Storm-Chilled Worms

An icy, lightning-charged variant of Sautéed Worms. Summon blue worms that chase enemies, freeze and slow them, and call down lightning instead of burning.

Lightning damage numbers are icy blue/cyan, making them easier to distinguish from yellow worm-contact numbers.

Crafting recipe

1 Glacial Perforator + 1 Charged Perforator → 1 Storm-Chilled Worms

Craft at Wandering CHEF. Either ingredient order works.

• Contact: 100% (+100% per extra stack) TOTAL damage per hit, up to five times per second.
• Lightning: 150% (+150% per extra stack) TOTAL damage, at most once per second per worm.
• Freeze: 2 seconds, with a shared 3-second cooldown per target. Contact also slows by 80% for 3 seconds. Enemy immunities still apply.
• Summons: up to 8 worms lasting 10 seconds. The initial 10% on-hit chance decreases with active worms; summoning has a 1-second cooldown.

TOTAL damage scales with the hit that summoned the worm. Normal Sautéed Worms keep their original behavior.

Actively being tested: damage numbers and overall balance may change. The goal is a slightly stronger alternative to Sautéed Worms without making it overpowered.

Requires Glacial Perforator, the listed dependencies, and the native food item's expansion. Glacial Perforator is listed as a Thunderstore dependency so mod managers can install it automatically. All multiplayer players need matching mod versions.
