The Great Depths Worm is a Don't Starve Together exclusive hostile Mob found in the Caves that currently replaces periodic worm attacks, similar to Varglets.

Behavior

When the Worm is engaged with a player, it'll chase them and attempt to bite them, it's movement speed is very similar to a default character's so this chase sequence tends to last a while, if it's hit it does 30 thorn damage to the character. if it hits any structures on the way, player built or not, it'll destroy them, if it bites into any items or certain enemies on the way, it'll pause to eat them, the time depends on wether it was an item or an enemy. If it eats certain player-sized enemies like Pigs, Merms and Bunnymen it will pause for a while to digest them, producing 3 manure in the process and having a massive window for damage or healing during the "stun". if it eats irreplacable objects such as Pearl's Pearl or The Eye Bone it will try to chew on them and ultimately throw them up. It can eat multiple players/enemies/items at once, this does not result in a longer stun nor more manure production.

If the player has too little HP left to survive the series of worm attacks inflicts on them as the player passes through the digestive system, the player will have 1 HP remaining.

Tips

• Player can drop items in front of the worm or on top of its emerging spot to make it forcefully eat them, making a small window for damage or healing
• When playing as Wanda it's significantly more dangerous as the digestion attack can kill her, due to her health mechanics.
• However, Wanda can outrange the thorn effect the worm has with her alarming clock, so she can get damage in at any time as long as avoiding the digestion attack.
• While HIGHLY risky, WX-78 can equip 3 Electrification Circuits and intentionally get swallowed a few times. This results in the worm taking massive damage. The same works with the Bramble Husk but needs a few of them.
• Having the worm eat a teammate or a follower may be helpful as it stays still for significantly longer.

Trivia

• The worm can eat certain NPCs, such as Crabby Hermit, Corvus Goodfeather and Wagstaff
• If the worm eats Gunpowder that's on fire, it'll take the damage the gunpowder would've done while its inside it.
• The worm is not wet, which is the case for regular depth worms.
• The worm cannot sleep, nor be frozen or teleported.
• It can eat Shadow Atriums and Distilled Knowledge and character specific items such as the Codex Umbra or Bernie.
• Certain character quotes hint at it possibly being an extinct species that was brought back to life by SOMETHING, those being WX-78's, Wendy's and Maxwell's
