Wailworm

Wailworm is a hostile mob. This mob has several unique characteristics:

1.) Wailworms can fall out of (spawn) from trees when they are being chopped. This can be predicted by the player: a sound is played when the tree is being chopped. If a sound plays other than the tree chopping sound, there is a wailworm in that tree. Continuing to chop that tree results in the wailworm to drop/spawn.

2.) Wailworms are territorial. They will stay in relatively close vicinity to the tree they spawned in. If the player breaches into this territory, the Wailworm will aggro to the player and attack them.

3.) Wailworms will often be spawned into the world, without the player chopping trees. They will not spawn randomly/spontaneously, other than the ones generated by the world.

4.) Wailworms will cause direct damage, as well as a lingering poison damage. The damage sums up to a very rough approximate of 1.5 damage (3/4ths full circle) per hit. You can stop the poison effect by drinking the ( i forgot the name, change this ) potion.

5.) Wailworms can be combated against, a shell knife, spear or Iron Sword can be used. Spear is vastly superior to the shell knife in combat statistics and the Iron sword is better still. With a spear, Wailworm is generally a 2-hit kill, but sometimes can be a 1-hit kill, Iron sword is a 1-hit kill. Press F to attack nearby target while weapon is selected in your hotbar. 6.) Wailworms can be kited to avoid taking damage. Do not stand still, keep in constant motion. This way, the Wailworm will miss its charge-type attack. When it misses the attack, go in for a counterattack by pressing F. Do not attempt to attack more than once, the Wailworm will come out of stun-lock within the time for one player attack. Keep in motion after the attack. Repeat this cycle. 7.) Upon examination of the Wailworm's corpse you will unlock the Wailworm Autopsy research.For Dissection of a Wailworm, see Astrobiology.

8.) Dissecting the Wailworm will give the Wailworm Shell item and the Wailworm Gland item. Using the Shell knife on the corpse you may get both, only one or none of the items.

9.) Wailwroms can be repelled for a short time by drinking the (i also forgot the name of this potion) potion.
