description: Among the most dangerous cave worms are the fiery crimson worms. In addition
  to being even larger than azure or purple worms, the crimson worm has a penchant
  for burrowing through volcanic regions that, over the generations, have infused
  it with a supernatural link to the Elemental Plane of Fire. The molten heart of
  an active volcano is an attractive lair for a crimson worm, as are the sprawling
  fields of bubbling magma found in the deepest reaches of the Darklands. Legends
  from ancient peoples, precursor dwarven societies, and colonists of the Elemental
  Planes populated moats of lava with crimson worms likely have some basis in truth,
  although the methods such ancients used to keep these "moat worms" contained and
  prevented them from chewing their way through fortress foundations must have been
  significant.

    attacks.
