My group just started a bit of an overpowered campaign, and I understand this particular spell is a bit op what with the loss of rounds when there's a failed save. But thats not the question.
My question is pretty basic. Target 1 living creature is just that, target 1 living creature. So this spell could in theory target a giant worm as long as its living. If it were to be limited to humanoids, or intelligent creatures only it would be target humanoids, etc. Just looking for confirmation, another player wanted to give me a hard time on the subject, and I'm a pushover.

You fill a target with such profound remorse that it begins to harm itself. Each round, the target must save or deal 1d8 points of damage + its Strength modifier to itself using an item held in its hand or with unarmed attacks. If the creature saves, it is staggered for 1 round and takes a -2 penalty to Armor Class, after which the spell ends.
