In Pikmin Evolution
The Dirtwyrm is a species of dirtwyrm appearing in Pikmin Evolution. It gets its name from the fact its a creature residing in dirt and the fact its a reptile, though that may be confusing since it has the build and appearance of a garden variety earthworm, though if you look closely you can see a faint layer of scales. The Dirtwyrm also has a pair of yellow eyes, brownish pink skin, small gray pores on the side of its body, and is the size of a Adult Centifly. As previously stated the Dirtwyrm resides underground, away from most creatures, but its appearance can often be seen due to the sudden appearance of softer and darker soil where the creature resides. When Pikmin come near, the Dirtwyrm will rise from its soil and try to attack anyone who enters its territory. It mainly does this by lunging forward with its mouth and attempt to eat your squad, due to how long its body is this lunge has some range. The Dirtwyrm, while not tanky, isn't frail either, having a respectable amount of health to its name, however its quite difficult to take down due to two factors. First it has the ability to passively regenerate health, while not as potent as the regenerative ability of the Gauze Bulborb, it still regenerates a respectable amount of health when left along. Secondly when swarm it will release small balls of mucus from the pours on the sides of its body, this not only scatters a slippery trap on the battlefield that impedes movement, but it also makes the Dirtwyrm harder to hit as the mucus makes it able to shake Pikmin off easier. It also makes its lunge more deadly as the mucus will increase the range and speed of the lunge attack due to making the body more aerodynamic. The mucus will also make the body more moist and hydrophobic, giving the creature immunities to being wet, set ablaze, or frozen. So aside from waiting for the mucus to wear off and risk having its entire health pool become healed off, the best way is to melt the mucus with a corrosive substance. Specifically acidic green syrup, as that dries up the mucus on the Dirtwyrm's body and also cleans up any mucus on the floor, making it easier to navigate. The acid also deals heavy damage to the Dirtwyrm and overall cripples it. This effect can also occur when it eats a Germ Pikmin so bringing a squad of it can be ideal if your don't mind sacrificing a few Pikmin. Overall a simple but dangerous enemy, especially if plucked up by an Elongated Mockiwi
