The Azure Gusherwurm split from its ancestor, and moved to the Wright Rainforest. The smallest of the Gusherwurms, the Azure Gusherwurm excels at getting into small places as well as getting into the tunnels of its prey. Gusherwurms feed on the blood of its victims and are capable of both feeding on living or dead creatures, although Gusherwurms prefer to hunt living prey. When a Gusherwurm feeds on a living individual it will inject a mild sedative via it's mouth. It will do this in an attempt to impair the creature allowing it more time to feed. All Gusherwurms have a similar larval stage that will feed on only Iron until it's jaws and mouth are developed enough to penetrate the skin of its prey. The Azure Gusherwurm's body is slightly rigid as well as being softer and easier to squeeze, despite it having more iron in its diet than the Crimson Gusherwurm and possessing a similar restricted food source as the Verdant Gusherwurm. This implies that the Azure Gusherwurm is the closest descendant to its ancestor.
