Tunneling pests of the dirt layer
Giant Worms are subterranean pests that burrow through dirt and stone blocks in the shallow Underground. Tunnelling smoothly through solid matter, they track players through vibrational cues, bursting out of cavern walls to surprise spelunkers digging vertical hellevators. With 30 health and 0 defense, their early presence demands vigilant attention.
Fending off tunneling coils and collecting novelty cushions
A collision with a Giant Worm's head deals 8 damage in Classic and 16 in Expert, though their low segment health makes them easy prey for broadswords and spears. Dispatching them offers a 2% chance to obtain the humorous Whoopie Cushion, which can be combined with cloud accessories at a tinkerer's workshop to assemble the Fart in a Jar.
Trivia
- Giant Worms emit audible rumbling sounds while traveling through nearby blocks.
- Unlike surface enemies, they are not obstructed by solid terrain.
