The artery worm was a tiny, vicious worm native to Dathomir. During the time of the Galactic Republic, Artery worms were a torture method favored by the Nightsisters of Dathomir involved force feeding^[1] or injecting the victim with^[1] liquid containing artery worms.^[2] When ingested, an artery worm would burrow through its host's veins, "turning them to molten fire" (according to the Witches) as it digested them.^[1] A Nightsister would survive after a day of torture; but others would die, unless they were given a potion containing witch blood, which would rid the victim of the worms, provided they hadn't reached their heart.^[1]
