The waurms is the tier 6 creature of the Hive faction. It is recruited from the Burning Soul Burrows. The waurms can be upgraded into the devourer or pyroboros.

Waurmos were once known as semi-intelligent creatures roaming the Ironsand Desert. It broke my heart to discover they were corrupted, now serving as the Hive's siege breakers.OffBck
