How to Make Squirm Dandy's World 3D Models for Free

TL;DR: Squirm is the newest Toon in Dandy's World on Roblox and already one of the most fan-created characters in the game. This guide covers his unlock requirements, abilities, and Twisted form, then walks you through three ways to turn Squirm into a Roblox-ready 3D model: AI generation with Meshy (fastest, about 60 seconds), manual modeling in Blender (most precise), or building directly in Roblox Studio with plugins (most accessible).

Squirm is the newest playable Toon in Dandy's World, the mascot horror survival game on Roblox that has surpassed 6 billion visits and 90 million unique players. Released on February 27, 2026 as part of the Achievements update, Squirm (also known as Squirm the Book Worm) is a nervous, caterpillar-like character whose introduction immediately reshaped the game's meta and triggered a wave of fanart, OCs, and 3D fan creations across the Dandy's World community.

This guide covers everything you need to know about Squirm: who he is, his abilities, his Twisted form, and, for the creators in the community, how to turn Squirm into your own 3D model that you can drop straight into Roblox Studio.

What Is Dandy's World on Roblox?

Dandy's World is a mascot horror survival multiplayer game on Roblox, developed by BlushCrunch Studio and created by Qwel. Up to eight players each pick a Toon, the game's word for its cartoon characters, and descend together through the floors of Gardenview Center. On every floor, players have to complete machines to extract Ichor, the game's purple energy currency, while avoiding Twisteds: dark, corrupted versions of the Toons that hunt the team down.

The game launched in alpha on June 14, 2024 and has since grown into one of the most successful character-driven horror experiences on the platform, peaking at over 866,000 concurrent players in 2025. There are currently 39 playable Toons in Dandy's World, each with their own stats, ability, lore, and matching Twisted form. Squirm is one of the most recent additions to that roster.

Who Is Squirm in Dandy's World?

Squirm is a Toon in Dandy's World designed around extraction, the act of completing machines on each floor. He was added in the Achievements update on February 27, 2026 and is purchasable from Dandy's Store in the lobby.

What Does Squirm Look Like?

Squirm is a caterpillar-like Toon with six body segments alternating between blue and mint, two mint antennae, a heart-shaped lime patch on his face, and greenish-yellow limbs on the middle segments. He's the first non-pet Toon in the game that isn't bipedal. He was kicked out of Brightney's book club for eating the books instead of reading them — officially titled "Squirm the Book Worm," though he believes he's closer to a caterpillar than a worm.

What Are Squirm's Stats in Dandy's World?

Squirm's stat spread is built around one thing: clearing machines fast.

Squirm has max-tier Extraction Speed (1.5 units/second) with balanced Skill Check and Movement, making him one of the best extractors in the current meta. The tradeoff: low Stamina (125) and Stealth (★★) mean he's vulnerable when Twisteds get close.

What Is Squirm's Ability in Dandy's World?

Squirm's active ability is called Distressed Delicacy. It's a hold-down ability (not a tap): you hold the ability button to wind it up, Squirm eats a book, and gains +100% Extraction Speed for 10 seconds. The cooldown is 80 seconds.

The hidden mechanic is what makes Squirm meta-defining: standing near a bookshelf causes Squirm's ability cooldown to recover twice as fast. This is the first time a Toon's cooldown can be reduced by environment rather than trinkets or cards, which means good Squirm players will pick machines that sit close to bookshelves and chain the buff almost continuously. When Squirm is positioned well, his ability roughly halves the time to complete a machine, from around 23.7 seconds down to 11.8.

One thing to watch: while you're holding down the ability to wind it up, Squirm's Movement Speed drops by 50% (to 7.5 walk / 12.5 run). Don't start the wind-up if a Twisted is closing in.

How Do You Unlock Squirm in Dandy's World?

To unlock Squirm, you need to meet three requirements:

1. Collect 3,000 Ichor through machine completion, ability use, capsule pickups, and floor progression
2. Reach 50% Research progress on Twisted Squirm, by walking under him and triggering his grab attack (or by playing Rodger, whose passive doubles Research gain)
3. Own at least 3 Titles by completing 3 Achievements and redeeming their Medals in the Journal

Once all three are met, Squirm becomes purchasable from Dandy's Store for 3,000 Ichor.

What Is Twisted Squirm?

Twisted Squirm is Squirm's corrupted enemy form, classified as a Rare Twisted that can spawn on any floor. He hangs from the ceiling in a cracked, light-green cocoon dripping with Ichor — the only Twisted in Dandy's World that doesn't walk the floor. He reaches down to grab Toons who pass underneath, then relocates, leaving dust puffs that reveal his direction.

The cocoon is also a lore clue: Squirm isn't a worm, he's a caterpillar mid-transformation.

How to survive him: Look up. Retreat around corners to break line of sight before he reaches. If grabbed, mash A/D (PC) or wiggle the joystick (console) to break free — Smoke Bombs and Connie's Haunting Escape both work mid-grab as emergency saves.

The reward: Reach 100% research on Twisted Squirm and you unlock the Stress Ball Trinket — +5% Extraction Speed for 15 seconds on every completed skill check, stackable. On a Squirm main, this is effectively a permanent stat increase and one of the strongest extractor trinkets in the game.

How to Make Your Own Squirm 3D Model for Roblox

Within hours of his release, Squirm fanart, OC redesigns, and plushie concepts flooded the Dandy's World community. Now, a growing number of fans are taking it further by turning Squirm into 3D models they can import into Roblox games, use as avatar accessories, set up for animation scenes, or 3D-print as desk figures.

There are three main paths to building a Roblox-ready 3D model: AI generation, manual modeling in Blender, and building directly in Roblox Studio with plugins. Here's how each one works for Squirm.

Method 1: AI Generation with Meshy (Fastest)

You can go from idea to a Roblox-ready Squirm model in about 60 seconds with Meshy AI.

1.Generate the model. Sign in to Meshy and choose Roblox as your target platform. You have two options:

• Text-to-3D: Describe Squirm in detail. Here's a prompt you can copy and refine: "A cute caterpillar character with six segmented body parts alternating in blue and mint green, two mint-green antennae on the head, a heart-shaped lime green patch on the face, four small lime-green limbs on the lower segments, large expressive cartoon eyes, Roblox-friendly low-poly style, clean topology, friendly cartoon proportions."
• Image-to-3D: Upload a Squirm reference image (screenshot, official render, or your own fanart). Usually the fastest way to keep the character recognizable.

2.Refine for Roblox. Use Remesh to dial the triangle count into Roblox's character-friendly range (5K–10K triangles, well under the 21,000-triangle cap). You can re-texture with a text prompt for stylized variants ("watercolor Squirm," "neon Squirm," "plush Squirm"), and use Meshy's auto-rigging plus 500+ animation library for basic movement without any Blender work.

3.Send to Roblox Studio. Open the DCC Bridge menu and click Send to Roblox. The model uploads directly into your Roblox Creator Hub inventory as a package. On the free plan, you can also download as FBX, OBJ, or GLB and import manually.

Method 2: Manual Modeling in Blender

Blender gives you polygon-level precision that AI can't match, making it ideal for an exact canon replica or a highly stylized OC variant.

1. Model the mesh. Build Squirm's segmented body with extrude and loop-cut tools. His six alternating segments are a natural fit for modular modeling.
2. UV unwrap and texture. Apply his blue/mint color scheme and the heart-shaped lime face patch.
3. Rig and animate (optional). Add a skeleton if you want Squirm to move in-game.
4. Export as FBX or OBJ and import into Roblox Studio.

The tradeoff is time. Expect a few hours to a few days depending on your experience, compared to about 60 seconds with AI generation. Our Roblox 3D model guide walks through the full Blender-to-Roblox workflow.

Method 3: Building in Roblox Studio with Plugins

The most accessible option if you're already in Studio, with no external tools needed.

1. Assemble primitives. Use blocks, spheres, and wedges to rough out Squirm's body segments.
2. Combine with solid modeling. Union and Negate the shapes together, then use plugins for more advanced geometry.
3. Texture and color directly in Studio's material editor.

This works best for quick prototypes or stylized, blocky versions of Squirm. His curved, segmented body is harder to replicate with primitives alone, so expect a simplified interpretation rather than a canon-accurate model. For a deeper walkthrough, see our Roblox 3D model guide.

Bring Squirm to Life with Meshy

Squirm is a snapshot of why Dandy's World became one of the biggest games on Roblox. A strong silhouette, a memorable backstory, a meta-defining ability, and a community that turned him into fanart, OCs, plush concepts, and 3D models within days of release.

If you've been drawing Squirm and want to take the next step, a 3D Squirm is the natural progression, and it's free to try. Start your first Squirm in Meshy and you'll have a Roblox-ready model in your Creator Hub in about a minute.

And if Squirm isn't your favorite, more Dandy's World character guides are on the way, with Cocoa and Bassie coming next. Each will include the same step-by-step path from canon character to your own 3D model, ready to drop into Roblox Studio.

Frequently Asked Questions About Squirm

What is the fastest way to get Squirm in Dandy's World?

The fastest way to get Squirm is to play as Rodger while grinding the three requirements in parallel. Rodger's passive ability doubles all Research gain, which cuts the 50% Twisted Squirm Research grind in half. For the 3 Titles, target Bronze Achievements like Item Finder, Double Digits!, and Stealth Mission — they unlock through normal play. The 3,000 Ichor accumulates while you do the other two, especially on deeper floors where machine and capsule counts increase.

What does Squirm do in Dandy's World?

Squirm is an extractor Toon — his job is to complete machines as fast as possible so the team can move to the next floor. His active ability, Distressed Delicacy, gives him +100% Extraction Speed for 10 seconds, and standing near a bookshelf halves his cooldown. When played well, he finishes machines roughly twice as fast as the average Toon.

Is Twisted Squirm a Rare Twisted in Dandy's World?

Yes. Twisted Squirm is classified as a Rare Twisted, which means he doesn't spawn every run. He's also the only Twisted in the game that doesn't walk on the floor — he hangs from the ceiling and reaches down to grab Toons who walk underneath. His rarity is why fully researching him to 100% takes patience.

What is Squirm's ability in Dandy's World?

Squirm's ability is Distressed Delicacy, a hold-down ability (not a tap). You hold the ability button to wind it up, Squirm eats a book, and gains +100% Extraction Speed for 10 seconds. The cooldown is 80 seconds, halved when standing near a bookshelf. Note that winding up the ability slows Squirm's movement by 50%, so don't start it near Twisteds.

What's the best trinket for Squirm?

The Stress Ball Trinket, earned by reaching 100% research on Twisted Squirm, is the best in-slot pairing. It stacks +5% Extraction Speed for 15 seconds every successful skill check, which compounds with Squirm's already-max Extraction Speed.

Where can I download a Squirm Dandy's World 3D model?

There's no official Squirm 3D model download from BlushCrunch Studio. Most "free download" links on Sketchfab or Roblox marketplace are fan-uploaded and have inconsistent quality. The faster path is to generate your own Squirm 3D model in about 60 seconds using a tool like Meshy AI, which lets you customize colors, pose, and style, and exports directly to Roblox Studio as FBX, OBJ, or GLB. Your own version also avoids any IP gray areas tied to redistributing fan-made downloads.

Can I make my own Squirm 3D model?

Yes. The fastest way is to use Meshy AI to generate a Roblox-compatible model in under a minute and send it directly to Roblox Studio. You can also build one manually in Blender for full creative control, or use Roblox Studio's built-in solid modeling tools for a simpler version. Our Roblox 3D model guide covers all three methods in detail.

Can I make a Twisted Squirm 3D model too?

Yes. The Image-to-3D path in Meshy works just as well on Twisted Squirm. Upload an in-game screenshot or wiki render and the model reconstructs the cocoon, Ichor claws, and elongated antennae. You can also drive it from text — try a prompt like "a corrupted caterpillar in a cracked light-green cocoon, hanging from the ceiling, dripping Ichor, with sharp claws replacing its arms, red eyes, Roblox cartoon horror style."

How do I draw Dandy's World characters like Squirm?

The community usually starts from official full-body references on the Dandy's World Wiki, then redesigns from there. For 3D, you can shortcut the whole pipeline by uploading your reference into Meshy's Image-to-3D and adjusting from the generated mesh.
