Note: In the adventure from which the wrigglies come, the characters have been reduced to one 36th of their usual size, and the creature's stats are relative to these miniature PCs. If used for normal sized characters, these would be the stats for a giant wriggly.

Many magical substances have slowly been deposited in this section of pipe over the years. These substances have given birth to the wrigglies, a peculiar and ever-hungry life form.
Bright orange light illuminates the pipe ahead and a sweet sickly smell hangs heavy in the air. Ahead at the top of a slope many strange and brightly coloured blobs wriggle in unison, becoming more agitated as they slowly advance towards you.
Upon sensing the party's presence the wrigglies will lose their blob-like shape and become elongated. They will writhe about, waving their bodies as they move towards the party. Wrigglies attack by hitting characters with their elongated heads. When a wriggly kills a victim it will envelope it and slowly digest it. If a wriggly is killed it will spray out a sweet and sticky sap over anyone within 5 feet. The sap has a pungent odour and is difficult to remove; even alcohol will not shift it. Its only significant effect in this adventure is to attract the bluebottles at encounter 11.

The orange light comes directly from the wrigglies. It will become dimmer and dimmer as more of the wrigglies are killed, disappearing when they are all dead.
