Vampires are sometimes referred to as leeches because they are believed to suck blood like leeches do. Additionally, leeches are parasitic creatures that feed off others, similar to how vampires feed off human blood according to folklore and mythology. The term "leech" also conveys the idea of something that drains resources or energy, which aligns with the traditional characteristics of vampires.
