Going to other planets to continuously expand as a species and to appropriate anything and everything they can from the dominate species of these planets by killing and replacing them to make up for their relative stupidity.
So, I don't disagree with you (that's definitely their overall behavior: multiply, replace, repeat), but that in and of itself is a huge narrative problem. For a season-long plot to have any momentum to it, there needs to be more at play
emotionally
than just survival or extermination. Without the Worms having a perspective, a voice, a strategy, a consistent metaphor,
anything
... I mean, what in that struggle is worth paying attention to? It's the difference between fly-fishing and Moby Dick.
And, to use your example, Gaim knew that Helheim itself wasn't a super compelling threat, so the show had a variety of warring Riders (if you'll pardon the term) as well as Helheim survivors. Helheim was background noise, baseline threats, not the narrative engine of the series.
