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 a crude indicator of its location and proximity. It also leaves a subtle particle effect in its trail.

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.

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 the player has a strong Pickaxe, such as the Nightmare Pickaxe or the Deathbringer Pickaxe, they could just keep mining and their pickaxe would eventually deal enough damage to kill the Giant Worm during its passes.
 * 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 spawnable even when not Underground.
