Of course they had teeth. It just had to have teeth. Shaw wasn't convinced that this thing didn't eat meat, including the human variety. There was no way that something that big with teeth didn't like to chow down on some fresh meat. At least that was Shaw's logic. If it got its jollies from munching down on minerals, why was it swallowing up entire villages? Where were the people? Maybe they would find out when they reached the bottom.
Inside the hovercraft Shaw slipped the headlamp on but not before accidentally flipping it on and almost blinding himself. Their descent was slow. Painfully slow if you asked Shaw, Mindor's breathtaking sunset replaced by nothing but dirt and darkness. When they reached the bottom, it took Shaw a few seconds to work up the nerve to slide off the hovercraft.
"Whoa," he breathed out, looking around by the light of his headlamp. A subterranean passageway stretched on either side of them. It looked like one of Coruscant's subways, but instead of durasteel with design it was hollowed out of nothing but dirt and rock. "So this is how the worm gets around," Shaw said, voicing the obvious out loud. He looked over at Elidan. "Which way we goin?"
They had two options. Shaw knew which way he would go if he was a worm, but Elidan was the expert here. Whichever direction the knight chose, Shaw would fall in line, slinging one of the emergency packs over his shoulder. The soil was soaked along the passageway, puddling occasionally. Their boots sunk with every step. Please be water... Please be water... Shaw kept thinking to himself, loathing the alternative.
"Sooooo," he spoke up as they walked. "Any idea what these things are called or we got a working name?" Or they could just stick to big worm thing. That worked too. @LouJoVi
