Legend

this was a species of vicious, aggressive worm that was native to an unsettled world on the edge of the Kathol Sector. They fed primarily on the tirginni beast, and hunted by using their keen sense of feel to alert them to vibrations that indicating oncoming prey. These huge worms lived primarily underground, burrowing tunnels through dirt and soil which allowed them to reach various points on the surface. The mole serpent lurked below ground until it sensed the presence of prey, then swept out of its burrow to swallow its prey whole. The mole serpent moved through the ground by using a collection of large talons which studded its body, dragging itself forward through muscular contractions. The mouth of the mole serpent was formed from a fixed upper jaw and two lower mandibles, which were studded with huge fangs.
