A jumara, also known as a Worm,^[1] is a type of Shadowspawn that was created by Aginor sometime before or during the War of Power, currently found in the Blight. The jumara are merely a larval stage to an even more horrible and dangerous type of Shadowspawn, the nature of which is unknown; the jumara that currently plague the Blight will never transform.^[2]

Jumara are extremely dangerous. They appear as large worms and their movement makes a very loud squishing sound. Traveling in packs called Wormpacks, a person can hear jumara cry to one another, a chorus reedy and shrill. A jumara can kill a Myrrdraal; most of the terrifying creatures in the Blight will flee from a jumara, although jumara themselves are scared of that which lives in the high passes.^[1]

Jumara are very effective at overtaking prey. In order to survive an encounter with jumara, the Worm must be cut to pieces.^[1]
