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 on Steam 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 for the Lumbricus Lid was contributed by Psyke.

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