Players assemble this glowing bait by hand without crafting stations, combining a common Worm with a single Fallen Star in the inventory. Specimens can also spawn naturally across grassy terrain during nighttime meteor shower events. Placing one inside a Terrarium yields an Enchanted Nightcrawler Cage that functions as an animated, light-emitting terrarium display.
Upgraded potency and angling advantages
Offering 35% bait power, this worm represents a 10% improvement over standard garden worms that offer only 25% bait. The higher rating lowers bait consumption probability while boosting crate catch chances across all bodies of water and biomes. Because stars fall every evening and worms appear during rainstorms, combining them ensures a steady reservoir of pre-Hardmode fishing bait that remains viable even through early Hardmode.
Trivia
Loose specimens emit subtle blue particles that reveal their position on dark surfaces.
Unlike regular worms, these enchanted variants can spawn during nighttime meteor showers.
