Translations:Codex: Sand Worms/32/en

The eggs seem to be completely immune to any sort of stomach acids. They do not need to be cared for in environments where soft soil or sand is abundant considering that they hatch shortly after they are laid. With the exception of the green female, all females already have an egg prepared and ready to be laid into the gut of their host once the female has confirmed that a male butt bug has inseminated her. If their unfertilized eggs come into contact with any sperm that is not from a male butt bug, they will induce an early ‘labor’ and lay all of the available eggs they have outside the host in order to prevent genetic contamination. This is often without warning, and without a care for where they end up. These eggs will not develop with no body incubating them and no female bug to care for them.
