The worm has turned, gentlemen!
The Soldier

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, along with "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.

Components

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 Worms 2 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)
  • The Lumbricus Lid was the first promotional hat to be released for a specific class, with all previous promotional hats being wearable by every class.
