Like mole rats and radscorpions, they can close the distance quite rapidly by burrowing into the ground and bursting forth closer to the Sole Survivor or their companions. These brahmin can be spotted from a distance if watched, as they will twitch and bulge slowly.īloodworms have two targetable sections, one being their head and the other being their tail. Upon reaching their prey, they will lunge forth from the ground and attempt to bite their target.īloodworm larvae will also inhabit the corpses of large prey, such as brahmin, and come out of the corpse to attack any new prey that wanders by. These worms react to the presence of intruders in their territory and will charge the intruders by burrowing through the dirt at high speeds.

They hunt prey, are roughly four to five feet (120 to 150 centimeters) long, and can attack creatures equal to or larger than themselves.īloodworms that have mutated since the Great War, they are now approximately the size of an adult human being and have spines on the outside of their body in addition to their four-pronged maw. They use this ability quite a bit, ambushing prey from beneath the surface, and then returning underground to catch their prey unaware again. The first of these is their burrowing ability instead of burrowing into wet sand and silt, their four hollow jaws have become adept at plowing through the tough and dried soil. Despite a total change in habitat, bloodworms have retained two of their original traits.

Originally an aquatic species, these bloodworms (order Glycera) steadily migrated from the coastal waters of the Atlantic coast after mutating, and have made their homes in the dry and dusty wasteland.
