Purple worms are identical to the [[Iblis Worm]]s, but with a different color scheme. They resemble segmented worms composed of purple and black lava and their back and head are covered in rock-like armor. They have no eyes and their mouth is mainly composed of three creeping mandibles.

The purple worms are some of the least common enemies, only showing up a few later [[Action Stage]]s. They appear in [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]]'s version of [[Aquatic Base]], [[Wave Ocean]] and [[Dusty Desert]], Silver's version of [[Aquatic Base]] and [[Flame Core]], and in the [[End of the World]].

Purple worms have several attack patters. One of them consists of them bursting out of the ground which will release shockwaves that can damage the player. Rumbling dust will indicate where they will appear. Close up, they can breathe black gas or swipe their bodies around, and for long-range they can throw fireballs at the player (which can be grabbed with [[Psychokinesis]]). In addition, their fireballs can explode upon impact, dealing damage should the player be caught in their range. They can also dive into the ground, releasing harmful shockwaves upon impact as well.

A Purple worm can take four hits before it is destroyed, after which they release [[Light Core]]s. It is also very difficult to paralyze them with moves like [[Psycho Shock]] and [[Chaos Spear]] as when they move, they can sometimes block them.

Occasionally, a purple worms' command systems are linked to the lesser members of its kind, allowing them to commandeer them. At the same, should such a purple worm be destroyed, all its underlings will fall as well.<ref>Sonic Team, Blindlight (24 November 2006). Sonic the Hedgehog. Xbox 360/PlayStation 3. Sega.

The purple worms are completely mindless creatures acting purely on instinct and only exist to cause destruction whenever they are.

The purple worms are slightly stronger than their [[Iblis Worm|corresponding cousins]]. In addition to greater endurance, they can breath a special black gas rather than flames and create purple and spiked fireballs for them to spit out and explode upon contact. They are also capable of burrowing underground.
