The worm has turned, gentlemen!
The Soldier

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

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

Performing the Kamikaze taunt with this item equipped plays the "Hallelujah" sound from the Worms series, originally from Handel's Messiah, and displays a unique kill icon (Killicon hhg.png).

The kill icon was contributed by Psyke.
