Description

--- **TLDR** Earthworm advances 3 spaces underground beneath the hive, then exchanges positions with a specified target bug, enabling strategic repositioning without surface disruption. (18 words) Key mechanics include: - *Underground movement*: Earthworm travels exactly 3 spaces under the hive structure. - *Position swap*: Exchanges location with a target bug after moving. The Earthworm's core ability allows it to navigate precisely 3 spaces beneath the hive's tiles, bypassing surface obstacles, before swapping positions directly with a designated target bug, facilitating deep tactical maneuvers and rearrangements within the game's hive-based board. ---
