Slamworm[1][2] is the Nemetrix's DNA sample of a Slammoid from the planet Poiana Lüncas.

Slamworm's species is the predatory species of Talpaedans.

Appearance[]

Slamworm is a giant worm-like alien with sharp teeth, six red eyes, a wide grey beak-like mouth, and a tail ending in a pincer like a set of spikes. Slamworm possesses a creamy orange and brown hide, a white-brown underbelly, grey spikes running down her back, and four red insectoid legs on each side near the front.

Slamworm wears a red spiked collar with the Nemetrix on it.

Powers and Abilities[]

Slamworm can spit multiple balls of acid from her mouth at a rapid pace to dissolve the metal bodies of Talpaedans so that they are easier to consume.[DJW 1]

Like the Talpaedans it feeds on, Slamworm is a skilled burrower, able to tunnel through almost any surface at remarkable speed and can sprout anywhere she wants at a fast rate.

Slamworm's beak is able to find the joints in a Talpaedan's armor where it can be pried open.[DJW 1]

Slamworm possesses sharp teeth as well as enhanced strength and durability.
