Code exists for the mind * Mind worms being able to attack the player from range with "were added but unfinished in [[CVS]], where they didn't normally spawn and their AI didn't make use of their psi blasts" . They were finished and if next properly introduced to a player, attempt to burrow into their skull and lay eggsthe game in [[Release 0.50.9|v0. Hatchlings would later spew forth from the player's head50.<br> This code is not currently in use, however and the mind worms will simply mill about and make weak attempts at striking enemies9]].

Your brain is on fire!
'''Mind worms''' are horrible [[Monsters|creatures]] with dangerous psychic powers. They come in two varieties: weaker hatchlings and more powerful boil.
Mind worms attack from afar with psi blasts, causing 1 damage to the head and prolonged [[confusion]]. This may not seem too bad, but given how your head tends to have very little [[HP]] and that mind worms only need to sense you through their [[ESP]] to kill you even through walls, they are a priority target. However, as [[tin]] [[helmets]] block ESP, wearing one will make all mind worms a non-threat.
If mind worm boil gets next to an enemy, it will attempt to burrow into their skull and lay eggs. Hatchlings will later spew forth from the victim's head.
You have a killer headache.

== Trivia ==
* [http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Mind_Worms Mind worms] are horrible creatures from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meier's_Alpha_Centauri Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri], where they are known to strike fear into armies for their ability to paralyze opponents from a distance with psi blasts, then burrow into their skull and make them suffer from delusions and nightmares until the worm finishes consuming their brain or laying ravenous larvae.
* Two other variants of mind worm exist in Alpha Centauri:
** ''Isle of the Deep'' is an undersea colony of aquatic mind worms.
** ''Locusts of Chiron'' are flying mind worms.
* Mind worm boil are meant to be colonies of smaller mind worms, rather than bigger worms as currently implemented.
