This creature, as you've probably guessed, is a leech of large size. It featured in the beliefs of the Cherokee. They said it had red and white stripes. Apparently, it ensnared its prey by shooting a jet of water at it, causing it to fall into the river. This was the Valley River in North Carolina. A possible attack on two Cherokee women was recorded in 1835.
Any further information on this creature would be welcome.
