'We don't know what it eats'
Well it clearly feeds on the nightmares of orphans and street urchins.
No, it clearly eats dreams and poops nightmares
You need monsters to defeat other monsters.
LMAO, I was thinking, here come my nightmares.
@BLUE DOG The worm doesn't deserve that comparison.
Apologize immediately!
The worm is misunderstood! They help get rid of nightmares, #avengescalewormidentity!
Oh to be a gold-bristled polychaete eating small creatures off of the deep ocean floor, truly a simpler life
Miss those days
Thank you Shermie
Yeah....funny, isn't it? Only 2020 could make us all yearn for the life of a bottom-dwelling worm.
Right?
@句丹句句と 尺ヨ尸卞丹尺 Am I Right , because I think Amirite is a totally different thing AHM EYE WRONG? lol happy trolls...I mean Trails lol
I love how this video is basically a 4 minute "I don't know tbh"
"It is currently unknown what these worms eat."
They eat my ability to sleep soundly at night.
Worm: Has a Mouth of a Xenomorph and a Body of a Microfiber mop.
Scientist: Yep it belongs to the family of Poly No-Day.
More like Poly *No-WAY*
@@benny_lemon5123 kek
Poly, _NO!_ -day
😂
I don't know why this made me laugh so hard... Thanks!
"So, as for now, these scary little monsters are probably safe."
But are we safe from them?
Jerry Cant what do you think? The worms live in the ocean and we live on land.

She looks starved, man! Feed her properly this time.
Ste men

My man looking as he was casted for Tremors.
I encountered and engaged the creatures with a combination of small arms fire and hand to hand combat. I ran out of ammo, thats never happened to me...lol
I don't get it.
@@user-qp1ys8sg3u Tremors is a movie about giant worm like creatures which kill humans.

Lol yep also it mouth looks like it could also have have Alien Alien and Predator DNA mixed up all in it too. But don't get the gold bristles esp if it's a predator animal eating prey. Maybe to attrack mattes as in breeding..... Shudder....
Or to single some how to other creatures you defently want to stay away from this Deep Ocean Nope Rope...
Now going to be all paranoid about having to use the loo and b4 I do iam going to lift the lid and check the water. I know this sounds silly, and make sure that unholy carp eater isn't in there...lol😉
Me: " *the retractable head looks like a xenomorph* "
My brain: " _hahaha pEn*S_ "
I mean, Xenomorph is based on H. R. Giger's painting, so I guess everything checks out.
"Of course it lives exactly where you would expect such horrors to live..."
Australia?
@maliki cody wha-? It's just a joke about Australia being the deadly animals' playground.
ah yes, the home of howtobasic, maxmoefoe, dumb ways to die, vegemite, kangaroos, unusually shaped opera houses, and sea snakes
Wow, I can't believe this is a real animal, it looks like a movie monster. I wish we had more images of them alive.
im loving worm week
Same here
I'll give you worms
Humans: "Nature is so nice and beautiful."
God: "Aight, yall ready for the nightmare patch?"
Humans: _"the what."_
God: "lol there's still the "apocalypse" update."
Humans are the nightmare patch.
@@LeXar71 That was 1.1
This is the new expansion pack
😹👌

This look like something straight out of Resident Evil lol
Looks like this thing would give you the T virus
Yeah it reminds me of Las Plagas.
When we find alien life, and it looks half as weird as this, we won't remember how weird the life on Earth still is.
Spinosaurus new apparence, ornyrnithorinque and others : Are we a joke to ypu
it is possible that the nitrogen makeup of earth's atmosphere allows no more than a 4% DNA differential amongst all life on the planet. this means that the cells from a human to an ant to a banana share at least 96% of their DNA with each other. a organism with say a 50% differential would not even be recognizable to the naked eye
@@SexyFace Where exactly are you getting your numbers from?
A fluffy, beaked, swimming demon nope rope
Imagine being the first person to discover that worm. I can't imagine their first thoughts being "I must study this creature."
I think the proper one would be an "Aaaaaaah! Go to hell, Xenomorph-dog!", accompanied by a steel rod bashing open the worm's skull.
That's their job after all. Most of the time the weirder animals are the most fascinating.
Also, it's not that scary honestly, you can see worst in movies or videogames.
Its looks terrifying but honestly if you keep it at a distance and have precaution while checking it, what can it do you? Not even the most poisionois or toxic creatures in the world can harm you if you are prepared.
That is the power of scientific observation. I was terrified of star fish and worms when i was a kid. But when you actually touch them, you understand fear is mostly a mental thing.
Our brain and visual cues can only tell us so much what is actually dangerous or not. That is why thinking in a scientific method is a powerful thing. It actually tells you what is dangerous. I believe that is the way scientist had been able to study these animals.
Luke Lim I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
also nice reference.
oh hey there’s my fleshlight!
Evolution: "My gift to mankind!"
Mankind: "Thanks, I hate it."
Botfly larvae: "Can you keep it down? I'm trying to sleep in you."
Mankind regifts worm to Lucifer.
I feel like evolution's true gift to mankind would be cancer and the like.
@@jondunmore4268 (Lucifer) "My sweet little child, where have you been? Papa's been worried, you know? Did the ugly humans hurt you?"
"Sorry, wrong planet. Try the 1st one from sun!"
I'm loving Worn Week! I even got my mother to sit down and watch these. This worm horrified her.
"this worm horrified her" 😁😁
Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣
DUDE, I LOVE YOUR ACCOUNT NAME AND PHOTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!😂
It is so terrifying and interesting that even god says "oh my god"
When I was studying at the Alan Hancock Foundation at the University of Southern California I was in the laboratory of Dr. Olga Hartman, one of the world's experts on polychaete worms. She had an extensive collection of polychetes from all over the world. She had some large antarctic scale worms in her worm museum. These huge scale worms are not easily forgotten.
By the way that large protruding structure is not the head, but the proboscis . The jaws strongly suggests it is a predator.
Huh, so I guess 'The Thing' did survive in the end.
Doesn't look like the thing but people will pretend it's funny
@@elevatedaspirations it kinda has a look. Idk what movie you watched
@@alexradice8163 you're not just wrong, you're stupid.
@@alexradice8163 It takes the look of its current or previous host/s, it then adapts to the situation using the tissue of its hosts in the most effective way it can.
@@alexradice8163 it imitates shit then goes weird if threatened or interrupted. I'd say this counts.
I’ve seen this guy on King Kong.
King Kong was one of the scariest movies and the most gross one. The Tibia rotworms scared me, it's like Australia had its own Australia!
That scene was both horrifying and fetishist in a weird way
@@DraconasTenZHG Megaustralia
Let’s be honest, this magnificent being clearly feeds off of the knowledge of those who encounter- this knowledge is stored in the body, so that one day, the little monstrosity may transcend this mortal plane, to become something beautiful.
Thanks, it was poetic!
Azathot backstory looks cool
um... arent you supposed to order some mtfs to contain this shit or something?
That was actually pretty wholesome
More like, it uses that knowledge to take over the world and become our overlords, and enslaving other species.
“Gold glittery nightmare fuel” 💀😂 0:15 he says it so cheerily
God: So you know a feather
Angel: Oh yeah, like from a bird?
God: Yeah. Now give it a face and make it swim.
Angel: oh not again-
God: Now give it a beak thing, but also make it your worst nightmare
omg youre so FUNNY! Here have my upvote redditard!
Nooooo the devil made it
Yeah, this... thing is a good evidence that God did not create animals XD
@@honeybutter8257 Comment removed by gay mod. Reason: Didn't follow good reddiquette.
"But why?"
"I'm working through some things"
1:54 breeding.. well it probably puts its larvae in your belly, like any good xenomorph would do.
Kinky
Inde-- wait what
1:25 One brave mortal has dared to touch it without gloves
TLDW: Its scary looking and we don't know anything about it.
nailed it
"So where would a nightmarish demon worm like this live? Will it lives exactly where one would expect,"
Ah, somewhere in Maine.
Was hoping this was an ancient and long extinct species 😨
Yeah, it’s ancient... living under the ocean in a dark frozen habitat. That’s pretty ancient.
It's not going to kill you mate, don't worry it's far away from you.
@@crapaudbiscornu7941 *yet*
20cm worm nothing to fear.
Or something aliens had dropped
Sandy from spongebob--"IT'S AN ALASKAN BULL WORM!!!
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT THANK YOU
Wait Alaska is North, Antarctica is in the other direction. You almost fooled me you goofy goober.
With all the weird sh*t found in the oceans, especially deep and/or polar ones, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody finds living trilobites or something down there
Yay! I looked the thumbnail and unconsciously thought, "is that a polycheate worm?"
Haha, you NERD!
That’s when you know you’ve leveled up from _Virgin Smoothbrain_ to:
*_Chad Scholar_*
Wait time out, it has a retractable head?
When you see something like this, it makes it a whole lot easier to believe that when you look up at all those billions of stars in the sky, there has to be life on those planets orbiting them.
I love how entropy makes animal so complex and so ugly at the same time
“GRABOIDS, THATS IT GRABOIDS....YOUR GOING TO BE SORRY IF YOU DONT GIVE IT A NAME”
Dont.
That is how you get atached to it.
Dweeb
Lmfaoo you deserve an award for this comment!!
@@ninjabaiano6092 guess you don't watch movies mate
"An animal with the mouth of a xenomorph and the body of a microfiber mop " 😂
Imagine being the submersible pilot that first noticed this thing on the sea floor and thought, “Wow! A golden feather wo-OHHH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!”
God: (opens junk drawer)
“Hmm, what do I have left over: vampire bat teeth, badger scrotums, albino raccoon fingers, old crusty paint brushes and an IKEA assembly tool..”
It looks of some hybrid thg
"It is currently unknown what they eat" The souls of the unborn clearly.
It looks so tired and elderly. Like it's an exasperated older man who has a job in banking or something.
@WolfThorn
Just being creative about what I see xD
A blood sucking worm and a banker really kind sums up each other huh?
Definitely a new spawn of an Old One.
A Worm Week classic.

Can you talk about the Mongolian Death Worm next?
It's one of the scheduled videos so keep an eye out for it.
The WHAT?!
Mongolian WHAT NOW
@@cascalavera9388 it's a myth.
What about the Alaskan Bull Worm? They must be close relatives.
I was watching alien and prometheus clips, now this shows up in my recommendation. I see you TH-cam.
i love this lil dude :) fuzzy . gives him a pet
These are so awesome and I will feature them one day in an episode of Alternate Evolution. They could easily be imagined to evolve further.
Ohhh now I have to go check out your channel!!
Right. Put some size on them and you could engender serious fear.
I can't believe that worm week isn't internationally recognised, I feel so betrayed.
I knew this was going to make my skin crawl but yet I couldn't resist watching
Found beneath the artic? Found in a temple? A lovecraftian temple? The failed offspring of a great old one? This is a monstrosity that could see into minds with no eyes?
"We don't know much about the worm's breeding behaviour"
I imagine that's because all who witness such a thing would immediately go mad and commit suicide in the most expedient way they can devise.
Fast to the end!
Both of these replies confuse me lol.
This comment is Lovecraft af
@@TheRealMycanthrope yeah just realized that
Not my proudest fap
"Well of course it lives where you'd expect such horrors to live"
You didn't say Australia.
Dominatus or Florida.
Bc it swims and Australia is a hot desert, in terms of nightmarish creatures if it walks it's probably Australian and if it swims almost definitely polar oceans
@@agustinvenegas5238 Australia isnt a desert :/ We have a lot of different biomes, like rainforests. And the coral reefs hold some pretty dangerous marine life too
@@e.m.4164 First time on the internet? Enjoy your stay :)
