From Wikipedia (hope there are no college professors reading this thread)...
Cestoda (Cestoidea) is the name given to a class of parasitic flatworms, of the phylum Platyhelminthes. Informally biologists refer to them as Cestodes.
A species evolved from intestinal worms would make a pretty good smuggler back story (or so I thought).
