Worm: Difference between revisions

The Worms are a parasitic species, entering into symbiotic relationships with other sentient races in order to amass greater power for themselves. As larvae, they can inhabit the bodies of other beings, such as those of their servant race the Hive, and "feed" off the power acquired by their hosts through following the Sword-Logic. Worm larvae are pale and about a meter in length, with rounded heads, six short spines on their back, and two spines at the end of their tail.

As adults, Worms can reach tremendous size; Xol, the first of the five Worm Gods encountered by the Guardians, was hundreds of meters in length, and the size of the Dreadnaught suggests that Akka (one of whose segments was used by Oryx to craft his flagship) was orders of magnitude larger. Fully grown worms are covered with segmented plates and numerous spines, and have heads with six barbed mandibles surrounding glowing eye-like structures.  

Notably, the Worm God Yul describes himself as having wings, while Xol is not seen to possess wings when encountered on Mars. This may suggest that only the largest and most powerful Worms possess wings, as Xol is implied to have been the least powerful of the Worm Gods.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46779 '''Bungie''': ''Destiny 2 Narrative Preview'']</ref>
