The "Crawling Serpentine Horror" was the only known lifeform on an isolated asteroid, somewhere on the Solar System. It had a single, blazing eye, tentacles functioning as legs and a long tail. The creature was much larger than a human being and probably had superhuman strength. It hibernated beneath the surface in an "ageless sleep".
Its sleep ended when Comet Pierce crash-landed on its asteroid. The creature swiftly approached the unconscious human and was about to eat him. It failed to locate Laraina, who was approaching it from another side. A single-shot from her "heat gun" was enough to kill the Horror. It erupted in a "white-hot blast of blood and flame".
