The Tazelwurm living at the school

This is the article about the species, you may be looking for the character also known by that name.

The Tazelwurms (pronounced as Ta-zel worms) or scientifically, Veranis Tazeekeeil (For the red one) are a lizard-like species native to the alps. In the universe of Detentionaire, one burgundy Tazelwurm is notably the mascot of A Nigma High. In Welcome to Factory Island two blue (either cyborg or robotic, it is unknown which) Tazelwurms were introduced guarding the underground laboratory of the Green Apple Splat Factory. In 28 Sneezes Later the School Mascot is revealed to be able to speak and sing in human languages, but this might have been a result of Lee's hallucination.

Cryptozoology

In the study of cryptozoology Tatzelwurms are said to live in several countries throughout Europe including Austrian, Bavarian, Italian and Swiss Alps. the Tatzelwurm is known by many names including, but not limited to, Praatzelwurm, Stollenwurm, Lindwurm, Springwurm and the Alpine Dragon. While many believe that the Tatzelwurm is a hoax some pieces of evidence has to this day left scientists baffled. Expeditions have been sent into the alphine regions to discover said beast, but like many cryptids (such as the Lochness Monster, Sasquatch, the Yeti, and the Kongamato) most scientists believe that the Tatzelwurm is a creature of legend.

ancestors of nowadays Tazel Wurms

(...)when Tazelwurms first walked the Earth (...) throughout time the Tazelwurm has been tassed as a protector, the safeguard to all things sacred. As the legend goes, the rarest Tazelwurm of all is, one of a kind, - The red one or voranastazicio. The rumour has it that the single whisker has the mysterious powers. In Ancient times it was used as a cure to even the most powerful of curses

Prior the series

Tazelwurms have been around sense prehistoric times and are said to be the protectors of sacred spots. They seem to have been plentiful and have inhabited Canada, (Disco History Times) Korea (The Tag Along) China, Greece and Egypt (Outcast Times at A Nigma High) as time went on however it seems that the Tazelwurms have grown into an endangered species.

Most were unaware of their being other Tazelwurms other than the school mascot. To the contrary the mascot is stated to be a even rarer subspecies of Tazelwurm. Lee Ping Speculates that the blue Tazelwurms were once good after finding a file lablled "Tazelwurm Reprogramming" which also gave details of their conversion into Cyborgs.

At one point prior to the founding of A Nigma High, Alexander Nigma found a Tazelwurm and it became his pet and school mascot. When Nigma passed away however the Tazelwurm became very hard to control, but is still considered to be safe enough to keep as a school mascot, despite the fear that he induces in the student body.

Season One

The most prominent Tazelwurm in the series is A Nigma High's very own mascot a rare Red Tazelwurm. Despite it's reputation as a fearsome beast it is in fact progressively shown to be highly intelligent, human level or above, and has proven himself an invaluable ally to Lee Ping and his investigation to clear his name.

Underneath the Green Apple Splat Factory were at least two blue robotic (or cyborg) Tazelwurms that were apparently guarding the lab underneath the Factory how long they were down their is unknown but it is believed that they were killed by Barrage saving his students when he electrocuted them and smashed them against a wall.

Season Two

Other Blue Tazelwurms also dwell under the school presumable guarding the mysterious magnetic pyramid in the laboratory beneath the school, they have however become cyborg-slaves to the Coral Grove cult acting like maddened guard or attack dogs.

Subspecies/Colouring

Throughout World's history at least once existed few different Tazelwurms subspecies:

  • Yellow - were the first creatures walking on the Earth's surface
  • White (or pale blue) - existed during, approximately, Jurassic Era
  • Green[citation needed]
  • Black Tazelwurm was shown on a Greek vase, however it is unknown whenever such Tazelwurms existed or the depiction was simply dependant on an pottery technique known as black-figure style which existed in ancient Greece at that time.

In the modern day only two colours of Tazelwurms are shown:

  • the blue Tazelwurms which have become cyborg-slaves to the Coral Grove Cult and protects the mysterious magnetic pyramid underneath the Outcast's table
  • the Red Tazelwurm who serves as A Nigma High's mascot. This species is also associated with territory of Asia, especially Korea.
