Mevar Core Worms

Deep earth dwelling predators of the world of Mevar.

Basic Discription

Created by Mishhuvurthyar to create tunnels allowing the Mishu to easily have access to resources to be mined.

Most mature specimens are about 12 meters long, with a bulge in the middle of 3 meters. Its beaks are 1.5 to 2 meters.

It has a long cylinder-shaped body, coming to a pointed tail at the rear, the front capped with a four segmented beak. Each of the for beaks pull back for the beast to ingest their food. As it travels under the ground, its beaks are pressed shut giving it a sharp hardened front that allows for it to wiggle and dig its way through the soft ground. Its fleshy outer skin is rough, almost akin to hardened leather, colorized in a dark gray-tan with bright yellow stripping. They have no eyes; they hunt via a form of sonar.

Using its muscular body to worm their way along tunnels, they form the tunnels with acidic saliva they drool out of their beaks. As the soil is dissolve the beaks push out pressing the liquid dissolved mess to the edges of the tunnel letting the Core Worm to move forward.

Habitat

Second continent of the planet Mevar, they normally inhabit the planes and the shallow loose soils of the mountain passes. They only come to the surface once every few years to hunt for food, before returning to deep strata near the planet's crusts to stay warm and breed.

Diet

When they come to the surface they eat everything from plant life, to any and all animals they can stalk. using tunnels mere inches from the surface, they ambush from beneath attacking and dragging their unknowing prey below.
