Gigas worm (Eufez)

The Gigas worm is a creature found across Eufez, most commonly domesticated by the Gigas for meat. It is not often seen in the wild.

The Gigas worm grows deep underground in caves and emerges from the earth during rainy seasons to eat crops. Its bite will make a person's flesh rot and kill them if it is not treated immediately, however a cure has been created since then. It can grow to lengths up to 30ft and has a strong odor to detract predators. These creatures are generally non-aggressive, and farmers usually apt to either trap or deter them as the creatures can be deadly if provoked.

In the wild, these creatures are most common in Cornelia, Elfheim, and Pravoka.

Etymology
Gigas comes from the Lumok word "gil" which means "chief", meaning "chief worm"

History
The elves of the Georganian peninsula were highly advanced. It has been shown that the elves had domesticated the 'Gigas worm' and utilized it in agriculture before the Gigas ever did centuries later. The Georganians also used the Gigas worm to create Foreg (a city on the northern coastline near Duchess Lake). It is believed that the Gigas worms were used to create tunnels underground and form the foundations of the city.
