In the novel "It" by Stephen King, leeches symbolize Patrick Hockstetter's dark and twisted nature. He keeps a box of leeches as pets and uses them to torture animals, reflecting his cruel and sadistic personality. The leeches also serve as a metaphor for how Patrick drains the life and happiness out of those around him.
