Screaming Worms

The Worms

Shrieking worms that flow continuously out of Carl's nose as a lingering debuff after the blast.

Story so far

Among the debuffs still riding Carl after he reassembles himself in the Temple of Khepri are screaming worms, which flow steadily out of his nose. He wipes another away while giving Bigs her orders in the corridor.

They don't seem to hurt or attack him — but it isn't pleasant either. They persist alongside his locked knees and finger suction cups even after the Emberus Ring catches up and contains the Slugpox and several other debuffs.

Appearance

Small worms that crawl and pour continuously from the nostrils, audibly screaming.

Role

A persistent cosmetic-but-grotesque debuff Carl carries through the escape.

Relationships

Carl — Flow from his nose throughout the escape.
Emberus Ring — Contains other debuffs but not these.
