Translations:Codex: Sand Worms/14/en

Both sexes have nerve manipulation organs that extend from within their main bodies to control their larger worm-like body. In the case of males, these are ripped away in the process of ejection. Females, on the other hand, are able to retract and subsequently reuse them while they are embedded in their hosts. These tendrils are stored within their main body, hidden until they are needed. Only a few of the tendrils are used in the ‘nerve merge’, while the rest remain available as tentacular feelers capable of manual manipulation.
