Caveworm

==Description==
Caveworms typically are found only in caves, but sometimes during a scripted event they will spawn in places outside of caves.
==Strategic Info==
While being rather weak physically, caveworms can be a deadly foe to face for the unprepared prospector. They will usually appear from the ground inside caves upon entering, and will after a few moments release a poisonous spit towards prospectors. Their poisoning shot can be easily dodged, but upon hitting terrain or even prospectors will cause area of effect(AoE) damage, which will also poison prospectors and will continue to stack causing increased tick damage for every stack. Keeping this in mind, before entering caves bringing along some sort of anti-poison medicine, such as , can prevent an unnecessary death.
Caveworm poison causes a prospector to take 3-5 damage in health points per tick, stacking up to five times. Additionally, the base movement speed is also reduced by " -15 ".
