Sandy caught Wormy

Wormy is a caterpillar which is shown in the episode of the same name. Wormy is found inside the Treedome when Sandy leaves for a holiday. Wormy quickly becomes SpongeBob and Patrick's best friend. They play a variety of games together including hide-and-seek and tag. Wormy is even given a badge that says best friend (meaning SpongeBob and Patrick's best friend). One night, when SpongeBob and Patrick are sleeping, Wormy forms a cocoon, then becomes a butterfly. The next morning, when SpongeBob and Patrick come back, Wormy is a butterfly. He becomes the so-called "monster" of Bikini Bottom until Sandy "rescues" the town. Wormy caused the whole town to be destroyed including the signs and stores.

Life

The life of Wormy is only seen in his titular episode and his life as a caterpillar was short since he soon turned into a butterfly but he was not seen any more after that.
