Worm that Walks

The Worm that Walks is an fictional entity created Sandy Petersen for Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu horror role-playing game. It made its first appearance in the 1982 campaign supplement Shadows of Yog-Sothoth. A variation on the creature exists in Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder, inspired by "The Festival".
==Description ==
The Worm that Walks is an entity that appears as a rotting human corpse, but can disguise itself as any human. It has the ability to siphon the energy from those who interact with it.
The D&D and Pathfinder version of the Worm that Walks is a wizard whose mind has been absorbed into the worms that fed on their corpse. Appearing human at first glance, underneath its clothes it is actually an enormous mass of worms squirming together in the shape of a human, with a single mind controlling all of them. A Worm that Walks retains all its memories and magical abilities from its human life.
