WORMS are high HP foes that are highly resistant to magic but quite vulnerable to physical attacks. You cannot flee from them, but there's no real reason to anyway, especially given how much experience they're worth. You'll find even larger groups on the Air floor.

Sand Ws hit hard but are fairly easy to take down. However, they do have a QAKE-like Special Attack, CRACK, that can kill the party in one shot. A Ribbon, ARUB, or WALL will protect against this attack. Otherwise, it has better than a 50/50 shot of slaying any Warrior it hits.

Grey Ws hit quite hard and accurately, but only once per round. Their Magic Defense is very high, and there is no way to defeat them with much efficiency. ICE and ICE2 are the only useful Spells, so most of the damage will need to be dealt physically.

Non-D&D players may question the existence of Purple Worms, but trust me, they make sense! Well, sort of. In any case, in this incarnation they are high HP foes that are highly resistant to magic but quite vulnerable to physical attacks. You cannot flee from them, but there's no real reason to anyway, especially given how much experience they're worth. You'll find even larger groups on the Air floor.
