Worm


 * For the higher tier of the worm, see Scatha
 * For the sea creature fished up in the Goblin Holdout, see Water Worm

The Worm is a mob that spawns when mining inside the Crystal Hollows.

Spawning
The Worm has a chance to spawn when the player breaks blocks within a tunnel 1-? blocks wide, 2-? blocks high and ?+ blocks long, mole perk does not stop spawning. When the appropriate conditions are met, the Worm will have a chance to spawn upon breaking the next block.

After digging out a suitable tunnel, breaking the blocks at the player's eye level on the side can still trigger Worm spawns. Breaking the blocks at foot level will not trigger spawns but breaking below foot level will.

While spawning, they make a unique squelching sound 3 times, alerting players of their presence, and the message "" will appear in chat.

Behavior
They appear as a chain of heads with the same texture of the Scatha Pet. Every hit will remove 1 from their health, similarly to Spooky Festival mobs. They start off with a chain of 5 segments, and decrease by one each hit until killed.

Upon spawning, they will slither away from the player.

Trivia

 * Because the Armadillo Pet digs a 3 block high tunnel, it cannot spawn Worms unless digging at the very top of the Hollows.
 * Worms and Scathas are unaffected by Mayor Derpy's double mob HP perk.
