Alien lifeforms (part 2)


What are those strange, feathery worm-like things floating in the air, drifting towards you? Quick, turn off your engines and any other electrical device in the area because those are Ectrobranchia, a species of helium-filled feather worms that are drawn to electrical fields. They'll not only cause your vehicles to malfunction, but they can deliver a powerful shock to anyone nearby. If these flying electric eel imposters weren't enough of a problem, there's another type of worm that can pose a much bigger problem—the Steglar Worm. These gigantic, subterranean burrowers can spit a scalding substance similar to magma, though victims most die after being rammed by these aggressive predators. Above ground and underground, worms have managed to adapt to and spread across various environments. Though they behave on instinct alone, these creatures can be a deadly nuisance to settlers, miners, terra-formers, and anyone else that happens to venture onto their worlds.
