The Challenger Worm is an unnamed invertebrate creature native to the ocean planet Challenger.
Biology[]
A large earthworm that when stretched at full length, the creature would be at least a meter long. According to scientists, the worms produce a fluid which may hold the key for fighting several illnesses. Though terrestrial animals, they were aquatic animals, and preferred the sanctuary of seawater. They had an incredible immune system, one that was resistant somewhat to the poison of the Challenger Cephalopod. When exposed to poison their circulatory system fought back, which kept them alive for the next few minutes, whereas most other creatures would already be dead. Though they could survive being poisoned by excreting out the poison via white and purple foam.
