Golden Cicada continued, "These Bloodthirsty Mist-Eating Worms are enormous and tenacious. They may be insects, but their bodies have formidable defenses. They live in colonies, with their Lair deep in the Red Smoke Marsh. And because this is a swamp, the moment they sense danger, they burrow into the mire. They're hard to kill!"
