The duracrete worm, a significant silica parasite, inhabited the planet of Coruscant.
This parasite presented as a sizable (ranging from three to five meters in length), sluggish helminth, specifically a parasitic worm. These creatures dwelled in the base sections of structures, consuming their way through the foundations and pipe systems. Their method of reproduction was parthenogenesis. Furthermore, they possessed rudimentary eyes, sensory feelers located near their oral cavity, and abrasive teeth situated beneath their snout. Their visual characteristics bore resemblance to the duracrete slug.
On occasion, they become prey for hive rats.
