巨蛇教是盘踞在胜利公园站的食人族的宗教，由一个心理学教授和他的同事创立，They only appear in the novel.
概覽[]
The cult is encountered in the novel when a boy from Kievskaya, Oleg, the son of Anton, is kidnapped to be integrated into the cult. When Artyom goes searching for the boy he is captured himself, and learns of the malicious religion.
The Great Worm Cult was formed after a number of estranged cultists kidnapped and brainwashed children from several stations (notably, Kievskaya) to serve under their god, the Great Worm. According to the myth that is told to the children, 大虫神在地球上挖掘了许多隧道，莫斯科地铁就是隧道的一部分；同時创造了人类和其他生物，然后离去前往了地底深处，但是声明他有一天会回来。
The primitive cultists are fiercely xenophobic and technophobic, considering any and all who enter their territory "People of Machines", enemies fit only for cannibalization. These beliefs are rooted in those of their priests, who blame the war of 2013 on technology. 定期地，祭司会带领教徒前往通向D6的隧道进行宗教活动，去朝拜大虫，但在其他日期进入隧道也被明令禁止。The Great Worm Cult is one of a notable hierarchy, all children follow under the guidance of elderly priests and a lesser second class of hypnotists, who try to convert people they encounter over to the way of the Great Worm. While the hypnotist encountered had decent effect on Melnik and the Stalkers during their rescue and the approach to D6, Oleg, was apparently resistant to hypnotism, as commented on by the priest.
By the end of 2033, the cult seems all but eliminated. The cult is fought off, and it's leaders captured, if only for them to deliver nihilistic confessions over their religion and warnings about the evils in D6 before committing suicide. There is the possibility that, after the event of Metro 2033, the station where the followers of Great Worm Cult reside is completed isolated from the Metro. During the retreat of the rescue team lead by Melnik, after they manage to save Artyom and Anton from the followers, they are forced to cover their escape throwing a grenade. This indirectly causes a column that supported the station front to fall, trapping the followers of the Great Worm Cult and likely leaving them all to starvation.
Trivia[]
- Despite the fact that the cult leader explains to the Stalkers the falsehoods of the Great Worm and his religion, Artyom is shocked by a large unknown moving object behind a door in D6. Even after Pavel suggests the idea of a drilling rig passing by to him though his doubts remain - leaving the existence of a real Great Worm a mystery.
- It could possibly be the Metro 2 Automatic Train that could possibly be still running after all these years. Certainly, when the Rangers capture D6, the train is operational.
- The Great Worm Children speak a very simplified form of Russian, probably due to their isolation.
