Overview
Varmis is a large sand-moving crustacean variant documented in Sol Valley on Viewros. Several individuals were recorded in an eastern crater-like area, where unaltered subjects withdrew into sand rather than remaining in close contact. That baseline behavior is a necessary counterweight to the later altered incident.
The organism travels by diving into and moving through sand as if swimming. Its observable identifiers include a large scaled body, a broad circular mouth, and a distinct tail orb. These establish a practical field silhouette; they do not support an invented mire habitat, root-foraging behavior, or swamp-based ecology.
One Varmis was documented as enlarged and behaviorally changed after exposure to a Green Energy shower. The archive preserves this as a specific alteration event rather than treating it as the normal condition of the species. Baseline and altered observations must remain separate.
Sand Transit And Alteration Boundary
The most reliable way to recognize Varmis before surfacing is a moving sand disturbance followed by the distinctive body profile. A team should record surface displacement, emergence point, travel direction, and the condition of the tail orb without assuming an attack sequence from every movement.
The Green Energy-altered individual demonstrates that environmental exposure can materially change size and behavior. It does not demonstrate a normal life stage, a population-wide transformation, or a stable relationship with Green Energy across all Varmis observations.
Sol Valley Comparison Records
Viewros, Sand Crawler, Sand Shren, and Phenoros provide useful comparison records for Sol Valley and nearby Viewros environments. They do not establish a shared range, food source, or lifecycle.
The archive should retain Varmis as a sand-transit record with a documented alteration boundary. That is more precise and more useful than converting its form into a generic armored-mire grazer.
