Hey, I just had an encounter with this creature in my game. Day 52 and I have NOT fought a boss or reached any ending whatsoever. Not entirely sure the provocation. My base is on one of the islands in the south east, and it transformed into its bird form in order to cross to me. Once on the island, it seemed to get confused (I was losing my mind as well as I didn't know this was added) as it repeatedly formed the bird form and separated, about half the island away from me. It never did do the divebomb move, but swarmed me and started doing the drop move.
When I initially ran from it, it seemed to go berserk, making the tower form and just YEETING trees around at random despite me being a good distance away at that point.
Weird creature, but I like the experimentation.
40 Days
Previously this article said Worm appeared on Day 40. I can confirm this, unless they changed it in a hotfix. I was attacked by noon on day 40. It is a fresh install, and I haven't beaten the game, nor have I cleared any caves. I also am low on aggression with mutants. Some possibilities for triggering the event:
- You may need to be in the North half of the map (I was).
- You may need to have collected certain items or a certain amount (I had almost everything).
- There may be only a random chance of encounter after Day 40, and I was especially (un)lucky.

Cleanup
This article is a really long wall of text that could be broken up with addition subheaders, bullet points, and other formatting. It should look like the other mutant pages. It also needs to be checked for accuracy and redundant information. Using the word "you" should also be avoided.
