The Lumbricus Lid is a headwear item for the Soldier that was awarded to those who purchased the game Worms: Reloaded before September 2, 2010. The item itself consists of a webbed helmet adorned with the Worms-style eyebrows and a Worms drawing. It also includes "Holy Hand Grenades" that replace the Soldier's default frag grenades. Performing the Kamikaze taunt with this equipped will cause the "Hallelujah" sound clip from the Worms games to play.
