Hang in there! Clarissa, Griff and Grillo encounter a Globa-Worm

Clarissa, Griff and Grillo are out exploring seemingly desolate planetoid, when suddenly the ground gives way beneath their feet. Unbeknownst to them the crater-covered rock has been taken over by a Globa-worm, a creature which bores into the heart of small planets, hollowing it out and absorbing its nutrients. It continues to grow beneath the surface of the planetoid, until there is nothing left but a shell of relatively thin rock. The beast then lies in wait beneath the surface for the unsuspecting prey which may land upon it's rocky outer covering.

Only Grillo can save Clarissa and Griff from becoming the Globa-worm's next meal, but only if he isn't too distracted by Clarissa losing her clothes in the rescue attempt.

Here is a bit more info on Gloga-Worms, for anyone who cares (and I cannot think of any good reason why you should).

 

The Globa-Worm Lifecycle

Figure 1: A Globa-Worm egg, encapsulated in a space vacuum resistant cytoplasm, travels through space until is reaches a suitable planetoid, and then hatches.

Figure 2: The Larval stage Globa-Worm uses its strong jaws to consume the material of the planetoid and, in the process, burrows a deep tunnel to the center of the rocky mass.

Figure 3: Having dug to the center of the planetoid (using its inborn gravitation sensors to locate the exact center of the mass) the Globa-Worm larvae undergoes a metamorphosis. It begins to grow additional mouths and rapidly begins to consume all the material at the interior of the planetoid.

Figure 4: Having consumed all but a very thin outer shell of the planetoid, the Globa-worm lies dormant beneath the surface. Having consumed the majority of a planetoid, the beast is now capable of going thousands of years without another meal. It does, however, maintain sensors connecting it to the surface that pick up the vibrations of anything living on the surface, or anything which lands upon the surface. Sensing the like, one of the now hundreds of mouths breaks the surface in order to capture the meal. The Globa-Worm completes the lifecycle by a-sexually reproducing a new batch of eggs, which it launches into space in three thousand year intervals.
