The Giga Shellworm is an enemy that appears in Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall. It is a species of Fusion Monsters that is used in Fuse's Army, and the boss version of the Shellworms.
Physical appearance
Essentially a larger version of the Shellworm, the Giga Shellworm resembles an amalgam of fossilized bones and a tortoise. It possesses a grayish dark blue tortoise shell with pointy spikes along the outer rim, and a lower body made of a mix of brown dirt and Fusion Matter. Up front, it has a neckless head made of the same materials as its body, but with two featureless red eyes and a mouth with a green maw and two fangs protruding from its jaw. It also has two arms with four-fingered hands made of fossilized gray bones held together by Fusion Matter. In addition, it has webbing between its fingers that are made of Fusion Matter and various forms of dirt. Extending from down its pelvis is also a fossilized and spiky spine held together by Fusion Matter, with a tail tip consisting of the skull of a Ceratopsian dinosaur, compete with green eyes, two horns on its nose, and spikes along its frill.
Gameplay
In gameplay, the Giga Shellworms are enemy monsters that the player can fight at various points in the game. To target a Giga Shellworm, align the Avatar with it to make its information window appear on the top of the screen. Should its Health Bar reach zero when battling it, the Fusion Matter animating the Giga Shellworm will break up, and the Giga Shellworm will disintegrate.[1] The player will then automatically receive some Fusion Matter and Taros as reward. However, while the Giga Shellworm's Taro reward remains consistent, its Fusion Matter reward will decrease for each level the Avatar is above the Giga Shellworm. Sometimes, the player also automatically receives loot from defeated Giga Shellworms in the form of C.R.A.T.E.s, Nano Potions, and Weapon Boosts.
In battle, the Giga Shellworms target the Avatar when they get close enough. However, the higher the Avatar's level is, the closer they can get to a Giga Shellworm without it attacking them. Once they begin fighting, the Giga Shellworms will continue attacking until either they are destroyed, the Avatar is defeated, or the Avatar moves too far away from their point of origin. If the Avatar runs away from them, the Giga Shellworms will follow them until they get too far away from their area of roaming, at which point they will return, where they will regain their full health instantly. Notably, while retreating, they will be invulnerable to attacks. Also, once defeated, a Giga Shellworm will respawn after one hundred and fifty seconds.
History
Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall
Fusion Invasion
The Past
In the Past, the Giga Shellworms would fight the soldiers opposing the Fusion Invasion.
Behavior
Like other Fusion Monsters, the Giga Shellworms are aggressive, hostile, and spit out Fusion Matter wherever they go.
Powers and abilities
Skills the Giga Shellworms have exhibited include:
- Fusion Matter Explosion: The Giga Shellworms possess the Eruption Attack, which lets them create a localized explosion of Fusion Matter from the ground. When launching this attack, the Giga Shellworms make the ground below their opponent glow with Fusion Matter for a few seconds before causing a pillar of Fusion Matter to erupt.
- Nano Drain: The Giga Shellworms possess the Corruption Attack, which lets them drain Nanos of their stamina. When they are attacking a Nano, they will start to glow, which is the wind up, before throwing an attack that will trump their opponent's Nano. Should it make contact, the Nano will lose a lot of stamina. Conversely, if their opponent drops their current Nano and brings out one that deflects the attack back at the Giga Shellworms, the Nano will get a boost in stamina. Should the Giga Shellworms launch their Corruption Attack on an opponent without a Nano out though, the former will take damage.
- Potion Consumption: The Giga Shellworms possess the Battery Drain, which lets them launch attacks that can drain the Avatar's supply of Nano Potions and Weapon Boosts by a certain amount.
