Wormy (Character)
Wormy is a caterpillar which is shown in the episode of the same name. Wormy is found inside the Treedome when Sandy leaves for a holiday. Wormy quickly becomes SpongeBob and Patrick's best friend. They play a variety of games together including hide-and-seek and tag. Wormy is even given a badge that says best friend (meaning SpongeBob and Patrick's best friend). One night, when SpongeBob and Patrick are sleeping, Wormy forms a cocoon, then becomes a butterfly. The next morning, when SpongeBob and Patrick come back, Wormy is a butterfly. He becomes the so-called "monster" of Bikini Bottom until Sandy "rescues" the town. Wormy caused the whole town to be destroyed including the signs and stores.
Life
The life of Wormy is only seen in his titular episode and his life as a caterpillar was short since he soon turned into a butterfly but he was not seen any more after that.
Looks
He is green as a caterpillar. Following his transformation into a butterfly, he has:
- A black/brown body.
- Orange wings with a black outline.
- Black marks on the wings.
- The close up of the butterfly shows the head of a buzzing horsefly, which some people hate.
- He may be a monarch butterfly, another kind of poisonous orange and black butterfly, or the kind that disguises as one.
