# Look - there can't possibly have been enough gravity on the asteroid to maintain an atmosphere needed for a creature of that size to survive

# I'm lucky enough to have seen elephants in the wild
I was in a lakeside mountain lodge in Kenya. The elephants would come in the evening to drink in the lake, and they would all travel trunk to tail like in the circus! Even the baby ones. Awwwww.

# I see. Presumably the worms also have the same problem that inhabitants of undersea volcanoes do
Only certain asteroids are likely to be habitable, and the worm offspring would have to travel long distances to find new homes.

On the other hand, asteroid fields would have a large number of potential habitats..

More research needed, I think.
