Deathworms number among the Tekron's strangest creations. They are huge, drilling machines which burrow along under the earth, towing behind them a string of carriages containing troops. When they reach their objectives, they emerge, great drill bits still throwing off chucks of churned earth, and each segment disgorges its cargo of troops.

Deathworms can be tracked only with seismic sensors. It is fortunate for humanity that they are so slow. The usual method of dealing with them is to track their progress and bomb them as they emerge. This has certainly worked for capitol on Mars.

Dimensions: 25m long (each segment)/ 5m high / 5m wide.
