Disgusting Worms are big, mutated worm enemies found in the Toxic Sewers and the Ancient Sewers.

Behavior

Disgusting Worms move quickly once they spot the player and will bite them in melee. When killed, they drop six bombs which will then explode.

Moveset

Bite

Description: A short-ranged melee attack.
Can be blocked, parried, and dodge rolled.

Spite bombs

Description: Drops six explosives when killed which explodes in a random sequence.
The bombs can be repelled before they explode.
The explosions can be blocked or parried.

Strategy

Generally, staying out of its range then attacking it is a valid option, as their melee attack has very short range. This attack has a tricky timing to parry, with some delay, so try not to parry it too early.
Disgusting Worms have an ability to jump over small horizontal gaps to reach the player, after a long delay, so beware that this does not catch you off-guard.
The dash ability of the Assault Shield, Armadillopack, Magnetic Grenade and Wave of Denial can reflect all the bombs instantly. Tornado will also reflect all bombs it passes over.
Beware killing a Disgusting Worm near a ledge (or letting it die of damage-over-time effects). The bombs have some horizontal spread when they spawn, so can fall down cliffs and then explode.
