*[http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Mind_Worms Mind worms] are horrible creatures from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meier's_Alpha_Centauri Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri], where they are known to strike fear into armies for their ability to paralyze opponents from a distance with psi blasts, then burrow into their skull and make them suffer from delusions and nightmares until the worm finishes consuming their brain or laying ravenous larvae. *Mind worm boils are meant to be colonies of smaller mind worms, rather than the singular ones currently implemented in IVAN CVS.*Two other variants of mind worm exist in Alpha Centauri:**Isle of the Deep, which is a sea-based colony of mind worms.**Locusts of Chiron, which are flying mind worms.
