The '''Giant Ice Worm''' is a fast, poisonous worm that attacks on sight. You must beat it nearly to death before you can tame it, and taming it permanently halves its stats.

== Overview ==
* '''In-game name:''' ''a giant ice worm''
* '''Corpse:''' ''a giant ice worm corpse''
* '''Behavior:''' it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights in melee.
* '''Movement:''' it is one of the faster creatures in the game.

== Stats ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Stat !! Value
|-
| Strength || 216–245
|-
| Dexterity || 76–100
|-
| Intelligence || 66–85
|-
| Hit points || 130–147
|-
| Stamina || 76–100 (same as its Dexterity)
|-
| Mana || 66–85 (same as its Intelligence)
|-
| Melee damage || 7–17
|-
| Armor rating || 40
|-
| Fame / Karma || 4,500 / −4,500
|}

=== Skills ===
{| class="wikitable sortable"

| Poisoning || 75.1–95.0

! Resistances
| Physical 30–35, Fire 0, Cold 80–90, Poison 15–25, Energy 10–20
|}

== Abilities ==
=== Poison ===
Every time its melee attack hits, there's a '''50%''' chance it also poisons the target with '''Greater''' poison. A tamed giant ice worm keeps this attack.

It is immune to poison up to '''Greater''' (Lesser, Regular, Greater).

== Taming ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Requirement !! Value
|-
| Minimum Animal Taming || 71.1 (below this you have no chance)
|-
| Control slots || 1
|-
| Maximum owners || 5 (each previous owner makes it harder to tame)
|-
| Bonding || Yes
|-
| Rideable || No
|-
| Favorite food || Meat
|}

* '''Subdue it first.''' You can't tame a wild one until it's down to '''10% of its hit points''' or less (''"You must subdue this creature before you can tame it!"''). When it gets that low you'll see ''"* The creature has been beaten into subjugation! *"'' If it heals above 10% during your attempt, the attempt fails. A worm that has had an owner before doesn't need subduing.
* '''Success chance.''' For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt is about '''58% at 100.0 skill''', and it improves as your skill rises. Every previous owner adds 6 points to the difficulty.
* '''Don't hurt it during the attempt.''' Once you've started taming, any damage makes it fail with ''"The animal is too angry to continue taming."'' Do the subduing first, then tame.
* '''Stay close.''' You must stay within 6 tiles of it and keep a clear path to it.
* '''Obedience.''' Once tamed, how often it obeys depends on your Animal Taming and Animal Lore (taming counts four times as much as lore). With both at 71.1 it obeys about 70% of the time, and at about 76.0 it reaches the 99% maximum. Below 71.1 the chance drops quickly, to as low as 22%.
* '''Re-taming.''' If you've owned this one before, taming it again always succeeds (''"That wasn't even challenging."'').
* After its first tame, its skills drop to '''90%''' of their wild values (86% if it was paralyzed while you tamed it), '''and its Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence and hit points are cut in half'''.

=== Bonding ===
Only the owner can bond with a giant ice worm, and they need at least '''71.1 Animal Taming''' (base skill). Feed it to start bonding, then feed it again after '''7 days''' to finish. When you see ''"Your pet has bonded with you!"'', it's done.

== Loot ==
It carries no loot.

=== Carving ===
There's nothing to carve from its corpse.

== Tips ==
* Beat it down to 10% health or less before you start taming, then stop attacking.
* It attacks on sight and its hits can give you Greater poison.
* At 100.0 skill each attempt has about a 58% chance.
* Remember that taming halves its stats, so a tamed worm is much weaker than a wild one.
* It drops nothing and can't be carved.
