Gameplay[]
The Guardians encounter this monster for the first time during Chapter 1: A Risky Gamble while exploring the Quarantine Zone. Later in the game, players encounter a second variant, the Ice Wuruum enemies (with their own Galactic Compendium entry), on Maklu IV during Chapter 13: Against All Odds.
Records[]
Wuruums are one of the most adaptive species in the galaxy and it's not unusual to find them on any planet bearing life. They're known to plant their larvae in anything, especially fruits and vegetables, later infesting the creatures that eat them. Xenobiologists believe the booming animal trade market has almost single-handedly seeded these creatures onto multiple worlds. Without host plants to support their young, they are also capable of producing large masses of eggs. Crews fighting in the Galactic War reported waking up to find whole ship chambers covered in egg structures.
The basic wuruum has an impressive mass and uses its body to whip and crush its prey, intending to prevent escape by breaking bones. It is also capable of a thick slime spray, which weighs down and binds anything trying to escape.
The Makluvian breed of wuruum has adapted to extreme cold and is able to burrow and nest inside thick walls of ice. In fact, it has become so in-tune with its habitat that its hunting techniques have changed to match the frigid temperatures. It has evolved to spit a rapidly-freezing mucus at its prey, locking its victim in place so it can feed itself or seed its young. As one of the smaller beasts on a planet filled with gargantuan predators, the ice wuruum strikes only when it has an advantage in numbers or position and makes quick work of the carcass before retreating into its hole.
