Glowing mushroom caverns and stealth capture
Spawning on mud blocks inside Underground Glowing Mushroom biomes after Hardmode begins, this glowing subterranean worm flees at high velocity whenever players approach. Utilizing invisibility potions, grappling hooks, or sudden drops with a Bug Net or Golden Bug Net prevents the creature from escaping into dark crevices.
Summoning Duke Fishron along Ocean boundaries
Functions exclusively as boss bait to summon Duke Fishron when cast from coastal Ocean edges. Despite carrying 666% bait power, it never catches ordinary fish or crates; reeling in Ocean water initiates the boss battle. Casting the worm into inland lakes or caves yields no bites and consumes the creature.
Trivia
- Flees from approaching characters at 26 mph, making stealth or quick mobility useful for capture.
- Cannot hook common fish or crates, existing purely to awaken Duke Fishron in the Ocean.
