Wothorm

Wothorms were a worm-like species that inhabited the planet Hoth. Wothorms were more advanced than the ice worms located on the planet, which were decreasing in number. This evolved species had adapted to the conditions that previous ice worms were unable to adjust to, and became increasingly populous throughout the planet as they had no known predators.

Wothorms could range anywhere in size from one foot to eight feet in length, depending on their diet, which consisted mainly of lichen. Although they did not need an abundance of lichen to survive, when they were present in large amounts, Wothorms would feast on them until they were either no longer present or were completely filled to their own capacity. Because of the planet's harsh conditions, the Wothorms would store the energy they received from the lichen for extended periods of time until it was necessary to hunt again.

In order to travel through the ice and snow covering Hoth, they had numerous rows of razor sharp teeth that could literally cut through ice. The Wothorms were able to move around due to tiny hairs lining their bodies.
