Slammoids[DJW 1] are a predatory species from the planet Poiana Lüncas.
Appearance[]
Slammoids are giant worm-like aliens with sharp teeth, a wide beak-like mouth, and a tail ending in a pincer-like set of spikes. Slammoids possess a lavender and orange hide, a white underbelly, grey spikes running down their back, and four red insectoid legs on each side near the front.
Diet[]
Slammoids prey on Talpaedans and other natural inhabitants of Poiana Lüncas.
Powers and Abilities[]
Slammoids have the ability to spit multiple balls of acid from their mouth to dissolve the metal bodies of Talpaedans so that they are easier to consume.[1][DJW 2]
Like the Talpaedans they feed on, Slammoids are skilled burrowers, able to tunnel through almost any surface at remarkable speed and can sprout anywhere they want at a fast rate.[1]
A Slammoid's beak is able to find the joints in a Talpaedan's armor where it can be pried open.[DJW 2]
Slammoids possesses sharp teeth as well as enhanced strength and durability.[1]

Etymology[]
Slammoid is a combination of "slam" and "Graboid", referring their slam attack and physical similarities with the Graboids from the Tremors franchise.
Trivia[]
- Slammoids are based off the Sandworm from Dune,[DJW 3] who are coincidentally nicknamed the "Grabboid", in addition to the Tremors Graboids.
- Slammoids being the Tapaedan's natural predator is based on how real-life armadillos hunt earthworms, but with the roles of predator and prey being swapped from the two species.
