Rainy surface hunting and ground rock foraging
Worms crawl across soil and grass tiles throughout surface Forest biomes, appearing in high numbers during rainy weather and whenever ambient background rocks are broken. Sweeping a Bug Net across muddy lawns lets players collect dozens within minutes without extensive preparation or mining. At a Heavy Work Bench with stone, players can craft a Worm Statue, or place one in a Terrarium for a Worm Cage.
Nightcrawler upgrading and angling staple
Providing 25% bait power, this critter serves as the foundational fishing bait throughout pre-Hardmode exploration. Combining a worm with a Fallen Star crafts an Enchanted Nightcrawler, raising its bait potency to 35% without requiring specialized crafting stations. Hoarding worms during rainy days ensures a continuous supply of high-grade bait for crates, quest fish, and ocean expeditions.
