Guild Wars 2

Becoming a condi for the tripple trouble event ment I have spend some time with the husk champions over the last week. This made me thinkg they look the same as the husks in the silverwastes which are Mordremoths minions. We also know Mordremoth likes leylines very much and that the probs that attract the wurm are used to tap into the leyline network. So this made me think what if the wurm was the first action of Mordremoth to look for the leylines making this threeheaded wurm the first champion of Mordremoth we have encounterd.

i think the wurms are actually throwing up mordrem husks they tried eating. aren’t they all called “partially digested husk”?

wurms have been a part of guild wars wildlife since GW1, so i doubt they’re mordrem champions. they also don’t look anything like any mordrem we’ve seen so far.

But the inside of the wurm, if I remember right, looks like the tunnels under the forts we fight the champs in. I’m not willing to call it either way yet, but it certainly seems possible the wurm was at least corrupted by Mordremoth.

it looks like what i imagine the guts of any creature of that size to look like :P

These “wurms” are actually plants, it was confirmed at some stage. Can not tell you how or when unfortunately.

However since Scarlet kicked of the 3 Headed Jungle Wurm event, its safe to say it is DIRECTLY connected to Mordy.
By extension the Great Jungle Wurm can be connected too. "Gamarien believes its presence there is the result of a “much darker force” "

Scarlet didn’t intentionally wake up the 3 headed wurm though. If you pay attention to the dialogue now, the three asura brothers are testing to see if the thumpers caused the wurm to stir, and the wurm wakes up after setting the thumpers up again.

I also don’t recall it being said that the jungle wurms are plants. Wouldn’t doubt it, however, but they do lay eggs. Typically, plants don’t.

An detail that would support the idea that the Great Jungle Wurm and the Triple Trouble wurms are related to Mordremoth, is that they drop the exact Champion bags Mordrem drop (instead of wurm or plant bags).

That means they belong to the same family game mechanics wise.

they both drop heirloom seed pouches, which is what you get for killing anything jungle-related in the game :|

and where the heck did people get “the wurm is a plant” from? and why did you people start talking about another, unrelated wurm?

‘Heirloom Seed Pouch’ is the name for many bag variants, such as Mordrem, Plants and previously Nightmare Court. I’m talking specifically about the Mordrem variant.

A wurm would commonly drop a Fallen Adventurer’s Backpack.

BrunoBRS > I always thought the jungle wurms (not just the boss, every wurm from Maguuma) were plant-thingies. Maybe not plants in the strict term (of course they’re not flowers), but they may be something between plants and animals : it’s a fantasy world, after all.
There are wurms made of ice in the Shiverpeaks, why couldn’t there be wurms made of plants ?
Also, they’re called “Nightmare vines” in Twilight Harbour.

(Edit : I don’t think the Triple Trouble Wurm is a Mordremoth champion, though. Just some giant wurm that’s being disturbed by Scarlet’s devices.)

where did you get that the wurms in the shiverpeaks are made of ice?

they’re both wurms. subspecies of the same animal. just like you have snow foxes and woodland foxes. and unlike any other dragon minion that we know of (assuming your theory is right for a moment), they’ve been around for centuries now, at the very least, before their dragon woke up. they would be the one exception, the one minion (not champion, just regular minion) that never disappeared and remained active through their dragon’s sleep, reaching as far as the shiverpeaks and ascalon (seriously, there are wurms everywhere in this game, of a bunch of varieties). even destroyers and svanir only showed up when their respective dragons were trying to wake up.

it just makes no sense for wurms to be minions. and the only evidence for it, as per this thread, is “oh, scarlet woke one up on accident, because it turns out worm-like creatures get annoyed when you keep stomping the ground they live in, just like real life”.

and again, the husks in the fight have been eaten. the wurm eats those husks, and then throws them up on us, along with its deadly spit. the husks coming out are a side effect of the wurm trying to kill us with bile.

to sum it up: there are way too many wurm species, they’ve been around for too long, making them an anomaly comparable to glint, they’re literally everywhere (i’m starting to wonder if there’s a single explorable map from the core release in this game without wurms), and the only link they have with mordremoth are “the triple trouble wurms think husks are tasty, but have trouble digesting them” and “scarlet accidentally woke one up, one that has no interest in doing anything other than sleeping until people turn those thumpers on again”.

oh, and the fact that they’re not plants.

The Great Jungle Wurm doesn’t drop champ bags… Of any kind.

And the Triple Head wurm drops Adventurer’s Backpacks according to the wiki.

Those Heirloom bags you’re giving? They’re coming from the mobs, not the wurms. Like, say, the husks.

@Bruno: You do realize that jungle wurms didn’t exist in GW1, right? :P

i do, but the frost wurms were there, always messing my map completion in the shiverpeaks by coming out of freaking nowhere. and i can’t vouch for plains wurms, since i didn’t play prophecies, but they weren’t in the EotN ascalonian areas.

but the point remains, they’re just another type of wurm, just like all those other wurms spread everywhere. there’s no evidence or even suggestion that they’re something different. it wouldn’t be the first new subspecies to show up between games.

Oh you’re right, The Wurm’s Golden Chest drops backpacks. The wurm head itself drops a seed pouch, though.

And I should’ve been more specific, the Great Jungle Wurm does indeed not drop a Mordrem bag, the Avatars of Blight that protect the wurm do.

I’m just finding it weird that these Mordrem appear near them. It might just be that they are disturbing the wurms. I agree that they are probably not creations of Mordremoth, but they may have been tainted by it.

tainted? i’d say more like disturbed/annoyed by it :P all these kitten mordrem messing with their sleep. at least they taste nice.

I never argued that wurms were dragon minion ! Just that jungle wurms are some kind of plant thingies. Why are they called Nightmare vines in Twilight Harbor if they aren’t plants ?

The jungle wurms do seem more plant-like in appearance than the other wurms in the game. It’s possible they’re only “wurms” in the colloquial and/or game mechanics sense.

I don’t see the plant resemblance, honestly, beyond coloration- and even that looks much more like an animal mimicking a plant than an actual plant.

Just like the Mordrem Wolves, the Jungle Wurms are modeled after the other wurms in Tyria.

At least that is my theory, and it makes perfect sense since ALL mordy’s minions are plant look alikes of some kind or another.
