The '''polar thaworm''' split from its ancestor the [[thaworm]]. It has moved to [[Barlowe Polar Scrub]] and [[Barlowe Tundra]]. The climate was not much different from its ancestors habitat which had a lot of snow and ice. While its the same size as its ancestor it has become thicker to help retain heat. Its jaws have gotten shorter as well however they are just as strong. |

They melt snow both with their jaws and back nodes. These blue patches excrete a salty anti-freeze-like substance as well as some heat. However it only uses heat as a last resort. During the warmer months they will bulk up on food to replenish their fat reserves. Like its ancestors its chemo-receptive hairs in its 4 jaws help it find food over vast distances. Since it is frequently in recently melted snow it has gills as well as having micro-lungs for non-aquatic environments. |
