First appearance 10 Cloverfield Lane

The Mutant Space Worm is an alien creature created by Paramount Pictures who appears in the 2016 film 10 Cloverfield Lane.

Name

The Mutant Space Worm is not directly named in the film; its moniker comes from one of Howard Stambler's conspiracy theories, as explained by Emmett before its existence is known to the characters.

Appearance

The alien is a quadruped creature with hexagonal-shaped, grey, metallic armor. It has slender arms that end in three fingers and long hind legs. The head appears to be a nonexistent stub at first, but can open up into a false mouth which its true head comes out of. The true head is pale and leach-like, with four fang or horn-like structures on its top and bottom.

History

10 Cloverfield Lane

The destruction of Howard's bunker attracted the attention of an alien spaceship, which dropped down a Mutant Space Worm to investigate. Michelle was unable to start Howard's truck, and trying to open his neighbor's nearby car only set off its alarm. Hiding from the creature in a shed, she found the neighbor's remains and used her keys to distract the monster. As she ran towards the house, the Mutant Space Worm chased her for a time, then withdrew as the craft returned to spray her with toxic gas. She survived by putting the mask of her makeshift hazmat suit back on. Once the gas dissipated, the Mutant Space Worm attacked again, removing one of the truck's windows and her mask shortly thereafter. It retreated again, this time for good, after the spaceship extended a pair of tentacles to lift the truck off the ground.

Abilities

Retractable Teeth

The Mutant Space Worm's teeth are capable of puncturing and removing a car window without shattering.
