They prefer to eat prey when it is still alive, chewing their way through the body until the victim finally dies. They usually hunt in large groups, attacking animals much bigger than themselves. Sewer worms are extremely aggressive predators. Females are far larger, appearing to be about the size of the largest constrictor snakes. Males are small creatures, ranging from a few inches long during infancy to a maximum of about four feet. Sewer worms are eusocial, like ants or termites, and are highly sexually dimorphic. The sewer worms' most remarkable trait is their coloration - they are a fluorescent green or purple that almost appears to glow. Their mouths contain a dense battery of razor-sharp backward-facing teeth, which they use to tear off bite-sized clumps of flesh and push them down their throats. Sewer worms superficially resemble snakes, but show lizard-like traits on closer inspection.
