Carrion Worms make their homes in dark, dank forest floors or in caves, typically near ancient ruins as it often means a reliable stream of adventurers to feast upon. They will feed on any creature that they can subdue, shredding it apart with their conical mouths lined with spirals of barbed teeth. Carrion Worms will then coat the bones of their prey with their saliva and plaster these bones to their hides. Carrion Worms sometimes use their saliva to embalm humanoid limbs, which they attach to their bellies and use to scuttle more quickly through their domain.
