'''Swamp worms''' are aquatic predators, much like [[shark]]s and [[giant goldfish]] but faster and more powerful. They can deal significant damage to lightly armoured characters, but fortunately they are unable to reach you unless you're standing in or adjacent to water. They are common pests in [[the Swamp]], and appear in a handful of other [[vault]]s.

A large slimy worm, adept at swimming through the muck of this foul swamp.

“The fool, as I think, at the chasm’s brink,
Prone by the swamp or the marsh’s side,
Did, even as I, in the end rejoice,
Since the voice of death must be His true voice.”
-Arthur Edward Waite, “At The End of Things”. 1906.

Useful Info

Spells

Spell set I
Slot1 Harpoon Shot (2d13) Natural flag

Tips & Tricks

  • Thanks to Harpoon Shot, swamp worms can be big threats. They can pull you off the stairs, and/or pull you towards a pack of dangerous enemies. If you get pulled into a bad situation, don't be afraid to burn consumables or use god abilities.
  • Due to their low willpower, Hexes are very effective. A scroll of fear will prevent them from using Harpoon Shot.

History

  • Prior to 0.22, they could not use Harpoon Shot, but would submerge in water, rendering them invisible unless you were right next to them.
  • Prior to 0.18, they were unable to leave the water and follow you. They could also submerge again if you walked away from them.
