The Overloading Worm is a returning Boss Monster in Risk of Rain 2. Being a Boss, the Overloading Worm may be encountered after initiating a stage's Teleporter Event or normally after progressing far enough in the difficulty.

The Overloading Worm is a considerably stronger variant of the standard Magma Worm Magma WormMagma WormMagma Worm

, boasting 5 times as much health and dealing 5 times as much damage. The Overloading Worm is not considered an Elite version of the Magma Worm, but instead a unique monster. As a result, items that specifically interact with Elite monsters will be ineffective against it, and challenges pertaining to Elite monsters cannot be completed by defeating it. Due to its high cost to spawn (5 times as much as a Magma Worm), it is the rarest monster in the game, and requires a very high difficulty level for it to spawn at all.

Lore

“...And upon a great serpent, the hero did ride. Majesty and respect were his command, and so too his steed. A mighty creature, born of lightning and flame, bathing all in its presence in a magnificent blue glow. 

The beast stretched from one horizon to the next and belched storms that reminded all of the hero’s promise: that this land – and all those who live here - would never suffer again...”

- Galactic Fables, Volume IX
