Cud Worms

Worms with cow teeth that live in the leaf layer between the Abyssal and Twilight layers. Eats in an a-typical method more like a thrusting spear, rather than a consistent, consumption down a hole, like most worms. Has a tough hide (for a burrowing creature) and can grow to surprising lengths. It is theorized that without these worms, the Abyssal and part of the twilight layers would be an impassable tangle of vines, branches, and other plants.

What is it known to do? Burrow through the leaf layers between the abyssal and twilight layer, rearing back and then ramming its head into the leafy matter.

What is it known for? Cud Worm holes are an important way to traverse between the twilight and abyssal layer for animals and halflings.
