From Garamondia’s Optical Dungeon

Cosmic Insect. Grown by timeless beings in their squirming billions in the future and then seeded back through the timeline to prune it of its complexities. Sometimes handled by barbazus to sniff chaos. A divine servant.

Imagine a nine-foot long worm made of a series of chitinous spiked wheels. Its horrible mouth looks like a grinder and it roars like a gregorian chorus.
