Slurm worms
Home Planet: Wormulon
General
This species is best known for producing and selling the soft drink Slurm. All the galaxy's Slurm is produced in a factory on their home planet. However, this factory is a front, as the true secret of Slurm is that it is actually a fluid produced by the Slurm Queen and sprayed out of her butt. This secret is closely guarded, for obvious reasons.
Reproduction
Little is known about this race's method of reproduction; however, there are two clues to work on.
- The existence of a Slurm Queen suggests some sort of hive society, though this may be purely cultural and not related to reproduction
- In "Fry and the Slurm Factory" when Glurmo is cut in half, he becomes two smaller, but whole, creatures.
Trivia
- The word "slurm" seems to be a combination of "slug" and "worm" and describes the creatures rather well.
