Trivia

  • Lumbricus is the genus for the earthworm family.
  • The Holy Hand Grenade included with the Lumbricus Lid hat is a reference to the Holy Hand Grenade weapon in the Worms video-game series including Worms: Reloaded, which itself appears to be a reference to the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail; specifically, "The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch."
    • The Heal Grenade (a scrapped weapon) has a similar design to that of the Holy Hand Grenade.
  • The Worm design on the helmet is the "Steal" weapon icon from Worms: Reloaded.
  • This hat was featured in the Official Blog with a still frame from Meet the Soldier, with the Soldier wearing the Lumbricus Lid and holding the Holy Hand Grenades (see right).
