Groundworm

Groundworm is an earthworm Complien. It belongs to the Earth and Volt Elements.
==Appearance==
It looks like a brown worm with a skin of rubber insulation. It has a golden clitellum split into three. It has a head shaped like a square pyramid pointing inwards towards a golden disk.
==Information==
Groundworms are electrivores that prey mainly on electrees.
They feed by placing their head onto a negatively charged object like an electree, then using the electric potential difference between the object and the ground to draw electrons into the Groundworm. The electricity is processed and excreted as thermal energy. Groundworms can also build up a static charge by burrowing through the ground and consuming that, but this is generally a very inefficient process only used in emergencies.
Groundworms can only feed on exposed electricity, and are not a threat to power lines, transformers, or any other insulated object. However, downed power lines and other sources of stray voltage can lower the potential between an electree and the ground, inhibiting Groundworms' ability to draw electricity.
Additionally, Ampuffs and Amperiors, which have spread across Complanet due to urbanization, attract Groundworms, but are completely useless as a nutritional source due to their unpredictable charges. Groundworms can only feed on negative charges, but the triboelectric charging of Ampuffs and Amperiors randomly charges their fur positively and negatively.
These two factors have led to a decline in Groundworm populations. They are now classified as endangered.
A colony of Groundworms is maintained in Scienceburg in an electree orchard. Advanced Complien-6306 also lives there.
===Habitat===
They are found in Complanet where electrees are found.

==Origin==
Some insights on 's origins.
===Name===
Its name is a portmanteau of "earthworm" and "ground".
===Design===
It is based on an earthworm, a wire, electrical circuit symbols, and the Loch Ness Monster.
==Trivia==
*They reproduce by transferring gametes through their clitella.
