Meet the original Earthworm Jim (the 1994 game)
Earthworm Jim, caught on camera, 2026
Earthworm Jim
Lumbricus (a garden earthworm)
Wormtown's most famous resident, and not actually a tiger worm at all. He's a plain pink garden earthworm who wandered in and made himself at home among the stripy composting crowd.
He's a character, not the whole colony. Long-term plan: get him a super suit.
