And as the Ice Worm slept, a bad exterior decorator stepped in and came up
with the hideous combination of white, blue, black and trans-neon-peach.
Many centuries later, the Ice Worm woke up and saw what had been done.
The Ice Worm was not pleased, and lo, he did cover it all over again before
returning to his slumber.
Then some other crazy decorator combined orange, black, and blue with
trans-blue. Realizing that cold weather discouraged attractive color
combinations, the Ice Worm called down the wrath of his pals in the
Blacktron hegemony.
And it was good.
And stylishly done.
And though the Ice Worm lost his preferred environment, he rather liked
being devoid of ice when the alternative was to be devoid of fashion.
Then the Blacktrons went all soft and neon.
In a fit of sadness and self-pity, the Ice Worm committed suicide.
It's a sad story, really... wouldn't it be better to be a frog than a worm?
