OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Genetically altered by the Bloodscrawl Medical Corporation, Kytrand Worms are highly valuable and potentially dangerous as a species, producing a variety of silks depending on the plant fed to them, their diet occasionally making themselves a food source to others. Created before the Gulag Era, these worms have a harmonious existence with Kytrand's plant systems: On any other world they become ravenous in the extreme, leading many to suspect the corporation developed them to double as a weapon when the situation called for it.

- Name: Kytrand Silk Worm
- Designation: Non Sentient
- Origins: Kytrand
- Average Lifespan: An Average Worm can live 20 years, and produce plenty of silk
- Estimated Population: Planetary: These worms are found normally only on Kytrand but can be transplanted elsewhere in limited fashion
- Description: Starting out as larvae, they mature in a month or less to fat worms the thickness of an average thumb
- Breathes: Type 1
- Average Height of Adults: 1 centimeter
- Average Length of Adults: 3-4 centimeters
- Skin color: White
- Hair color: none
- Distinctions: A simple, shiny looking white worm about the size and length of an average human thumb. The worms asexually reproduce every two years until their death, growing a few sacs that store larvae that eventually fall off them and hatch. Reproduction is preceded by a higher consumption of vegetation than normal. They are uniformly one color in any region
- Races: N/A
- Force Sensitivity: Non-Sensitive
- Sericulture Friendly: The worms show evidence of being genetically altered to be more friendly to silk harvesting, growing faster, lasting longer, and producing high quality silk more frequently
- Extreme herbivore: The alterations mean the worm is capable of surviving on virtually any form of plant life, the powerful enzymes in it's digestive tract capable of stomaching even solid wood
- Vibrancy: The Silk it produces is always high quality and may bear energy resistant properties depending on what it was fed prior to producing silk. Many varieties of silk can be produced from these worms
- Hardy: The worms are extremely hardy, resistant to most poisons and disease. They can even be used as food themselves
- Diet: The worms speed at producing silk depends on what they were fed. Denser plant materials take longer to process
- Invasive species: The worms have to be carefully monitored and controlled so they don't become a hazard to the environment they are introduced into. They could be very easily used in war to defoliate an area slowly and cause all manner of problems and disruptions in the food chain. On Kytrand they have a natural equilibrium with other life forms. On any other planet, they become vastly more aggressive in their consumption and amounts of larvae produced, and have a high chance of destroying the environment with strict monitoring
- Diet: Herbivore
- Communication: None
- Technology level: None
- Religion/Beliefs: None
- General behavior: These worms spend their life looking for something to eat, and can always be counted where the plants are
