Abyss Worm is an enemy in Final Fantasy VIII fought in the desert regions. When first encountered, it appears as a creature's head protruding from the ground—complete with its mound—flailing around with small flaps on its sides. After removing a certain amount of its HP, the Abyss Worm will crawl out to show its segmented body. It and its spoils are good for obtaining Tornado spells.
The Abyss Worm uses both physical and magical attacks. It can counter physical attacks with Sand Shake, dealing earth-elemental damage to the party, and may use this immediately after buffing itself. After it is targeted four times, it will lift its head and use different attacks.
The Abyss Worm is weak to Water and Wind attacks. Like many other monsters, it has the spells it is weak against as draw spells.
Use of Triple in conjunction with the Water spell can deal large amounts of damage at any level. Abyss Worm is a good enemy to draw Tornados from as it is a good spell to raise stats with.
Abyss Worm is a Level 3 Monster Card in Triple Triad used for playing the minigame and for turning into Windmills. It is a good card to farm for early as Windmills turn into Tornado spells.
