FYI - I'VE SOLD THE RIGHTS TO THIS CHARACTER AND HE'S NO LONGER MINE

This is a new character of mine, the computer worm Annihilid - a play on "annihilate" and "annelid" which is the scientific term for a ringed worm.

Like Thorn he's a nasty, mischievous malware program who relishes his nefarious functions. Being a worm, he can't infect files or programs, but he CAN hack and reprogram them, as well as mess with system settings and functions. Sometimes he destroys systems or entire networks just for fun, or renders them extremely frustrating and difficult to use with copious slowdown, random errors and such. He spreads by making drone-like weaker copies of himself, which propagate through e-mail, USB drives and other removable storage, and internet/website exploits. The drones share a hive mind which is controlled and commanded by the main program and update periodically along with the master program.
