A bloated, pale, segmented worm about 3 feet in length. Its face looks like that of a human or humanoid, except that it has no eyes.

The ancestor worm, is an intelligent, slug like undead with the power to turn flesh(dead or living) to stone. Ancestor Worms can be found in wilderness areas, but they are most often found in cemeteries, boneyards, and necropoli. There they slowly turn the surrounding dead bodies to a brittle stone that cannot be animated.

The presence of an Ancestor Worm is enough to cause flesh (living or dead) to harden and calcify, turning slowly into stone.

Instinct: Communicate with spirits of the dead they consume

• Devour the dead
• Burrow when threatened
• Impart forbidden knowledge
• Turn them to Stone
