The Multiworm is clearly a crucial stage in the complex Alien life cycle.

This is one of the first units you will meet. It can be dangerous, as it does spit a weak acid at you, but it's main advantage is that when you kill it, more often than not, it spawns four [[Hyperworm (Apocalypse)|Hyperworm]]s, which can be a bit of a pickle for your troops to shoot all four before your troops get critically injured. Otherwise, a weak, slow-moving unit which is pretty weak if faced by two or more guys. It's just those darn hyperworms you gotta watch out for...

For capturing one alive, I suggest stun grapples. Heck, unless I was trying to capture an alien in a bottleneck area such as a ship's doors, I don't think I ever used anything other than stun grapples. Get in close enough, and then just fire until you can't fire anymore. Leave one person to watch the multiworm, so that your man shoots it the moment it wakes up. Otherwise, they are pretty easy to capture.

A slow moving green worm with red lips and a toothy grin that spits strong acid at nearby hostiles and births four hyperworms upon death.

Infiltration
Multiworms are common within Mega-Primus buildings only in the beginning of the infestation since they with change into another lifeform soon after.
Multiworms, when moving to other buildings when spreading across Mega-Primus, may hatch, birthing four Hyperworms.

Combat

Unit

Multiworms are very resistant to psionics.

Multiworms move slowly. Heading straight, they will extend their body (two-cells) whereas they will contract to a 'blob' (one-cell) when turning to face a new direction.
A Multiworm attacks by spitting a green projectile which has a short range (12cells) but will try to avoid combat unless supported by other aliens. It does not bite anything. A lone multiworm will try to hide or attempt to escape the battle.
The Multiworm has very high health but once dead, the worm 'turns into' four hyperworms which are a further threat. Stunning a healthy Multiworm is not possible unless the lifeform's health is reduced to approximately half to two-thirds. A stunned worm does not give birth.

Resistance
Multiworms are resistant to any stun effects.

A captured Multiworm is very important to further X-Com's understanding of alien genetics and reproduction.
