Sparklewurms

Sparklewurms

Sparklewurms are a species of bobbitworm and velvetworm-like sapient deep-sea dwelling people who live along the ocean floor. They are must well known for cultivating a special species of bioluminescent moss that they eat to give themselves a variety of glowing colors, usually to express themselves. They also enjoy collecting things that fall to the ocean floor such as gems from shipwrecks, sparkly rocks, fangs, bones, and various other things which they use to decorate themselves and their homes. They make accessories out of their most favorite things and proudly wear them about to impress their friends and family!

They hunt much like our earth bobbitworms do, burying in the sand and lying in wait for a fish to come by at which they snatch it and a special poison present on their skin paralyzes their prey, which they bring back to butcher with their community! They can grow rather large and long but are still very diminutive compared to humans. They have soft and smooth velvet-looking skin with wicked fangs that hide inside their mouths until they're needed! They can usually be seen wearing their favorite bits of treasure along with seaweed-based clothing! They're also capable of using weapons but usually only use spears, knives, and swords made from deep sea minerals they find!
