta kill.
It is still uncertain how the Thoth Leech can be killed, but it's likely similiar to the Giant Sand Leech, in which it is hit by parts/debris a number of times or shot with turrets until it dies. Once death occurs, the body begins rotting, and it will then eventually despawn.
When the Thoth Leech is killed, the player can retrieve an organic Ball of Lightning from them, which if the player has 3 of, the player can return them to Klein on Khnemu to obtain an Untranslated Alien Processor.
