Supposedly those are tubifex worms. I don't really see the similarity, personally.
No, no, they are. They just don't have any mud to burrow into, so they wrap around each other in giant balls. Then when one of them contracts, it sends the whole ball into waves of convulsions purely out of instinct. We used to have these living in ditches on our street, and all you had to do was tap the water lightly with a stick and they'd all freak out and retract into the mud.
Ew.
Welp. I picked up the Vampire book that Guillermo del Toro wrote with Chuck Hogan and it turns out that the Vampires are caused by a worm-like parasite.
... that on top of this means I'm gonna have nightmares I think.
@Zelik: Yeah, pretty much. At least when there's a huge, throbbing mass of them. Less so when they're just poking out of the mud like they're supposed to.
@Dan: Non-parasitic. They basically just chow down on bacteria, sediments, and stray nutrients. Effectively, they serve the same function as catfish, just on a much smaller scale. Also, they're raised as fish food, though they're usually bright red when you find them in pet stores (or dark red if they're frozen). They're most commonly sold as "bloodworms". Okay, maybe that last bit doesn't really help distance them from the whole vampire thing...
