Worms computer games/Holy Hand Grenade

The Holy Hand Grenade is a much more powerful version of the regular grenade. It also differs in that it will not explode until it comes to a rest, and the fuse cannot be set. It also appears to be a little heavier, so that it won't go as far when thrown, or bounce around as much when it lands.

The Holy Hand Grenade causes significant amounts of damage and will typically kill any worm nearby. Its shockwaves will cause damage to worms through landscape, and can knock a worm over a ledge. The shockwaves can also launch a nearby worm across the screen, usually with enough force to cause death.

Before it explodes, the Holy Hand Grenade emits a cloud of purple vapor, and a choir of angels sings Hallelujah!

The name of this weapon references the Monty Python movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
