The Lumbricus Lid is a headwear item for the Soldier that was awarded to those who purchase 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.

Trivia

• The Lumbricus Lid is similar in appearance to the Soldier's default headgear as well as the Soldier's Stash.
• Lumbricus is genus of the earthworm family, including most of the commonly seen varieties.
• The Holy Hand Grenade included in the Lumbricus Lid hat is a reference to the Holy Hand Grenade weapon in Worms: Reloaded, which 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 the same reference.
• The Lumbricus Lid is the first class-specific promotional hat. All promotional hats released prior to the Lid are available to be worn by any class.
• The Holy Hand Grenades are a part of this hat and are not separate Miscellaneous items.
• The Lumbricus Lid is the first item to change the items on the body of the characters, not just the head. The Holy Hand Grenades are the first models to replace any aesthetic items such as Grenades.
• The "Hallelujah" sound clip from the Worms games exists in the Team Fortress 2 sound files, but currently does not play in-game.
