Supernatural Worms

This page describes various unnatural types of worms seen across the franchise.

Worms 2
Aliens as a weapon were first seen on a screenshot from Worms 2, suggesting that sending an UFO is a secret weapon in the game, however, these rumours turned out to be fake and screenshot was photoshopped.

Worms 3D
Alien worms appeared on a few missions in the game, although there's no difference between them and normal worms.

Worms 4: Mayhem
Main article: Alien Abduction

Worms 4 introduced a special weapon which summons an UFO that will appear from a portal and release a beam that will suck any uncovered worms underneath into a space ship. Abducted worms will be released shortly after, but as an aliens.

Alien worms have light blue skin and empty eyes. They will lost all their clothing, won't speak (even when dying) and won't interact with normal worms nor look in their direction. Aliens will sometimes look at other aliens and release a blue beam from their heads, propably symbolizing a telekinetic conversation.

After each turn, alien worm's health will randomly raise and drop, when controlled alien worms will randomly teleport around which can lead them to land in a water or on a mine.

Aliens can be turned back into normal worms by either collecting a health crate or getting poisoned.

Trivia

 * Aliens in Worms 4 can release the beam to any other aliens, including enemies turned into aliens.
