Slamworm is the Nemetrix's DNA sample of an unnamed species from the planet Terraexcava.

Slamworm's species is the predatory species of Talpaedans.

Appearance

Slamworm is a giant worm-like alien with sharp teeth, a wide beak-like mouth, and a tail ending in a pincer like set of spikes. Slamworm possesses a lavender and orange hide, a white underbelly, grey spikes running down her back, and four red insectoid legs on each side near the front.

As with all of Zed's transformations, Slamworm wears a red spiked collar with the Nemetrix on it.

Slamworm shooting acid.

Like the Talpaedans it feeds on, Slamworm is a skilled burrower, able to tunnel through almost any surface at remarkable speed.

Slamworm can spit balls of acid from her mouth at a rapid pace.

Weaknesses

The inside of Slamworm's mouth is sensitive to damage, as shown when Diamondhead and Armodrillo attacked the inside of his mouth to escape his attack.

History

Omniverse

Zed

Slamworm first appeared in It Was Them. Slamworm attacked Ben outside of the Burger Shack. Her tunnelling ability confused Diamondhead, and she managed to get him in a rather helpless position. Diamondhead managed to escape and trap her, at which point Khyber then recalled Slamworm.
In Of Predators and Prey: Part 1, when Ben became Armodrillo to battle Mucilator, Zed transformed into Slamworm to counterattack, sending him flying through the air.
In Of Predators and Prey: Part 2, Crabdozer turned into Slamworm to battle Armodrillo.
In Outbreak, When the Nemetrix started malfunctioning, Zed turned into Slamworm and attacked Khyber.
In Malefactor, Crabdozer turned into Slamworm to battle Armodrillo. She battled Armodrillo until he turned into Big Chill, at which point Slamworm transformed into Hypnotick.

Khyber's Panuncian

In A Fistful of Brains, one of the Panuncian's clones used its Nemetrix to transform into Slamworm after the Panuncian cornered Ben.
