Description: The Geminorm is a peculiar beast, resembling a large worm with a head at each end. These creatures burrow through the soft soils and sands of Arda's deserts, causing tremors with their movements. Each head is equipped with a maw full of razor-sharp teeth, designed for grinding and digesting the tough roots and cacti that make up its diet.
Behavior and Diet: Geminorms are detritivores, primarily feeding on dead and decaying plant matter, though they will not shy away from carrion when available. They have a unique digestive system that allows them to process material found deep underground. Despite their frightening appearance, Geminorms are not naturally aggressive towards humanoids but will defend themselves vigorously if attacked or disturbed. Their double-headed nature makes them unpredictable and difficult to escape once they perceive a threat.
