Does not use tunnels; makes them. The slowest lineage to the surface and the only one that arrives underneath you, which is what a wall is least ready for.

Growth

Four stages, 0.20 m to 0.90 m

It grows through four stages, fed and irreversible. A hatchling is not a smaller cute version; it is the adult’s anatomy at a hatchling’s size.

Coldlight, taken from a cinder moth: a Crystal Wyrm in the Moth Galleries learns a trait from what it kills and carries a light that gives no warmth.

The Crown Sings

In play18 seconds

Crystal against tunnel swine in the Moth Galleries. The Crystal Wyrm does not breathe fire: it rings, and the resonance does the rest.
