Giant Worm

The Giant Worm is an enemy which tunnels through the ground in the Underground and Cavern layers to attack the player. During a Blood Moon, it can also burrow through your house. It makes a distinctive shuffling sound that grows louder and more rapid as it approaches the player, providing a crude indicator of its location and proximity when unseen. It also leaves behind a subtle particle effect in its trail, revealing its location and direction. The head is more vulnerable to attack than the body or tail, but also does more damage.

As with nearly all worm enemies, loot is dropped from the head segment. This means that if the finishing blow is landed on the middle or end segments, the drops may require a bit of mining to collect.

Segments
Giant Worm consist of 6-8 segments in total.
