The corkscrew krugg lays its eggs on the skin of rainforest phlocks, preferably on wounds. The tiny (1
Like most kruggs, the larvae resemble thornworms, with the closest resemblance to beach thornworms. Unlike thornworms, they have comparatively weak and very pale exoskeletons, no exposed red parts between segments, six articulated spike-like limbs and vestigial eyes. Within a week the larvae change to a creamy grub-like second form with a greater resemblance to an adult krugg. This transformation is controlled by hormones produced by the gut and visual lobes of the larvae's brain, and will only happen in a dark, warm, moist environment with plenty of nutrition. If a corkscrew krugg larvae does not have eyes or its gut cannot properly produce hormones, it will not transform to its secondary form.
