Razorworms, also known as groundsharks, are creatures from an alternate dimension, where they are top of the food chain.

They are worm-like creatures larger than a grown man, with teeth larger than a human head, and have the ability to burrow through rock and detect vibrations in the earth, much like Tunnellers.

History[]

The razorworm species was discovered by an expedition team who had been shunted into their reality. Three male specimens were shunted back to the team's own reality, and were trained by three mercenaries who had similar abilities to them: Gepard Voke, Barnaby Skulk, and Persephone Grief, the latter of whom found them "cute".

Voke and Barnaby voted to call the species 'groundsharks', while Persephone voted to call them 'razorworms'. Barnaby later changed his mind, and the name became 'razorworms'. Persephone was also responsible for naming the creatures, calling the large ones 'Rex' and 'Spot', and dubbing the small one 'William', after Billy-Ray Sanguine.

In 2013, the razorworms are used by the English Sanctuary as a level of defence against Sanguine. A few months later, the razorworms intercept Sanguine somewhere near Nantucket, and herd him to an old house where Voke, Persephone, and Barnaby attempt to kill him. The razorworms are unable to travel through the walls of the house, only attacking Sanguine underground.

After Sanguine kills Voke, Persephone, and Barnaby, he decides that the razorworms will be an appropriate wedding present for Tanith Low. The two of them are ultimately never married, and it is unknown what Sanguine does with the razorworms in the meantime, but they have not been seen since. Archivist Rux has been unable to find any trace of them.
