It's all fun and games until the world gets taken over by genetically engineered bulletproof worms.
Can you imagine walking into the woods and having a kevlar strand catch on your face? You end up garroting yourself trying to get untangled.
And then getting caught by said worms and being cocooned as you desperately try to break free.
