This curious creature resembles nothing so much as a large, fat, and somewhat oily maggot. It has no eyes and its other senses are only rudimentary. What material food it requres is absorbed directly through the skin, waste products being excreted in the same way. Sunworms are adapted to feed directly upon solar energy and their skins act as living photo-electric cells. In daylight, the creature lies partly in direct light and partly in shadow; a considerable charge of electricity is built up and this enables the creature to survive the hours of darkness.

- The Sunworm is a mutated maggot grown fat and oily with the power of Chaos. Unlike their natural kin, these creatures lack mouths and feed by rubbing their bodies against their meals and excreting their wastes through their pale, segmented hides. Strangely, these creatures supplement their diet by devouring sunlight. During the day, their undulating bodies writhe in the delicious energy cast by the sun. As a result of this light, they build up a charge of energy that allows them to survive through the dark hours. This energy can also be used defensively. If a creature comes within a yard of a Sunworm, the creature reflexively releases a jolt of powerful energy. Sunworms can grow as large as six feet in length.

| - This curious creature resembles nothing so much as a large, fat, and somewhat oily maggot. It has no eyes and its other senses are only rudimentary. What material food it requres is absorbed directly through the skin, waste products being excreted in the same way. Sunworms are adapted to feed directly upon solar energy and their skins act as living photo-electric cells. In daylight, the creature lies partly in direct light and partly in shadow; a considerable charge of electricity is built up and this enables the creature to survive the hours of darkness. Sunworms also employ their store of electric power for their defence. Small Sunworms can only deliver a weak charge, but a fully-grown worm can easily kill a large animal, such as a Human. Fortunately, Sunworms are not aggressive and will only deliver electric shocks to other creatures coming within a foot of them; this is a reflex response and the creature has no actual control over the attack. It gets one attack for each full foot of length.

Sunworms are blessedly rare, contained to the deserts of Khemri and the Chaos Wastes. The Empire’s climate does not lend itself to these foul creatures. Still, some cultists use these creatures to eliminate rivals or particularly troublesome Witch Hunters.
