Wingworms

A giant insect from Nausicaa, statted up for your use in Labyrinth Lord or Dungeon Crawl Classics. These creatures are never named in the original manga but they play a large part in volume two.

Wingworms are large aerial predators common to the plains of Ig and surrounding lands. Stretching up to thirty feet long, these carnivorous insects look a little like enormous centipedes, but in place of legs they have rows of long wings. They move sinuously through the air, acting as apex predators. Wingworms feed on both terrestrial animals as well as aerial trilobite. Every decade or so the species travels to the Scabrous Land to spawn. They darken the sky as they head north, but are so driven they almost completely ignore what goes on below.
