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 M1 helmet adorned with Worms-style eyebrows and a Worms drawing on the left side. It also replaces the Soldier's default grenades with two "Holy Hand Grenades".

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

Performing the Grenade taunt kill 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.

  • The Holy Hand Grenades are based on the globus crucigers.
