Conduit Worm

== Conduit Worm ==
Conduit worms are parasitic worms native to the planet Coruscant that feed on electricity. They absorbed components as they grew along the ecumenopolis' electrical conduits, turning them into organs. The worms could grow hundreds of meters long, infesting electrical power cable wiring in the Coruscant Underworld and feeding off starship power. The name "conduit worm" could also be used as an insult, akin to calling someone a "little parasite."
== Biology and appearance ==
Conduit worms fed off the electricity of buildings and starships. These parasitic worms absorbed components, such as batteries, as they grew along electrical conduits, which were then turned into organs. They had eye threads and resistor segments, capacitor beads to store energy extending from core segments. However, the creatures had no discernible head, body, or tail structure. A conduit worm's feeler threads could grow hundreds of meters long, and mouth cups often grew at their ends. They had grey-and-brown skin and black eyes.
== Behavior ==
Conduit worms were known to sneak aboard ships and eat their electrical wiring while the vessel was still in flight. They were considered equally as destructive as stone mites. In extreme circumstances, when hungry, a conduit worm could attempt to burrow into the head of a humanoid through their ears to feed off its electrical impulses.
