hirudinal (hir-oo-DIN-ee-uhl) or hirudinean (hir-oo-DIN-ee-uhn) or hirudine (hir-oo-DEEN) - adj., of, relating to, or resembling a leech; bloodsucking.


I dare and double-dare with a cherry on top the writer of a bog-standard urban fantasy, any urban fantasy, to have the spunky heroine slag off a vampire and include calling it hirudinal. Double-dast dare. Not very common, thus the plethora of forms that have not yet been standardized, but all from Latin hirūdō, leech.
