Taser fires projectiles that administer an electric shock. It can damage multiple worms if they are immersed in a pool of water.

Earthquake makes the whole map shake. Worms close to the water or on a slope might fall or slide into the water and drown.

Resurrection brings back one random killed worm with the health of 50.

If a worm falls into a pool of spilled oil, it becomes totally black. You can set this worm on fire with, for example, Flame Thrower. It’s when the worm burns, screams and gets a lot of damage. Water could partially or fully clean the worm from petroleum.

It's the Scout... It's the Soldier... It's the Scientist... It's the Heavy... It's the Maggot! The Maggot has abilities just like the Soldier, except that his health is initially 90 and it can transform into a creature similar to a housefly. This housefly can fly better than Super Sheep as it levitates in the air and doesn’t need to land. The only weapon the fly can use is spraying a pretty powerful acid from close range. If the housefly flies to far away from the battlefield, it gets killed by Bobby G for deserting.

Vampirism turns a worm into a vampire with big canine teeth and black cloak. The health of an enemy worm gets reduced by 40 and the health of the bloodsucking worm is increased by the same amount.

Indian Rain Dance creates a raincloud which rains for three turns. It’s when a worm puts feathers on his head, dances and sings just like an Indian.

If an enemy worm is near the water, one might choose Piranha. It’s when you first hear the tense music from the film Jaws, but instead of a shark, a piranha is approaching. Once you successfully select an enemy worm, the piranha will emerge, risking to be stranded and eat the worm.

Frost Bite freezes a worm into an ice cube. The worm remains frozen for several turns before the ice melts.

How about introducing fatality? By pressing the F button just before you fire to finish off an enemy worm, the camera will zoom in to see the worst way a worm can die.

Invisibility makes a worm invisible to an opponent. When you choose Invisibility, your turn ends a few seconds later. Invisibility lasts for a few turns.

Super Kamikaze is when a worm inflates like a balloon, becoming three times bigger and then explodes, inflicting a massive damage to an opponent. Do worms go to heaven?

How about Kangaroo as the weapon of mass destruction? Kangaroo moves and explodes similar to the weapon Sheep, except that the mother kangaroo can hop higher and she has joey in her pouch. Joey will leave the pouch only if you press Enter, otherwise it will explode together with his mother. Joey always initially heads in the opposite direction of his mother. You can make joey explode by pressing Enter for the 2nd time, that is, the mother will explode when you press Space. Joey is less powerful than his mother, but he is still quite dangerous. How’s your hand-eye coordination?

Nice. I just didn't understand the part "immersed in a pool of water". Worms die instantly when in water.

Earthquake makes the whole map shake. Worms close to the water or on a slope might fall or slide into the water and drown.

Already exists.

Resurrection brings back one random killed worm with the health of 50.

Also already exists. Although revived worm's health is fully restored.

If a worm falls into a pool of spilled oil, it becomes totally black. You can set this worm on fire with, for example, Flame Thrower. It’s when the worm burns, screams and gets a lot of damage. Water could partially or fully clean the worm from petroleum.

No, by logic the worm should die instantly instead becoming covered of oil. Being immersed in a pool of spilled oil would be like in the water because worms aren't unable of swimming in any kind of liquid.

It's the Scout... It's the Soldier... It's the Scientist... It's the Heavy... It's the Maggot!

This could be used for Worms Revolution I think...

Liked this. The bitten worm would turn into a vampire too, huh!

Indian Rain Dance creates a raincloud which rains for three turns. It’s when a worm puts feathers on his head, dances and sings just like an Indian.

No, definetely no.

Instant death? No. Weapons that are easy to kill a worm aren't welcome, as the Homming Air Strike.

Frost Bite freezes a worm into an ice cube. The worm remains frozen for several turns before the ice melts.

Bite? Worms have no teeth to bite. Maybe a Freeze Gun or Freeze Laser was going to be better rsrs

How about introducing fatality? By pressing the F button just before you fire to finish off an enemy worm, the camera will zoom in to see the worst way a worm can die.

Creative, but I think that worms can die only by two ways: sunk or by the own death explosion.

Invisibility makes a worm invisible to an opponent. When you choose Invisibility, your turn ends a few seconds later. Invisibility lasts for a few turns.

Invibility already exists. This was used to be an utility in Worm Armageddon, available for use only in online games.

Super Kamikaze is when a worm inflates like a balloon, becoming three times bigger and then explodes, inflicting a massive damage to an opponent. Do worms go to heaven?

Maybe.

How about Kangaroo as the weapon of mass destruction? Kangaroo moves and explodes similar to the weapon Sheep, except that the mother kangaroo can hop higher and she has joey in her pouch. Joey will leave the pouch only if you press Enter, otherwise it will explode together with his mother. Joey always initially heads in the opposite direction of his mother.

Hard to visualize this weapon. Extremely comic. No, definetely no.

Why, you didn't see my thread?

We need to keep the forum tidy and it isn't going to be tidy if 10 people post a new thread about the same subject.
