Venus mouth

Venus mouth (Common Myth)

Category: Teeth/Jaw

 A mythical trait where the standard leech mouth is split into quadrants, each lined with sharp teeth, and is named for being reminiscent of carnivorous plants. 

This is the only mouth type trait where a leech has small individually-set teeth instead of plates, and as such, cannot be combined with other types.
On occasion, a leech with this trait may have only the upper or lower jaw split, rather than both, resulting in three sections instead of four. 

Leeches exhibiting this trait can easily fit the four segments of their mouth around a hare or turkey, and just as easily snap them shut around a human head, taking it clean off a body.  It is considered a dangerous trait to work with if the leech has an unpleasant temperament, though this hasn't stopped breeders from trying to incorporate it into vibrant plant themed show-creatures with varying degrees of success.
