'''Comments:''' Coldworm is a giant, swollen maggot with a lovely, screeching, poison-spewing death animation. She spawns new full size maggots once characters approach close enough to activate her, and during long battles her reproductive prowess can grow quite wearisome. She is motionless and has no attacks of any kind, other than the cold and poison she spews upon death. It can be amusing to see her with random modifiers like Extra Fast and Extra Strong when she neither moves nor attacks, but her modifiers are shared with her minions, and that can make a difference in the battle. | '''Comments:''' [[Coldworm]] is a giant, swollen [[maggot]] with a lovely, screeching, poison-spewing death animation.

'''Comments:''' Fangskin is another monster who was made much easier in v1.09. Prior to that patch he and his minions were very dangerous in the confined area, thanks to their solid damage and swarming, stun-locking, speedy attacks.
