Experience
The Deathworm takes +400% more damage from spike walls, making it highly vulnerable in fortified areas. Its MiningDrill Harvest resistance means it is immune to mining drill damage. It deals 225 damage with both Bite and Claw attacks, effective for structural destruction. Despite its power, it cannot gather resources while ridden.
