Hybrid worms, Bobbit/Bristle worms evolved a hybrid which flourished and eventually became terrestrial as many worms do.
Giant Worms that being omnivorous eat anything but prefer meat or carrion. Living together they rely on their spiny hairs that hold a toxin that is very painful and cause inflammation and soreness for days. These worms are quite bold as they have very good defenses and are aggressive as well.
Thriving in the jungles and warm seasides they become a pest at times when they find a farm and eat the crops or animals. Being worms they can eat most anything and will bring an animal to bare bones easily. Bogas worms are amphibious as well, unable to stay indefinitely but a hour or more easily.
Some plants and insecticides keep the pests away as well as smoke and fires. Anyone unlucky enough to run into these worms can be fatally stung when in mass and bitten. The bite isn’t poisonous but can sever fingers with ease. They may also find one while asleep as they wander in the night.
Being large at 6-25ft and an average of 6-10 inches thick and bigger if well fed. They can also climb with ease and search for prey up in the trees. Breeding is an easy affair, they gather and expel their sperm and eggs into the mud during rainy seasons and plant the eggs under the mud.
The young are faster and more deadly as they feed on plants and some insects they build up toxins that make them more dangerous. Older as they grow the same toxins are now at a less concentrated form so milder in it's effects.

The sixties was a looonnnggg time ago, what little I can remember is a mass of worm-like things was recorded by a missionary on the upper banks of an Amazon tributary, he watched as they engulfed a ?Tapir? and ate it down to its bones in minutes, then retired to the waters. Beyond that, I am afraid that my memory is too old and I no longer have that publication. I THINK that it was one of Frank Edwards Stranger that Science trilogy and my father tore them up the moment he saw them, without bothering to read them They were not 'The Bible or a School Book.' So you get an idea of the life I grew up in.
