Rules-as-written, Leech works on anything the referee defines as "alive".

Rules-as-intended, I do believe Kromm has posted something about it being intended to work on targets with IQ 1 or higher and that if we wanted it to work on IQ 0 targets we could flip that as a zero-cost feature (which stops it from working on IQ 1+ targets) or a +100% modifier (which lets it work on both). I vaguely recall something about a modifier to make it work on non-living targets instead / as well ...

I'd suggest searching the forums.

I'd price that as a -20% Accessibility modifier.
