Giant bloodworms were large sanguivores that resembled a giant earthworm.[1][2]
Description[]
Giant bloodworms had spotted dark green, slimy skin and a dark brown underbelly. They typically measured 20 feet (6.1 meters) in length.[1][2] In the dimlight of their underground habitats, they could often be mistaken by other creatures for a moss-covered boulder.[2]
Biology[]
Giant bloodworms propelled their bodies along the ground of their watery habitats, being incapable of swimming.[1][2]
They were particularly vulnerable to fire.[1][2]
Combat[]
If hungry or provoked, a giant bloodworm attacked by attempting to affix its mouth to a target. Once attached the worm would continue to suck blood from its victim until it was satiated, the victim died, or it was dislodged.[1][2]
History[]
In 1357 DR, giant bloodworms could occasionally be found in the sewers beneath Waterdeep.[3]
