Weird Earthworm Jim fact

Initially Earthworm Jim began as a maggot character.

At this point he didn't have the Jim part of the name.

Years later when this information was leaked online,

people who'd joined the development project AFTER the change

tried to call out the person who leaked the info as a liar

only for the original character creator to confirm it as true

and to this day some people still believe the maggot story to be a lie.

The reason for the change is even more bizarre

apparently the character creator got into a heated argument

with some random other guy not connected to the project at all

the subject being what the difference was between

maggots

and gnat larvae.

after that the character was changed to an earthworm.

nobody is really sure who won that argument.

but changing the character to an earthworm removed the issue.
