## Appearance

Wormsworth is a colorful intimating insect creature based off of numerous bugs/arachnids. She does not have legs and uses a thin greenish-blue/pink "leg" with light green spots as a part used to attach herself onto ceilings. Her body then goes into a large spider's thorax with four spider legs and red to orange Negati patterns. Her body then goes into butterfly wings and with a caterpillar body connecting from the wings/thorax to her head. She wears a web ruff/collar on her neck and has eyeglasses-like attachments on her head which each side has one of her multicolored eyes. She also has a large eyelash for each eyes and a head that on the top, looks like a flower with petals and pistils.
