Untold Ecology: Puke Worm

The puke worm is a creature ranging from the smallest at roughly a meter in length, to the largest recorded at twenty meters. The worm is segmented with a thin outer shell, with small hooked appendages that run the length of the creature, which aids it in locomotion. The creature’s coloring is off-white, with variations of browns and greens, darkest along its underbelly and almost white along its back. The natural camouflage is actually from stains that the beast gathers over time as it transverses the swamps that are its habitat. The head of the worm is a massive lamprey-like mouth, with circular rows of inward curving teeth, with two pair of flat, black eyes that sit back on top of the worms head. (more...)
