Squirm's stats, in real numbers

The stars are the rating the wiki's Toons Statistics List gives Squirm. The number under each one is what the wiki's Statistics page says that rating is worth in game. Those are two separate published tables and this is a lookup between them — no figure below was calculated here.

Twisted Squirm appears on the ceilings. Getting too close to him will cause him to reach down and grab the player. Clicking side to side quickly enough will let the player go, otherwise, Twisted Squirm damages them. After Twisted Squirm grabs a player, he traverses to a different area.

Research entry

This ravenous Twisted hangs from the ceiling looking for books to eat. Look up, or you might just end up in this Twisted's grip. if caught, your best chance is to struggle free before it's too late.

Where this comes from

Star ratings come from the wiki's Toons Statistics List; the numbers beside them come from its Statistics page. Abilities come from its Abilities table, and the unlock requirements, Mastery quests, skins and pronouns from Squirm's own page. Last synced August 14, 2026.

The release date shown above, February 27, 2026, is the one the wiki states in words. Its infobox also carries "02/27/2026" in a numeric format the wiki uses inconsistently across pages, so that string is never reformatted here.
