Giant Worm

The Giant Worm is an Enemy that tunnels through blocks in the Underground and Cavern layers to attack the player. It makes a distinctive shuffling sound that grows louder and more rapid as it approaches the player, providing an indicator of its location and proximity. It also leaves a subtle particle effect in its trail. It only spawns in Pre-Hardmode worlds and is replaced by the Digger in Hardmode. However, in 1.4, it can still spawn in Hardmode.

Segments
The Giant Worm consists of 6-8 segments in total. Its head is more vulnerable to attacks than its body or tail, but also does more damage.

Devourers consist of 10-14 segments in total.

Tips

 * Spears are the quickest way to deal with Giant Worms early in the game, or any other weapon that can deal multiple hits at a time.
 * Using a Flaming Arrow against the Worm will set it on fire, making it easier to track.
 * If you have a Slime Gun and hit the Worm, the worm can be tracked easily due to the slime effect left by the Debuff.
 * Giant Worms can surprise new players due to being able to spawn even when the player is slightly above Underground.
