Grave Wyrm
The Grave Wyrm is a vast underground brainleaf plant in Navis Mortis on Necromunda, which extends its tendrils for hundreds of kilometers, infiltrating numerous wrecks.[2b]
Overview
During Necromunda’s winter, the plant lies dormant, allowing gangs to raid the infested ships, though they risk encounters with brainleaf zombies. Some, like Orlock Road Boss Ajax Bones, have attempted to kill the Grave Wyrm, only to disappear or succumb to its influence.[2b]
As Necromunda enters its summer cycle, the Wyrm awakens. Amid seasonal ash storms and sporadic sunlight, hordes of brainleaf zombies—comprising ash wasters, scavengers, and the dead ship crews—emerge to expand the Wyrm’s dominion. Pilgrim’s Grave has faced five attacks, with defenders barely repelling the increasingly larger hordes each time. The Noctus, however, remains safe, its formidable defenses and the Mhungan's laughter keeping the zombies at bay.[2b]
