Worm

A Worm is a long, segmented, tube-shaped annelid that is commonly found living in soil or underground areas. They feed on live and dead organic matter. Worms are hermaphroditic invertebrates, lacking a skeleton but maintaining their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton. Worms are very small, about 3 inches long, and they have a soft and slimy texture to their bodies.

Description
In the Worms series, the Worms are the creatures you can customize and control during battles against your opponent(s). The Worms in the series appear to be far more humanoid than real-life earthworms, and also very cartoon-ish. Unlike actual earthworms, the current design of the Worms in the series have large eyes, small, floating eyebrows, a mouth (with teeth), large, floating hands with only four fingers (with no fingernails or arms connected to their hands), and a tail. They also seem to have a skeleton, but still referred to as invertebrates in the games. They also have no nose or ears. In this current design, the Worms are pinkish. However, their original design from the first generation Worms games is different. They appear slightly more intimidating and maniacal on the box art and the like, but during game-play it's difficult to point out the details due to the pixelated graphics of 80's-90's video games. In their original design on the box art, they still look somewhat cartoon-ish, but their body is longer and the shape of their body resembles a real earthworm much more than the current design. They are a reddish color instead of pinkish, their eyes are smaller, they have a large nose, and they have arms but mitten-like hands instead of actual fingers like the current design. Their hands are also smaller. During game-play, they are pink, their eyes are large, they still seem to have a nose, they probably have arms, and their hands are probably still mitten-shaped like in the box art. They also appear to be wearing green army vests. Worms can also speak in the games. They usually have a high-pitched voice with a British accent. You can change their voice, though. Their voices also come in different languages. It is worth noting that they cannot swim, and avoid water whenever necessary.

The most popular Worm is Boggy B, as he is technically the main protagonist of the series. He supposedly died in Wormsong 1999 (the title theme of Worms Armageddon). Spadge, the possible deuteragonist of the series, is another popular character, but died in the original Wormsong. Clagnut and Suzette are also notable characters in the series, and they are both related to Boggy B - Clagnut is Boggy B's nephew (proven in Wormsong 2003, main theme of Worms 3D), while Suzette is Boggy B's younger sister. Boggy B and Suzette are also playable characters in Worms Blast.
