The worm has turned, gentlemen!
The Soldier

The Lumbricus Lid, pronounced \ˈləm-brə-kəs\, is a promotional headwear item for the Soldier. It is a webbed helmet adorned with Worms-style eyebrows and a Worms drawing. It also includes "Holy Hand Grenades" that replace the Soldier's default frag grenades on his chest.

This hat was awarded to those players who purchased Worms: Reloaded before September 2, 2010.

Performing the Kamikaze taunt with this hat equipped will play the "Hallelujah" sound from Worms: Reloaded, originally from Handel's Template:W, and display a unique kill icon.
