Basics
~ Female wurms are usually two to three feet bigger than males. Their blood and spit are certainly more acidic, and they are considered to be the more dangerous in the species.

~ Female wurms lay only five to ten eggs per spawning, and even then only one or two of these mature into fully-grown adults. A wurm can only spawn twice in its life.

Cliff-ghasts or Mountain Phantoms or Grey Ghosts

- Said to originate from the angry spirits of mountain climbers/explorers that died during expeditions. They are extremely attracted to blood and raw flesh. They swarm their prey in the tens to hundreds, eating voraciously, leaving not even the bones behind.

- Dead mountain climbers/explorers not given a proper burial will most likely end up as cliff-ghasts. Their spirits wander around until they somehow gain a resemblance of a physical body. This body borders on semi-solidity, mayhap like a form of smog, thus earning their name as Grey Ghosts. Ghasts may resemble what they used to look like in life.

- It is near impossible to exterminate a mob of cliff-ghasts; only full-pledged Slayers can accomplish the task. However a lone cliff-ghast can easily be put to rights with a BIG fire. After a ghast has been killed, it is in order to leave behind a prayer and offering for the dead, to ensure that the killed ghast will not rise again.
