Vermiform

"Oh, worm?"
Vermiform is a meta-trait meaning "worm-like". It is used for long, limbless creatures, such as snakes, worms, and eels. Some creatures, such as frogs, have a vermiform tadpole stage.
Vermiform: Double-Jointed [15]; No Legs (Slithers) [0]; and No Manipulators [-50]. -35 points.
== Unwritten Advantages ==
As their bodies are usually long but slender, vermiform creatures can slither into smaller spaces. This allows snakes to hunt rodents, eels to hide in reefs, and provides a relatively low-drag body for worms when digging through the earth. For a true worm, add No Neck.
== Vermiform Hit Table ==
If you're making a ranged attack on a snake, giant eel, purple worm, etcetera, here's a useful hit-location table!
