Enormous worms that live on ocean floors. The Bobworm shares some aspects with the Sandworm and the Oomukade, but due to the environment, they have substantial differences to both. A Bobworm is more insectlike than her sandy counterpart, having many stubby "legs" on either side of her lower body. They also possess five antennae on top of their head, which are highly sensitive to sound, but more so to movement. The teeth around their mouths are smaller but much more numerous, to dig through soil and sediment. They also have large bristles to grab their prey with, and a pair of oversized mandibles positioned on either side of its mouth to grab prey. They have been known to attack so swiftly that their prey has been cut in half.

Bobworms are ambush predators, and they tunnel into the ocean floor hiding their long lower bodies and almost completely concealing their upper body. Only their five antennae are visible when waiting for prey, and often appear to be some type of coral or marine flora. When they detect prey, they quickly leap out and grab it using their powerful mandibles, injecting it with a potent venom that stuns its prey, then pulls it under the ocean floor just as quickly as when they attacked. Because of this, they are seen as ferocious.

In contrast to their aggressive way of seizing prey, they are often rather melancholic. When they capture a man, they'll pull him into their mouths instead of letting him be suffocated by the dirt. While inside a Bobworm, her venom and digestive fluid will mix, dissolving any clothes the man is wearing while his whole body will throb pleasantly. They have soft walls of flesh on the inside, and they enjoy

Just like their cousins, Bobworms will keep their husband inside them, shielding them from the water and the dirt above them. They tend to be quite clingy, becoming quite distressed if their husband ever leaves their body, even for a moment.
