Mentioned In:
Straken

The Squirm was located on Ice Henge.

Description

The Squirm consisted of giant pillars of ice. These pillars would move, tilting in a series of thrusts and twists that mimicked the closing of jaws and the grinding of teeth. The pillars would smash into each other with booming explosions, shards of ice splitting off, new cracks forming in the ice. This continual movement would block and unblock the way through the channel.

History

Ilse Witch

When they arrived at the island of Ice Henge and found the bay in the cliffs, the Jerle Shannara crew journeyed down the channel and found the Squirm.

The Squirm was where Bek Ohmsford first used the Sword of Shannara.
