Moldworm
Moldworms are Enemies in The Minish Cap.[1]
Characteristics
They come out of the ground when they sense prey. If you get swallowed, you'll take damage and get all dirty!
Watch out, because when you're all dirty, Pestos will come after you.
Moldworms only appear in Minish-sized areas; more specifically, the Minish Road at Lon Lon Ranch. They appear underground, pop up and crawl around, and will attempt to consume Link; if he is eaten, he will be deposited at the other end of the Moldworm, take two hearts of damage and exhibit a brown color on his skin and tunic, which gradually fades away. Link can use his Sword on a Moldworm's body segments, but only the head can be hit to deal damage. Link can use the Gust Jar to shoot air into a Moldworm's open mouth; it will not deal damage, but it will consume the air, but the eating process is much quicker than when Link is eaten. Sometimes, a Moldworm will go back underground, only to pop back out a few seconds afterward. This happens randomly, but there is a glitch where a Moldworm spawns near the exit of a Minish Road; it will pop out of the ground, but it will be invisible. Leaving the area and coming back fixes the glitch. Moldworms seem to have a symbiotic relationship with Pestos; when Link has been eaten and deposited by a Moldworm, any Pestos in the area are attracted towards him, moving more quickly and attacking more frequently than normal. If a Pesto touches Link while he is dirty, it will grab him, lift him into the air and gradually deal a quarter heart of damage until he's clean again.
Trivia

Sale del suelo en los caminos y la mazmorra de los minish. Si te comiese, te hará daño y terminarás de un raro color marrón, y los Pun irán a por ti.
