The **Crystal Worm Father** is an event boss that drops the entrance to the [Fungal Cavern](/wiki/fungal-cavern). In the dungeon itself, it also makes a return to assist the [Crystal Worm Mother](/wiki/crystal-worm-mother). {{template-realm-eye-lore | response=The entrance to the abandoned dwarven mines was blocked off by the dwarves when they retreated. At the time, the mushroom tribes were appeased once the miners left.
Once Steamhammer realized how much valuable equipment had been deserted, he insisted on tearing down the barrier and reclaiming their property.
This ill-advised decision was quickly noticed by the mushroom tribes. Determined to keep people away for good, they have poured into the realm to keep wanderers far from the entrance. }}

Behavior

#####Event Version The Crystal Worm Father emerges in the center of the Fungal setpiece once six waves of mushroom enemies have been defeated. Immediately after spawning, it will summon three random Cavecrawler worms ([Leech](/wiki/cavecrawler-leech), [Maggot](/wiki/cavecrawler-maggot), [Glowworm](/wiki/cavecrawler-glowworm)) and becomes vulnerable, attacking with a flowering barrage of extremely damaging crystal shards that return to it. At half health, it adds in aimed shotguns of purple crystals that inflict Sick. At about 20% HP, the Worm Father stops firing, goes invulnerable and spawns in another Cavecrawler Worm. In addition, several [Death Morels](/wiki/death-morel) spawn around the arena, firing radial blasts. The Worm Father cannot be harmed until all Death Morels have been killed. When all of the Death Morels are dead, the Worm Father resumes its attack pattern from before, except now it also fires rings of purple shards. Death Morels will periodically spawn around the arena. When brought to critical HP, the Worm Father retreats into the ground, leaving its loot behind. A portal to the [Fungal Cavern](/wiki/fungal-cavern) will open right afterwards. #####Dungeon Version The Worm Father appears in the center of the [Crystal Worm Mother's](/wiki/crystal-worm-mother) arena when the boss reaches a certain phase. While the Worm Mother circles the arena and fires, the Worm Father will attack with an omnidirectional barrage of crystal shards. At half health, it adds in aimed shotguns of purple shards. When brought to critical HP, the Worm Father retreats into the ground, resuming the fight with the boss proper. ####Reproduction Spawns:
