The Ice Worm travels just below the surface of the ice, producing a distinct trail of pushed-up snow accompanied by a jet of steam. The tail ends with a pair of long and thin spines. The inside of the upper and lower pair is lined with black spines. Each is long and curved with a solid black exterior and fleshy red interior. Below the horn, the creature's four mouth-parts can be seen. This horn is super-heated and allows the Ice Worm to melt through ice in order to burrow. The head is mainly comprised by a single huge plate which tapers into a long, thick horn sticking straight out from the head. The underside is grey in color and has two rows of parapodia used to grip the ice running parallel down the body. The underside of the creature is bare and unprotected, lacking any protective plating. Beneath these plates are another set of triangular plates that stick out horizontally, each with a backwards facing spike. The Ice Worm has a very long body, the top side of which is completely covered by a thick segmented exoskeleton.
