- Has 250 HP. It attacks both directly, attacking the player from underground, and indirectly, summoning its mini-worm minions, which jump out from underground and attack random players.

🎬 Showcase
🛠️ Compatibility
❗This datapack will not work correctly on servers with Spigot/Paper. (not relevant since v1.1)
❗This datapack may have problems with other datapacks/mods that somehow change pigs.
💿 Optimization
❗The optimization here isn't the best and I strongly don't recommend spawning more than 1 worm.
