Butcher worms are omnivores that enjoy a diet of fungus, detritus, and carrion.  Against man-sized or smaller opponents they are aggressive, attacking with a vicious bite. 

Description: The body of these bizarre worms is green with bright purple or blue-green spots. The freakish head possesses multiple black eyeballs and they sport two up-swinging cleaver-like mandibles.
