The '''Blastworm''' is an enemy featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', first encountered in the [[Forest Temple]]. When injured, the Blastworm will roll into a spiny ball which detonates on contact. Though these animals seem heavy, they can, in fact, be blown about using the [[Whirlwind]], aiding in the several [[puzzle]]s found about the Forest Temple that require the activation of unreachable [[switch]]es. Blastworms are naturally quite docile, though they will crawl towards [[Link]] if he comes too close.

Blastworms resemble caterpillars or other larvae. [[Stagnox]] throws Blastworms out of its backside during its second form, which must then be blown back at him to cause damage.
