Venom Grubs of [[Vortis]] were the living weapons of the [[Zarbi]], at that time controlled by the [[Animus]], in their war against the [[Menoptra]]. They measured approximately two meters in length and half a meter high. The grubs ejected jets of venom from a pointed orifice located beneath their eyes. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Web Planet]]'')
"Venom grub" was also the name given to the [[larvae gun]]s in [[Bill Strutton]]'s novelisation of ''[[Doctor Who and the Zarbi (novelisation)|The Web Planet]]''.
