Nether Silverfish Variant

Now I was thinking of some sort of "Bone Worm" for the new 1.16 Nether Update. This could be a sort of nether silverfish variant or its own thing, but the point of it would be that it lives within the bone blocks of the giant skeletons in the soul sand valleys and so if you dare to collect some of that sweet sweet marrow, you might get something a little more buggy...

    Since bone blocks also spawn in the overworld, they could also spawn there as well!

    Clone3A7 It is actually called a bone serpent, so this guy is fine with the name.

    Not a bad idea. The end already has its silverfish variant so why not? The name could be improved to something less generic.

    You could possibly call it a "Fossilite," for example, since it's a parasite-like creature living inside the bones of giant Nether fossils.

    Ominous, gross, and creepy. Mysterious, too. I love it already!

    Could there possibly be a variation that lives in the nether fortress, just like the stronghold and it’s silverfish blocks?

    Along the lines of a new silverfish variant, they could inhabit Ancient Debris or Blackstone.
