Powers and Abilities
Hagworms are more of an annoyance than a threat. They appear in swarms underwater and mob (in DC Heroes RPG terms, a Team Attack) anyone in their path.
History
The Black Mesa complex is a private high-tech research installation (with strong ties to the U.S. government) located somewhere in the American Southwest. An accident in the Anomalous Materials Lab caused a dimensional breach into the world known as Xen.
Hagworms are one of the more innocuous creatures to fall through the breach.
Description
White grubs with a mouth at one end filled with tiny, razor-sharp teeth. They usually appear in swarms of 10-30.
Personality
Nope.
DC Universe History
This would be a moderate-level threat to the Earth, probably a good challenge for Young Justice or a similarly-powered team. It might be a good solo challenge for Batman.
