Earthworm

Name

Earthworm

Appearance

The Earthworm is a small, unassuming critter that is typically slender and elongated, with a smooth, segmented body. Its color ranges from a dull brown to a muted beige, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its earthy surroundings. Measuring only a few inches in length, it is often overlooked by adventurers exploring the underground landscapes.

Behavior

Earthworms are non-aggressive creatures, opting for a life of simplicity and survival. They tend to wriggle through the soil and clay, aerating the ground as they go. Their primary instinct is to evade potential threats, making use of their speed to escape from predators. While they may appear insignificant, they play a vital role in the ecosystem by breaking down organic matter and enriching the soil.

Habitat

The Earthworm thrives in various underground environments, including the dark, rich soils of the Undergrounds, the damp and clay-filled passages of Clay Caves, and the lush, vibrant areas of Azeos' Wilderness. These habitats provide the perfect conditions for their existence, allowing them to burrow and move freely.

Interaction

When encountered, players may find that these worms offer little in terms of direct interaction. However, they can be collected and sold for a small profit (1 unit of currency), highlighting their status as a low-value critter. Despite their minimal impact on gameplay, they contribute to the game’s immersive environment, reminding players of the diverse life forms that inhabit the underground realms.
