What do Elder Worms look like without the armored suits?

I started to wonder why an Elder Worm wears a power armor suit.
I had always assumed it is because they are a literal worm without limbs and that's why they wear the suits, so they have hands and the ability to walk.
Someone suggested that it's because only their head transforms and they retain a humanoid body.
But after examining one of their suits closely, that theory didn't hold up:
As you can see here, it is a fully mechanical limb, there is no organic limb inside the armor.
So they must be actual worms.
Has it ever been stated or shown what an Elder Worm looks like without it's armor?

My super cool CC build and how to use it.
In the Soul Siphon Alert, you're tasked with stopping a villain from activating an Elder Worm artifact that transforms people into Elder Worms. The worms that the civilians are transformed into are likely what most Elder Worms look like without their power armor.

These days they probably have a factory that churns them out.
I wonder at what point they used technology though.
Before that time, it might have been just a regular suit of armor that they had to move with their psychokinetic abilities.
Which might have put them at a disadvantage, since some of their mental power was being used to animate the armor, they couldn't use it all to fight with.
Probably another reason they invented the power armor suits, if it moves by itself, then you can dedicate all your mental abilities to defense or offense.
Another possiblity is that they had their human slaves construct it for them.
Either through mind control or threat of death.
On occasion, they have mentioned they keep slaves, probably to do all the menial/heavy manual labor they feel is beneath them.
Those creatures in the video aren't Elder Worms, they're Annelid Worms, the equivalent of an trained attack animal.
You sometimes see them around Elder Worms.

They all thought I was out of the game....But I'm holding all the lockboxes now..
I'll......FOAM FINGER YOUR BACK!
Although, technically, aren't they already a canned worm?
They are in a metal suit after all!
Add that to the list of Elder Worm phobias, a can opener!
I'm just going out to taunt them with one.
That picture of the spaceship was interesting, I didn't think they had spaceflight capability.
From what the lore says ingame, they've always lived on this planet.
I am wondering though, if they had the capability, would they start spreading their conquest to other planets as well?

The Elder Worm enslaved early homo sapiens and conducted various experiments on them, including forced inter-breeding. (Yeah, I don't like to imagine that either.)
There are a few other enclaves of Elder Worm and their servant races hidden on other planets, some hibernating, others active. Some of them retain samples of their technology, including spacecraft, which if assembled together would be formidable. The Slug is unaware of them, but a few of these enclaves have sensed their leader's awakening, and if they learned his location would flock to his banner.
Elder Worm technology is very powerful, but quite alien-seeming to Humans for several reasons, not the least of which is that it often incorporates Qliphothic magic.
