Gossamer Worm
Gossamer worms are common bucketable passive aquatic mobs found in the Abyssal Chasm.
Cave Compendium Entry
"Gossamer Worms are large polychaete worms found swimming around the waters of the Abyssal Chasm. These drifting glowing worms are a favorite treat of the Hullbreaker. Gossamer Worms can be captured with a bucket of water. If slain, they can drop Bioluminessence, the source of their blue glow..."

Behavior
Gossamer worms will slowly swim about in a random fashion. If attacked by a player or another mob, they will flee from their attacker for 2 seconds.
Gossamer worms cannot survive outside of water. If outside of water, they will flop around in an attempt to jump back in, taking 2
suffocation damage every second after 15 seconds.
Players can pick up gossamer worms with a water bucket, giving them a bucket of gossamer worm. Gossamer worms placed with buckets do not despawn naturally. When a bucket of gossamer worm is used against a block, it empties the bucket, placing water with that gossamer worm swimming in it.
As inhabitants of the Abyssal Chasm, gossamer worms do not sink in muck.

Trivia
- Gossamer worms are classified as "deep sea creatures" - they are functionally very similar to underground aquatic animals like the Glow Squid, but can only spawn in the Abyssal Chasm.
- Gossamer worms use similar idle and death noises to Deep One Mages, albeit pitched down.
