earthborn adj. 2015 E. Colfer Forever Man iii. 55 On Garrick’s last immersion, he had gone deeper than any earthborn being ever had, apart from a prehistoric earthworm who had entered through a rift brought on by a major volcanic eruption, which happened to coincide with extreme levels of solar radiation.
