This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.
A gigantic version of its tiny cousin, this long, slimy creature tunnels through the rocks deep underground.

Giant earthworms are massive and fairly rare worms found in the first and second layer of the caverns. As heavy as a grizzly bear, these creatures will attack dwarves who provoke them with push attacks, and they are large enough for these to cause heavy damage on unarmored peasants.

Giant earthworms have a pet value of 500, but lack the necessary tokens to be trainable. They give a significant amount of returns when butchered, and products made from them are twice more valuable than products made with normal animal parts, making giant earthworm hunting a profitable decision for a fortress.

They can't be spawned in the object testing arena.

Some dwarves like giant earthworms for their awesome presence.
