Appears in Minish roads.
They come out of the ground when they
sense prey. If you get swallowed, you'll
take damage and get all dirty!
Watch out, because when you're all
dirty, Pestos will come after you.

Moldworms only appear in Minish-sized areas; more specifically, the Minish Road at LonLon Ranch. They appear underground, pop up and crawl around, and will attempt to consume Link; if he is eaten, he will be deposited at the other end of the Moldworm, take 2 hearts of damage and exhibit a brown color on his skin and tunic, which gradually fades away. Link can use his Sword on a Moldworm's body segments, but only the head can be hit to deal damage. Link can use the Gust Jar to shoot air into a Moldworm's open mouth; it won't deal damage, but it will consume the air, but the eating process is much quicker than when Link is eaten. Sometimes, a Moldworm will go back underground, only to pop back out a few seconds afterward. This happens randomly, but there is a glitch where a Moldworm spawns near the exit of a Minish Road; it will pop out of the ground, but it will be invisible. Leaving the area and coming back fixes the glitch. Moldworms seem to have a symbiotic relationship with Pestos; when Link has been eaten and deposited by a Moldworm, any Pestos in the area are attracted towards him, moving more quickly and attacking more frequently than normal. If a Pesto touches Link while he is dirty, it will grab him, lift him into the air and gradually deal a quarter heart of damage until he's clean again.
