The Leeching Dagger was a craftable Pre-Hardmode shortsword that was also dropped by The Hive Mind. Upon hitting an enemy with it, it would release leech orbs that homed in on other enemies, and upon impact, healed the player for 2 life. It functioned identically to the Bloody Rupture.

Like every shortsword, it had an incredibly short range, but unlike others, it swung automatically.

Its best modifier was Legendary.
