She has three different secondary types: Steel, Grass, and Ground, determined by the cloak that Burmy was in when she last battled. Unlike Burmy, her cloak is permanent.
The coat of leaves/sand/building insulator has now fused with Wormadam's body on a sub-molecular level. Wormadam's eyes have changed from yellow to white. Wormadam's beak is longer and is tipped with either green, brown or pink. Its antenna is also longer, with the coil on a more elongated position. Wormadam has a pair of arms that are either made from leaves, chains of brown pebbles or pink ribbons.
Gender differences
Wormadam are the female of the species. For the male counterpart, see Mothim.
Special abilities
Wormadam's type is variable, depending on the kind of cloak it wears. Additionally, it is capable of learning a few Psychic-type moves. In the anime, it is shown to be able to move around by floating in the air.
Behavior
Wormadam appear to swing like a pendulum, with the ball at the top of its antenna always staying in the exact same spot, even when hit with an attack, as if it was glued to that space. This may be due to its slightly Psychic-type nature, learning many Psychic-type attacks naturally. However the antenna falls out of place when it faints. It is said that a Wormadam that evolves on a cold day will have a thicker cloak.
