A mutalisk extruding a glaive wurm
The glaive wurm, or glave wurm, is a semi-sentient[1] parasite utilized by mutalisks. Mutalisks attack by firing the parasites[2] with great force.[1] The parasites may bounce off and strike multiple targets while disintegrating explosively.[2]
The glaive wurms are launched from a mutalisk's modified ovipositor.[3] They trace their origins to the glave parasite, which bonded with the mantis screamers prior to their assimilation by the zerg.[1]

The glaive wurm was originally intended as a queen weapon during pre-release versions of StarCraft.[4] It ended up being used as the primary weapon of the mutalisk.
