Rockworm

Rockworms are small Rahi that live in nests they make underground.

History
Rockworms were created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.

Shortly after the Toa Mata arrived on Mata Nui, venom-spitting Rockworms attacked Po-Koro. Pohatu managed to defeat them by kicking boulders off the huts, downing many at once.

At one point on Mata Nui in Le-Wahi, Takua stumbled into a cave full of Stone Rats which Jaller attempted to rescue him from. Before they could escape, the two fell through a hole and collapsed into a Rockworm nest. The two Matoran were forced to dig their way out.

Mutated Rockworm
During the Toa Metru's fight with the physical form of Energized Protodermis, the substance mutated a Rockworm into a massive creature, which attacked the Toa. Whenua drove it off by blinding it with his Kanohi Ruru and forcing it underground.

Abilities & Traits
Although small, they are carnivorous as well as poisonous. Rockworms hunt by getting their prey to come into their nest before killing them.
