This is a good way to lose a very powerful pet. Ranged attacks are of course also an option.īe careful when leaving pets around purple worms, as they will run up to the worm and promptly be engulfed.

If you are wielding a cockatrice or chickatrice corpse, stoning the purple worm while inside will give the message: "You jump through an opening in the new statue of a purple worm." The purple worm will have its health points dropped to 1, so one hit will get rid of it. To ensure survival after being engulfed, immediately zap a wand of digging. If you are not able to kill the purple worm fast, it will kill you.
