A '''larva''', {{white|w}}, is a [[worm]] that appears in [[SLASH'EM]]. This is among the easiest monsters to defeat. Its [[corpse]] is poisonous but has a small chance of granting [[sleep resistance]].

A larva can grow up (down?) into a '''maggot''', {{white|w}}. Unlike a larva, a maggot is neither poisonous to eat nor do they provide sleep resistance. They are also significantly smaller, weighing only 10 and also providing only 10 nutrition.

A larva can grow up into a '''dung worm''', {{black|w}}, the final stage of the SLASH'EM worm growth chain. They are identical to the younger maggot apart from doing 1d4 damage instead of 1d3 and having a higher base level.
