=Behavior= [[Image:Ancient_Worm_Down.jpg|thumb|600px|right|Unconscious Ancient_Worm]]The Ancient Worm has only been observed in a dormant state, but it appears that it has remained there for a long time. It may be that it returns to the nest often, explaining the [[Apple Larva|Apple Larva Pet]]. It is also possible that it isn't just dormant, but also laying it's eggs over millions of years. While dormant, the [[Ancient Worm]] positions the majority of its body underground and exposes the end of its tail near its burrow, perhaps to continue sensing the surface during its dormancy. The worm fills it's burrow with acid, possibly to keep scavengers, predators, and bacteria away from it while it is sleeping. When threatened the [[Ancient Worm]] spews digestive acids at attackers. It also summons nearby [[Maggot|maggots]] to the surface all around it, making a loud high pitched call similar to noises the maggots themselves make and exposing its tail as if it were one of the maggots. It is unclear from this behavior alone whether the [[Ancient Worm]] has any particular connection to the maggots or if it uses the end of its tail to mimic the maggots and lead them to the surface where they will naturally engage the attacker. It would seem that maggots continually gathers around the [[Ancient Worm]], allowing the worm to surface maggots in its own defense any number of times even if the maggots are killed. This summoning behavior may indicate intelligent, possibly social learning on the [[Ancient Worm]]'s part. The [[Ancient Worm]]'s diet is unclear, as is whether it is territorial or aggressive. However, some have speculated that it is prey to other [[Bosses|Greatbeasts]].
