Ecology and Background
Environment: Underground, Known to be found in the mines of Tintop Organization: solitary or cluster (2-5)

The tunnel worm is a burrowing creature related to the monstrous centipede. It is a very aggressive predator and hunter, though it can sustain itself by scavenging. Its preferred food is fresh, raw meat. Tunnel worms are very aggressive and attack anything that enters their territory.

Tunnel worms live in maze-like complexes of burrows connected by passages they have chewed out over time; these burrows are often filled with the rotting remains of past prey, used by the worm to incubate its offspring.

A typical tunnel worm is 30 feet long, but can grow to a length of 60 feet.
