"Worm" is a generic phrase that refers to many, many unrelated biological taxons due to being either long and tube-shaped or parasitic. These include annelids (segmented worms), nematodes (roundworms), flatworms, rotifers (a microscopic thing), various insect larvae (such as inchworms, which are caterpillars), caecilians and snakes (which are vertebrates), and ringworm (which is a fungus).... among many, many, many others.
Now, this category here has two types of "worm" accounted for: annelids (such as earthworms and leeches) and various caterpillars (which now have a more biologically appropriate category) that have been generically called "worms" at various points. What this proposal intends to do is to nix the caterpillar ones to avoid category redundancy, and to rename it to "category:annelids" to make this new scope clearer.
The following will stay in the category:
- Belly Blech - parasitic worm; though the way characters act about it makes it seem more like a flatworm, it has visible segments
- Chuck Quizmo - seems to be an earthworm, though it's admittedly vague
- Snoodle - tube worm things
- Sworm - probably an earthworm, though it can also be a leech
- Wormwould - earthwormy as an earthworm can be
The following are caterpillars and will be removed:
- Creepy - hangs out on plants, the rest of the enemies in the game are insects, clearly a larva.
- Ick Worm - hangs out on a leaf, name is a pun on "inchworm" (a group of caterpillars).
- Worm - Far more resembles a caterpillar than an annelid, especially with the bright green color (even though both 'pillars and earthworms are sometimes used for the apple gag, caterpillars are more common). Same goes for Worm (Super Mario Galaxy) which is even more clearly a caterpillar, but it's already not here.
