Energy leech (species)


 * The energy leech is a form of alien wildlife.

Energy leeches are nasty little nightcrawlers which are exactly what their name describes: giant leeches that feed on energy. They are known to inhabit planets populated by sentient robots, as they are quite good at sucking energon directly from the circuits of unsuspecting robot life, and are generally found in underground caverns and corridors.

The energy leeches are encountered on the planet Chaar and in the underground tunnels of Cybertron.
