Shade Wyrm

The Shade Wyrm is a Post-Moon Lord miniboss, spawning in the second phase of the Dawn of the Void event.

Behavior
Just like regular worm-type enemies, it will try to deal damage by ramming you. It also occasionally freezes and fires void blasts from its head through to its tail.

Trivia

 * Shade Wyrms are a younger form of Elder Shade Wyrm and The Void Leviathan.
 * Despite the term 'wyrm' (UK: /wûrm, wɝm/ ) being typically used to refer to a legless dragon, Shade Wyrms are closer in appearance to worms.
 * The music playing when the Shade Wyrm spawns is called "∀uʇᴉ Wɐʇʇǝɹ" (Anti Matter), which was been composed by Ranipla and GENIH WAT.

Lore
An important part of the dawn's plan are these silent, but deadly beings. Originating from the Void, they are a force to behold, solely for their tricking nature and their powerful maws. Even a young example is capable of striking down a large group of rodents in a blink of an eye and once they age, their capabilities exceed far beyond their previous strength.

Evolving creatures of this kind have a singular chance to shed their scales and become what might only be known as a Void Leviathan, but as of now, sightings confirm that only one had managed to attempted such a feat and emerged successful, to the fortune of the Terran world. But even without these possibilities, a small amount of them could eliminate even the Moon Lord with such seen as a large power on its own.

As the armies of the Void had ravaged through the night, these creatures carry on with their wanderings, continuing their murder even at the darkest of nights. And perhaps, very few people know that anyone could survive a head-on clash with these monsters.
