Vyrm

== Overview ==
Vyrms are a type of earth Wyrm found in damp and moist areas of Soly, most notably brooding and thriving in the depths of Calamity Trees. They are, like most wyrms, Creations. The Vyrms are a recent evolutionary variation on the more voracious Wyrms formerly found throughout Soly in the times of the Pulsekaw.
== Description ==
Vyrms are typically small, no larger than a Human forearm with the exception of an enduring Queen. They are usually orange or pink in color, and have two bright, blind eyes on their primary end. Their diet consists of different kinds of soils, woods, and small parasites. This diet makes them perfect for Grovekeepers who need their plantlife free of such tiny destructive pests. Their Pulsefied bodies contaminate the soil they swallow with Pure Pulse, and when under stress or experiencing bouts of aggression, they will often vomit up this soil which is then classified as "Solyasoil". Vyrms aren't the only beings capable of producing solyasoil, but they are the most consistent and are sometimes harvested and farmed specifically for it.
Adult vyrms typically spend their entire lives in the dark, burrowing deep within the walls of a Calamity tree, or spent in the soil beneath Soly mindlessly eating away. The Queens however spend some of their lives in the light, preferring lighter enclosed areas to lay her eggs. The wyrms dwelling within Calamity Trees are usually born in the hollow rootspaces in the lighter areas of the tree, before spending the rest of their lives deeper in the dark.
Before current events, their Terror Level was set to a modest O+.
== Recent Changes ==
(Spoilers)
One of the recent Pulse Torches sent to materialize with Soly within the Calamity Tree was actually one which globally pacified all the vyrms in the world. With this Pulse now inactive and lost forever, vyrms everywhere have reverted back to their more prehistoric behavior of violence and reckless devouring. Calamity Soil - the rare sandlike soil found buried deep in the darker areas of a Calamity tree - has the power to pacify the vyrms to a degree. It is most effective when placed at the spot of their birth, so Grovekeepers like Gujum can essentially pacify an entire generation's worth of vyrms by simply maintaining Camality Soil in every rootspace.
The Lorekeeper openly speculated about the vyrm's new Terror Level, considering their nature had now changed forever. It was imagined this would land them around A+ with the recent developments.
Before the Pulse vanished, vyrms were mostly locked beneath the soil of Soly, and deep within the roots of Calamity Trees. Now, however, they have become ravenous and somewhat frenzied until pacified, daring to venture into the light of Soly's surface, and higher spaces of the Calamity Tree.
