Rarely, critters are found coated entirely in gold! They are worth great coin to shopkeepers and fish absolutely love golden bait!

— The Bestiary

The Gold Worm is a critter. It is a rare, golden recolor of an ordinary Worm, with a 1/150 chance of spawning in place of the ordinary version (when the player breaks stone or dirt piles, or grass). It can also be rarely obtained from opening a Can Of Worms.

As with all other golden critters, it can be caught with a Bug Net and sold for 10. It can also be used as bait, and along with the other golden bait critters, it has a bait power of 50%, the highest usable value among bait.

Unlike its original counterpart, the Worm, the Gold Worm cannot be crafted into an Enchanted Nightcrawler.
