## Overview

The Loopworm is an entity that resides in Level 2, being the boss within the level and the first one in the entire game. The Loopworm will summon worshippers of it and attempt to obscure its location with a tan-colored mist. You can cut off its lifeline, being the pipes to kill it.

## Biology

The Loopworm has a body which is veiled in ebon scales, absorbing every trace of light and blending seamlessly with the shadows of its subterranean chamber. The most arresting detail on this mysterious being is the ethereal spiral pattern gracing its face in a ghostly white. This eerie marking stands out distinctly amidst the darkness, evoking a haunting, human-like countenance.

## Behavior

The Loopworm is a truly repugnant creature that resides in a dark and foul-smelling chamber on Level 2. It lies and waits within the dimly lit sewers, ready to ambush any unsuspecting adventurer who enters its lair and turns a valve on its makeshift pedestal. The Loopworm can summon its devoted followers, known as the Loopworm Worshippers. These cultists are completely devoted to their monstrous leader and obediently swarm through the chamber when called upon.

Protected by their unholy leader, these deranged followers emerge from the mist surrounding the Loopworm, their eerie empty faces peering through the damp sewers as they approach their intended victim menacingly. To increase the threat, the grotesque Loopworm uses a vile secret weapon, releasing a thick, tan-colored mist that obscures the location of its worshippers, causing confusion and disorientation for any brave hero attempting to fight back. Though the mist is harmless, it is still hard to see through due to its thickness.

Defeating this abominable creature is a necessity, requiring you to sever its lifeline using your trusty axe. In this case, the Loopworm's lifeline consists of a series of pipes that can be opened if you can overcome the relentless onslaught of its worshippers, or until the given set of time runs out, opening them anyway. It's crucial to cut all four of these pipes to ensure the ultimate demise of the Loopworm.

## Tips

* The Loopworm’s worshippers are best not to fight directly, as they do hefty amounts of damage and are hard to kill. Instead, avoid them as much as possible and strike the pipes with your axe when they’re open.
* The Loopworm’s fog is harmless, but is still best to be avoided as it obscures your vision.
* Do not camp near the pipes, as the Loopworm Worshippers can easily corner you and do large amounts of damage to you.
