'''Swamp worms''' are quick-moving, amphibious predators that can drag their enemies toward them. Their melee bite is nasty enough to be a threat to lightly-armored characters. They are common pests in [[the Swamp]], and appear in a handful of other water-themed [[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.

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.
