Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Crawl's worms and gastropods are an assortment of enemies whose defining traits are moderately powerful attacks and mindless hunger. That said, they are generally quite slow and often have virtually no defenses to speak of, so most characters will not find them terribly difficult to handle. Much like Crawl's arthropods, they are largely weak to poison and lack endoskeletons, meaning they cannot be raised as skeletons.

Most of them have been removed over time, as they presented few challenges to competent players. Those that remain are known for having dangerous abilities that compensate for their slow speed.
