Spiny worm

Useful Info

Spiny worms are dangerous foes found in the Dungeon and the Lair, notable for hitting hard with acidic attacks and having decent durability. They also inflict strong poison in melee, but this is usually less of an issue. They are often found in "worm vaults" along with worms, brain worms, rock worms, and lindwurms, as well as occasionally in the Slime Pits.

Tips & Tricks

• Although dangerous, they are just barely slow enough for most characters to flee.
• If you have to go into melee with them, follow the usual rules for fighting acidic creatures. Resist corrosion will mostly protect your equipment from corrosion, artifact and heavily-enchanted gear resists more often than average gear, and having all your equipment slots filled will drop the acid damage you take drastically.
