Species Notes
Grouping: Reptilian
Tunnelwyrm live within caves and mountainous areas, borrowing their way through the earth to get from place to place. Their rock-hard heads aid them in this venture; if they cannot easily burrow their way through something, they will use their heads, along with the sharp spikes protruding from them, to break through tougher substrates. The patterns that adorn their long bodies are utilised to make predators and prey alike dizzy, as the wyrm frantically gyrates to create a sensory overload for all looking directly at it. Larger food items are torn into more manageable chunks, but smaller prey is most typically swallowed whole.
Their thick, coarse manes are something of a curiosity. They do not appear to aid them in their day-to-day lives, but they are presumed to perhaps be used as part of mating in some way, be it a display to seek out a mate or an indicator of desirability. Finding a sleeping Tunnelwyrm in the wild is extraordinarily difficult, but ones raised in captivity are very comfortable with sleeping out in the open if someone they trust is nearby. When sleeping, they coil themselves up tightly, sometimes even making a raspy snore.

Owner's Notes
Lazy, indifferent... She doesn't look excited when getting a tagalong invintation, doesn't run around happily or chat endlessly when going trough dark hallways. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings, no, this is just a part of her character.
She is unbelievabely strong. (-38 with one bite, c'mon, if i even dreamed about this)
In battle, she fights with the standard tunnelwyrm style, which may look a little strange for the first time.
That, however, is not because of her metauniversal laziness. (Comparing to others, she may even turn out to be the least lazy), She still don't have an own style at all. Handler's offers to develop it keep being rejected, so this idea, most probably, have no chance to come true. And must it?
A tunnelwyrm, yet she absolutely don't like any work related to earth. Metal walls and a good enemy - if the reason you called her doesn't by any chance meet these requirements, she'll go back to sleep.
