====Mirrodin==== ======<c title="Slagwurms">Plated Slagwurm</c>====== Slagwurms are the largest type of wurms on Mirrodin. These creatures lived in the [[Tangle]] on [[Mirrodin]]. They are known to dig huge tunnels. They compete for nesting ground around the [[Radix]]. Slagwurms all have large heads covered in natural armor plating; as a result, they have small, weak eyes. The people of Mirrodin made armor from slagwurm plating. The armor was tough, effective, cheap, and easy to make, as long as the armor of a slagwurm was on hand. Several types of slagwurm exist: the engulfing slagwurm is known for devouring its prey whole and is capable of eating any type of creature. Plated slagwurms are giant creatures—they are even larger than engulfing slagwurms—covered in defensive plates. Their plates can deflect almost any type of attack. The roaring slagwurm is the smallest type of slagwurm on Mirrodin. It is, however, capable of killing many smaller creatures easily. Its roar can disable nearby machines for a short time. During the [[New Phyrexia (plane)|Phyrexian invasion of Mirrodin]], the Phyrexians ''compleated'' several types of wurms. At first, they created the wurmcoil engine, a mechanical type of wurm with no living flesh. The wurmcoil engine was equipped with fast-acting toxins that could easily kill most creatures; the engine could also harvest the flesh from its victims, feeding the Phyrexian cause. If the engine was about to be destroyed, it could separate into two parts as a method of escape. One of the segments held the engine's toxins, while the other harvested living matter. As the Phyrexian invasion progressed, Phyrexia started to ''compleat'' Mirrodin's living wurms. The Praetor Vorinclex enjoyed ''compleating ''living slagwurms; the quilled slagwurm was one of Vorinclex's creations. Vorinclex removed the wurm's teeth to make it a more efficient killer. The wurm would simply swallow its prey whole, rather than chew it up first. The quilled slagwurm was a ''compleated ''version of the plated slagwurm; it lost its armor plates, which drastically changed its appearance, and allowed it to move faster, but made it more vulnerable to attacks. The massacre wurm was the first example of this; it was most likely some type of slagwurm at first—possibly a decayed roaring slagwurm, judging by its size—but was improved. The massacre wurm's very presence rotted and drained all life near it. The massacre wurm was one of Phyrexia's most powerful creatures and one of its best examples of ''compleation.''
