'''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.
