Heil Wurm (Germ. HEIL "Healing" + VURM "Worm") is an Earthworm-like Wesen. This wesen species possesses a unique physiology that enables to regenerate from any injury it receives be it minor or fatal. When an Heil Wurm woges their physical appearence at first glance can be mistaken for a  Lausenschlange except in place of scales they have a series of horizontal lines covering their entire bodies. Their facial features however save for their eyes and mouth completely vanish giving their faces a very smooth appearence. The eyes of a Heil Wurm shrink in size slightly as they become completely black. Like the Naiad, The Heil Wurm requires a wet enviroment to dwell in but while living in a dry area isn't necessarily fatal for them, it can start to take efefct over time as their skin slowly dries out and their body begins to shut down. These wesen are also fantastic diggers and have an inborn love for digging as well. Many of their ancestors have taken part in the creation of mines throughout history, the most notable being the Tamarack mine
 * Redoing this Wesen of mine because while I still like the idea, it seems to be lacking in some area's so I'm gonna rename and detail it more so that people here will like it more*

The Heilun Ormur (Icelandic. HEILUN "Healing" + OR-MUR "worm") is an Earthworm-like Wesen native to Iceland. This wesen species possesses a unique physiology and anatomy that enables it to recover from any injury or wound it receives, be it minor or fatal. The Heilun Ormur seemingly regenerates in a way similar to both worms in general but also like that of a Zebrafish, being able to regenerate specific parts of its body on command, this usually results in certain Heilun Ormur taking an interest and eventually having a career in genetics or something gene related like basic biology/science. This regeneration process apparently reverts the Heilun Ormur's damaged cells into a stem cell like state and redifferentiate's them. While not all Heilun Ormur are genetist, their are some that live normal lives while others are refered to "throwbacks"  as these Heilun Ormur prefer to remain in touch with "ancestral roots". Unlike the Coyotl, these throwbacks aren't considered to be like street gangs, inbred hillbillies or antything else negative but instead these Heilun Ormur could considered the equivalent of a Hermit, except the term they use is "Socialable Hermits". the term throwback is apparently a desprictive term for the Heilun Ormur, as their ancestors were fond to living in moutainous areas or secluded regions where they could dig into the earth and establish a network of tunnels. Later on in history, the Heilun Ormur later went on to become miners apparently, as digging into the earth or doing "digging" of some kind appears to be a habit of there's, sometimes it's litteral and sometimes it's not. These Heilun Ormur can usually be found living the same kind of  mountainous areas like their ancestors in large families or groups, usually running private mines and trying to find valuable ore to sell and or hoard for money, which they are infamous for.

When Woged, a Heilun Ormur at first glance from far away can be mistaken for a Lausenschlange that is either light grey or a tan color that's almost caucasian. Up close however, one can obviously see that in place of scales, the Heilun Ormur actually have a series of horizontal segments covering their smooth and almost slender faces. Their facial features however, their noses and ears completely fade away with only their mouths which are impossible to see unless they speak. Their hearing however is incredible and is almost like if not beyond that of Grimm who has had his hearing "enhanced" by the parasitic worms of a Jinnamuru Xunte. As for their eyes, the Heilun Ormur's eyes remain closed during the day time hours and only fully open when it is completely pitch black as their eyes are extremely sensitive to light. The eyes resemble those of a Grey Alien, whose are portaryed with very large and opaque eyes that have no discrenible iris or pupil. Should the eyes be viewed though in some amount of light dim enough for them to be seen, then the person looking into them can see the dimly lit  bioluminescent fluids in their eyes which are colored as a dark grey. These fluids are believed by many Wesen to some how be connected to the regenerative abilities of the Heilun Ormur, so wesen like the  Jinnamuru Xunte sometimes attempt to target the Heilun Ormur and force their eyes open so they can try to cosume both their tears and the bioluminescent fluids in hopes of gaining healing abilities of their own. As a result the Jinnamuru Xunte and Heilun Ormur have a rivalry of sorts that is not utterly similar to the feud between the Blutbad and Bauerschwein but should these two wesen ever meet, fighting is bound to occur. However, because of their unique physiology the Heilun Ormur exist in a kind of "wesen witness protection program" where their movements and lives are watched by the Wesen Council who consider them "valuable" in terms of study and reserach.

Heilun Ormur behavior and personality wise are a non violent and altruistic species; they do not like to fight or resort to violence unless they find necessary. Male Heilun Ormur are extremely caring individuals and protective too. Attempting to harm someone close to a Heilun Ormur is one of the only ways to get out a violent response from them. Should they fight though, the Heilun Ormur will fight in a way that could be described as "enabling" as their goal is take away their enemies ability to fight. When it comes to relationships, heilun Ormur are usually drifitng from one relationship to another but as they get older they seem to settle down and start a family, sometimes with their own kind and sometimes with humans, resulting in half-human/half-wesen children being slightly common for their species. Half-Heilun Ormur offspring possess two qualities from their wesen parent; the large opaque eyes and the regenerative ability, beyond those two factors there is nothing else that else stands out. When their family has begun to grow outside of their spouse, they become extremely protective of their family to the point they keep tabs on them until they are convinced that their children are capable of living on their own.
