Gorgon Worms

Humanity first discovered the species later known as Gorgon Worms in the year 2387, on the fertile moon Eribus. the species grows to roughly 10ft tall when extended to their full length , they can live for up to 200 earth years and possess the equivalent intellect of a 9 year old child. the species got its name from their lamp like eyes that detect heat as well as light allowing the creature to literally see through solid matter, the males of the species use their talons to burrow and dig nest bellow the ground, while the females possess a second brain on their backs, that allows telepathic communication to other nearby females. fortunately for the settlers on Eribus the species is not easily aggravated content to extract minerals from the soil as nutrients and allowing the human colonies to be built above ground.
