Giant Worm

The Giant Worm is an Underground enemy that tunnels through blocks to attack the player, spawning in the Underground and Cavern layers. It makes a distinctive shuffling sound that grows louder and more rapid as it approaches the player, providing an indicator of its presence and proximity. It also leaves behind a subtle particle effect in its trail.
On versions, it only spawns in pre-Hardmode and is replaced by the Digger 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.

== Notes ==
* The Giant Worm's body and tail do the least damage of all current Enemies, but due to its large size, it is capable of striking a player multiple times in a single pass.
* The Giant Worm does not take damage from Lava.
== Tips ==
* Spears are the quickest way to deal with Giant Worms early in the game, along with 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 Slime Gun and hits the Worm, it can also be tracked more 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.
