Gravestone

A Gravestone is an object created when a Worm dies.

Creation
When a Worm runs out of health, it will blow itself up and the Gravestone selected for the team will appear in the exact location of the Worm. The explosion from this is stronger than the Bazooka in some games, and may kill other Worms and cause a chain reaction. No Gravestone is created if a Worm dies by drowning in the water at the bottom of the level, or if it uses Kamikaze.

Use
The use of a Gravestone varies between games, and the Gravestone does not always have a use, but a Gravestone can be used to resurrect a Worm with a Lightning Strike (3rd generation games onwards), or to obtain a random weapon from the dead Worm's inventory using Gravedigger (4th generation games). The explosion upon death may occasionally cause the attacker, or any other user nearby to die, and it puts a hole in the landscape if the terrain can be destroyed.
