Worm

The Worm is a tier 1 animal.

Mechanics[edit | edit source]

There are no animals that evolve into worms, as they are a tier 1 animal.
Worms evolve into lampreys.
- 4,000 XP is required for a worm to evolve into a lamprey.
Worms do not drop any meat, but instead yield XP upon being eaten.
As a worm, friendly fire is turned off for other worms, oarfish, and all tier 10 animals: meaning you cannot damage them nor be damaged by them.
- Despite friendly fire being turned off for stonefish, you can still be damaged and even killed by their barbs.
- Your best food sources are algae, yellow algae, and grapefruits(you can hide in islands for grapefruits)

The suitable biomes for a worm are the ocean, the arctic, the deeeep, and the swamp.
- If a worm enters the ocean surface, the arctic surface, or the swamp surface it will lose oxygen.

This is a complete list of food that worms can eat.

Name	Can be eaten by	XP	Description
Barb	All except for the stonefish who spawned it	0	Spawns behind a stonefish using their active ability. Deals damage upon eating it (7% of max life). Poisons anyone who eats it with a base DPS of 10% that lasts 5 seconds (except poison-immune animals). Despawns after 4 seconds.
Bird Poop	All except for lamprey and seagull	10	Affected by gravity. Automatically spawns below any seagull every 10 seconds.
Plankton	All	25	Spawns in the ocean.
Dam Food	Tier 1 to tier 7	35	Spawns underneath beaver dams.
Ice	All	50	Spawns in the arctic and deeeep.
Algae	Oarfish, penguin, tier 1 to tier 6 except lamprey	50	Spawns on the ocean floor.
Yellow Algae	Oarfish, penguin, tier 1 to tier 6 except lamprey	50	Spawns on the floors of the arctic and deeeep.
Apple	Tier 1 to tier 8 except lamprey and pelican	50	Spawns in trees.
Berry	Tier 1 to tier 8 except lamprey and pelican	50	Spawns in bushes.
Volcano Food	All except lamprey	125	Affected by gravity, floats upwards. Spawns out of volcanoes, which can be hidden in and are located in the arctic and the deeeep. When eaten as an animal that is not suited to the arctic, it will replenish some of your temperature.
Meat	All	1000	Spawns where an animal dies (tier 2 to tier 10 animals only). The amount of meat that spawns depends on what animal it was.

This is a complete list of terrain that worms can hide in.
