Audrey II and Wormwood

**“**Too hungry**”**
–Wormwood

**Audrey II and Wormwood** are a character introduced in Intestinal Obstruction, as Wormwood's Alternate State, unlocked by defeating the Ancient Herald as Wormwood during the Aporkalypse. Wormwood can be toggled between this and his default state on the character select screen, but it can't be changed during actual gameplay.

Audrey II and Wormwood are unique in that Wormwood's hands are permanently filled by Audrey II's pot, and Audrey II instead wields any weapons or tools for him, along with doing actions such as picking and crafting.

## Origin

**“**An unexpected eclipse followed by a full-on apocalypse brings the unlikely friendship of two beings who are uniquely together in being alone.**”**
–Lunar Roots II

We see a shot of a deep rainforest's canopy, and then pan down to the inside to see a juvenile Snaptooth. It's running through the rainforest to chase after its next meal, a dung beetle, until suddenly pausing as Wormwood walks by. Wormwood stops to wave happily, but the Snaptooth simply tilts its head and runs after the dung beetle again, causing Wormwood to frown and walk off in the other direction. Back up at the canopy, we see the sun and moon slowly line up perfectly and cause a solar eclipse, signifying the start of the Aporkalypse, along with a large swarm of Vampire Bats. But suddenly, back down in the rainforest, a strange humming sound and a bright flash of light accompany the appearance of a small plant resembling a flytrap, tucked right in among the jungle ferns. Wormwood peaks back into frame, then reacts in excitement when he sees the small plant.

Back at the survivors' camp, we see that this was all a story being told by Wormwood as he shows his friends the plant, now being kept in a pot. Wilson, incredibly skeptical, moves over to inspect the plant and pick at the leaves, which prompts it to bite him hard on the finger, drawing blood and causing him to jump back. The others start to laugh at him, especially Willow, as we zoom in on the strange plant... which gives a smile.

## Special Power

Audrey II and Wormwood share almost all perks with Wormwood's default state, except for the ability to craft Living Logs.

Being a carnivorous plant, Audrey II instinctively lunges out to attack any nearby creatures, and is even able to swallow small mobs whole, such as rabbits, spiders, and frogs. Any meat usually dropped by these mobs will instead be automatically digested by Audrey II, but items such as silk or spider glands will still be dropped normally.

Similarly to Fat Packim, Audrey II has a hunger meter that allows him to upgrade to more powerful forms by eating meat. With each level he upgrades, he'll gain attack and range, along with size, until eventually busting free of his pot at level 6 (750 hunger) and dragging Wormwood along for a 2 minute rampage.

### Disadvantages

Due to Wormwood's hands being full, he can't craft Living Logs like usual.

Since Audrey II automatically attacks mobs (and gobbles up any small animals,) it's impossible to befriend mobs like Pigs or Bunnymen, and incredibly difficult to obtain the resources for a Prestihatitator.
