Worm (Grabbed by the Ghoulies)

Worms are a type of Ghouly in Grabbed by the Ghoulies. They resemble large punk worms. Worms have orange eyeballs with black pupils and white-pinkish skin. They have teeth on the upper jaw of their mouth.

Behavior
Worms are a unique type of Ghouly. They will crawl around on their backs harmlessly, but if they are either attacked or even approached, they will turn themselves into ticking time bombs, with only 5 seconds until they explode. They do this by growing larger and standing up on their tail, hopping with a number on their head displaying the time they have left. They will then hop towards Cooper until they explode. If Cooper is standing still, then they would just stay there hopping on the spot.

Cooper can knock them back so that they explode away from him, however, they would just get up and hop back to him so it's best to hit them when they are at around 2-3 seconds left so they don't catch up as there faster than Cooper is. When exploding, they burst into a huge orange sphere with a proximity that would destroy any scenery and injure any individual if they were standing around 1-3 feet close to that worm. If Cooper is in the proximity of their explosion, he will be blown back and injured by 7 Heart Points.

Worms can also be killed without exploding. If Cooper shoots them with the Soda Pop Gun or throws a Temporary Weapon, they will die like other Ghoulies by disintegrating into a green imprint on the floor or ground, however, if any assault put to them that doesn't decrease them all of their Heart Points in one go, they will be able to turn into a bomb, as after doing so Heart Points will no longer become a factor. When a Worm explodes, it doesn't count as a kill for Cooper, but simply as suicide on its part.
