The Sima {Sigh mah} [Pulchra Filum]] is a Mongonoid species, which was brought to Sparkalia by the Mongons. Due to their similarity to worms and snakes in shape, they are often referred to as Mongon worms, or even sometimes snakes, though the latter is less common. They are long creatures, relatively thin for their length. Despite their wormlike appearance, they are in fact vertebrates, possessing a centrally located and extremely flexible spine.
The Sima are versatile radiation feeding creatures. Like all Mongonoids, they consume only water and radiation, often mixed with water. Due to their very high surface area to mass ratio, they are one of the few Mongonoid species that are able to effectively survive off of passively absorbing radiation in a standard Domain environment.
A versatile creature, they can be found almost anywhere in the Glowing Coast, and sometimes are even found in the sea. However, like many Mongonoids species, they are fairly sensitive to water based pollution, which combined with a lack of an energy source in most water, prevents them from expanding outwards.
