Street Worm

The Street Worm is a boss ghost in Jack the Reaper. It is the sixth boss of the game, and it is fought in Manhattan. It is the ghost of an old corrupt politician who failed to win the mayoral election. Because he couldn't take life anymore, he lept in front of a moving bus, killing himself.

Appearance
The Street Worm is an enormous worm-like ghost, approximately 60 feet in length. Like real worms, it is segmented. Its head consists of a large beak-like mouth and a single bloodshot eye on a long stalk. The Street Worm has a large fin-like appendage on the back of its "neck" and six small "legs", which is uses to burrow. The end of its tail features a large "bony" appendage with spikes on the underside.

Jack the Reaper
The Street Worm is fought at the end of Manhattan Round 5. It attacks by burrowing upwards from the ground from underneath Jack, biting Jack, sending a geyser of concrete spewing out of the ground, or by spitting chunks of cement at him. The Street Worm's weak spot is its tail. Grabbing the plate on its tail with the Spirit Sash will cause the Street Worm to throw Jack onto its head, allowing Jack to wrangle the eye and wail on it.

The Street Worm ending cinematic features a cinematic car chase that involves Jack tying one end of the Spirit Sash to the back of a car (one that the Street Worm is chasing) and using the other end to lasso the Street Worm's tail. At the last second, as the car is driving towards the piers, Jack jumps off. The car plunges into the water, dragging the Street Worm down to the bottom with it.

Death
In life, the Street Worm was Joe Moriarty, a corrupt politician who failed to win the mayoral election and took his own life by jumping in front of a moving city bus.
