The Animworm[1] is a non-hostile background creature appearing in Metroid: Samus Returns.
Description[]
The Animworm can be found in Area 3 of SR388, where it can be seen in the background of many southwest rooms (such as the first and second tower corridors), slipping from one hole into another. Since it is only seen in the background, it does not attack Samus, nor can she damage it.
The Animworm is a gray creature that resembles an Earth centipede. The creature's face appears to consist of a single large eyeball and its segmented body is lined with spikes, giving it a similar appearance to the Zebesian Charge Beam Beast. Its tunneling behavior is also very similar to Botwoon in Super Metroid, Serris in Metroid Fusion, and the Fune and Namihe in Metroid: Other M; however, unlike any of these hostile creatures, it is not known to employ this strategy in battle.
