Adam Ingle, a resident of Keller, told NBC5 of the underground monster that reared its hammerhead in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston areas, “It was terrifying, like these are truly the end times, even the worms are demonic.”
These foot-long invertebrates, so named because of their flat, ball-peen-like noggins, release neurotoxins that can irritate human skin when they come into touch with it and poison pets who consume them.
The ecosystem may be impacted by these intruders’ predation on native species, such as earthworms that care for the soil.
