Throughout Worm Food, the Stone Tribe sets up objects which have dangerous objects placed on them. These objects are placed in the level with the intent of harming the Giant Worm. These objects only harm the worm when contact is made. Depending on the location, they can either be of little concern or very dangerous. Damage dealt by hazards can range from being minimal to high. Some hazards can be destroyed, some by contact (which will destroy the hazard), and some by other means. Not all hazards are destroyed on contact, and not all hazards can be destroyed.
