i made it for sole purpose of playing with it in Adventure mode, but it can't attack anything right now.
Point out what am i doing wrong please.

You'd probably be better off copying a preexisting creature that's similar to the creature you want to make, then adding and removing tags as you see fit. Making entire new creatures from scratch is often a waste of time unless you want to make something completely different from anything already in the raws.

[Protactinium]

I have never made a creature from 'scratch' and put in every single required tag myself, so you should wait until someone who has gives you a proper answer, but I have made all my creatures by copying an animal that I feel has most of the tags I intend my creature to have, and then rename or edit sizes and such.

If you want to make a giant enemy crab, copy a large creature, give increase its [DAMBLOCK] number to represent its shell, increase the numbers in the [ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE...] section, etcetera. Make little changes that you think won't break it first.

[Kiberkiller]

I've started on my first creature, read OP please and tell me my mistakes, thank you.

Try adding these at the bottom of creature_leecher.txt

[Kiberkiller]

I've modded my creature some more, now it's a humanoid with six tentacles instead of arms, at the end of the each tentacle there is a claw and "mouth" that it's supposed to feed on other creatures with.

You're welcome to point out any errors i've made.

Another question, is it possible to make creature do several attacks at once? for example i want the  Leecher to try to latch all six tentacles at once.

[Kiberkiller]

Also another question, why doesn't "Suck Blood" Special attack doesn't work in adventure mode? i didn't notice any heavy bleeding when i latch to my enemies.

[Evil One]

I think the Suck Blood special only works for NPC's.

[Kiberkiller]

Damn, i thought that it would be so cool to be able to heal yourself in combat.
