An abyssal wurm is a type of demon found within the Abyss.

Description[]

Abyssal wurms often guard passages out of the deepest and darkest parts of the Abyss. Even some demon lords steer clear of the areas around their nests. Abyssal wurms were the children of Tiamat and Kothok, and it was Kothok who brought them to the Abyss.[1]

Abilities[]

The abyssal wurms make use of their gnashing teeth and sheer size in battle and employ their own breath weapon.[1]

Combat[]

Abyssal wurms sometimes toy with weaker prey before moving in to kill. Wurms rely on their size and will if needed retreat from combat through the vary passageways they guard.[1]

Publication history[]

D&D 4th edition[]

Abyssal wurms first appeared as a monster in the 4th edition sourcebook Demonomicon in 2010.
