Sometimes, when you want a [[Grotesque Gallery|really scary]] monster, a [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|giant insect]] just won't do. They've been done to death and look really [[Special Effects Failure|cheesy]] to boot. But you still want a bug monster - what do you do?
 
Well, you call this guy. He isn't just ''one'' bug -, he's ''[[The Swarm|millions]]''! Millions of tiny creepy crawlies make up his body, as if his entire body is composed of [[Synchronized Swarming]] controlled by a [[Hive Mind]]. Sometimes it's worms, sometimes it's insects - [[Everything's Worse with Bees|bees]] are always good - and sometimes it's just any creepy thing you can think of. Don't worry; The Worm That Walks can make them all into petrol for subconscious terrors. Could be considered the [[BlatantNightmare LiesFuel|logical]]fuel extremefor ofsubconscious the [[Totem Pole Trenchterrors]]. Just don't confuse him with [[The Worm Guy]], or [[Earthworm Jim]], or [[The Phantom (comic strip)|The Ghost Who Walks]]. See also [[Combining Mecha]] for the mechanical counterpart of this trope.
