[edit] Important Locations
These planets are important to the storyline of Earthworm Jim and appeared in both the animated series and the video games.
[edit] Earth
A diverse planet with many different climates and landscapes. The Earthworm Jim Earth is much like our own and is the home and birthplace of Earthworm Jim. It is populated by humans and a wide variety of animals, including Earthworms.
[edit] Planet Heck
A fiery planet ruled by Evil the Cat and similar to Hell, reflecting Evil's personality. Is covered with spiked walls and precariously placed cliffs and ridges. Full of the evilest things found throughout the galaxy, including elevator music and rabid lawyers. The planet was featured in the first Earthworm Jim game in the level "What the Heck?" as well as being featured in the Earthworm Jim animated series for several episodes. The name Heck is a colloquialism of Hell while the planet itself is probably inspired by the Planet Apocalips from the DC Comics.
[edit] La Planeta de Agua
As its name suggests, La Planeta de Agua is a planet mostly covered by water. It is home and base of operations for Bob the Killer Goldfish and his feline minions, as well as a large quantity of unintelligent fish. The planet was featured in the first Earthworm Jim game in the level "Down the Tubes" as well as being prominently featured in the Earthworm Jim animated series. Any mention of the planet's name would always be followed by a brief Mexican fanfare and the word "Arriba!". It should be noted that in Spanish, "planeta" has masculine gender so the planet would be correctly named El Planeta de Agua.
[edit] Insectika
A Planet populated by intelligent insects, Insectika serves as a base of operations for Queen Slug-For-A-Butt as well as the apparent homeworld of the Xerbs, including Princess What's-Her-Name. Besides the Queen, the world's government features a place for the Arch-Bug, who serves as the Queen's personal adviser as well as the palace looney. On at least one occasion, the planet held a revolutionary democratic election. Unfortunately, the only candidate to run was Queen Slug-For-a-Butt, leaving the planet in much the same state is was before. The Queen was also dethroned by the combined effort of Psy-Crow and Professor Monkey-For-A-Head, though she soon returned and retook control of the planet. The planet was featured in the first Earthworm Jim game in the level "Buttville" as well as being featured in the Earthworm Jim animated series for several episodes.
[edit] Video Game locations
Other planets and locations that appear in the video games. Some were never given official names and are therefore listed here with names based on the names of the levels the appear in.
[edit] New Junk City
("New Junk City")
A large city-sized junk yard. The landscape is made of mountains of trash and refuse such as school buses and old tires. It is full of hungry crows and rabid poodles and is run by a hygiene-challenged human named Chuck. Its location is never stated but it is presumably located on Earth.
[edit] Peter's Planet
("For Pete's Sake" and "Puppy Love")
A planet covered in dangerous cliffs and man-eating plants. It is battered daily by meteor showers and is raided by passing aliens. Home planet of Peter Puppy and his many siblings.
[edit] Anything but Tangerines
("Anything But Tangerines")
The summer home of Bob the Killer Goldfish. A.B.T. is filled with blunderbuss-shooting flying octopi, happy groups of pigs, and falling grannies (who apparently get a great senior citizen discount).
[edit] Planet Burbank
("Lorenzo's Soil")
A planet resembling a large antfarm with many hanging mounds of shiftable dirt. Populated by giant ants and maggots, it is ruled by Lorenzo Larva and his twin brother Pedro Pupa after Psy-Crow sold them the deed to an otherwise worthless planet.
[edit] Living Intestine Planet
("Intestinal Distress" and "The Villi People/Blind Sally")
A planet resembling a large working intestinal system. Ruled by Doc Duodenum.
[edit] Psy-Crow Planet
("Andy Asteroids?")
Unnamed planet where you battle Psy-Crow, should you lose the race to him. Psy-Crow gets harder to beat as you get further into the game.
[edit] Planet Ate
("Level Ate")
A planet resembling various food items with giant grills and forks. Ruled by Flamin' Yawn.
[edit] Mucus Planet
("Snot a Problem" and "The Flying King")
Planet covered in a mucus-like membrane with ridges of hardened ooze and vast pools of green slime. Ruled by Major Mucus and possible home planet of Snott.
[edit] Level Five
("Level Five")
Professor Monkey-For-A-Head's large orbiting space-station lab. It is full of the Professor's strangers experiments and large electrodes and walk way. It is unknown what planet it orbits, but it would seem to be mobile.
[edit] Iso Planet
("ISO 9000")
A planet covered with tax forms, living file cabinets, and, quite possibly the worst creatures on the whole planet, the Masked Lawyers.
[edit] Cow Planet
("Udderly Abducted")
A planet populated by cows and strange aliens.
[edit] Lost Vegas
("See Jim Run, Run Jim Run")
A planet where Psy-Crow takes Princess What's-Her-Name to get a quick wedding.
[edit] Big Bruty's Planet
("Big Bruty")
A desolate planet with an eerie landscape, rickety wooden structures and numerous bees. Home planet of the dinosaur Big Bruty.
[edit] Circus of the Scars
("Inflated Head")
A strange planet resembling a large carnival. Normally ruled by Evil the Cat's cousin Flagitious, but during Heck's summer off-season, Evil switches jobs with Flagitious and runs the circus himself.
[edit] Animated Series Locations
Some places appeared exclusively on the Animated Series. Here is a description and which episodes they appear in.
[edit] Terlawk
(Several episodes)
Earthworm Jim's hometown, which is attacked by outer-space creatures on a more-or-less regular basis. This is probably due to Jim, but the reason may also be due to a smart-aleck ex-NASA employee who painted graffiti on a space probe saying "Hey, Stupid Aliens! I dare you to destroy Terlawk!" who now currently works at the Terlawk General Store. Terlawk is an American city, but its location is never explicitly stated. Its name is a play on Turlock, California, the hometown of Earthworm Jim's creator, Douglas TenNapel
[edit] The Planet of Easily Frightened People
("The Sword of Righteousness")
As the name suggests, this planet is the home of the Easily Frightened People, who fearfully respond to any and all on their planet with a single scream of "AHHH, A (insert object here)". Keeping place of the "Orb of Quite Remarkable Power." Psy-Crow is very fond of this planet.
[edit] The Forest of Justice
("The Sword of Righteousness")
Home of The Sword of Righteousness and the training place of all his students.
[edit] The Land of Ooze
("The Wizard of Ooze")
An alternate dimension akin to the movie The Wizard of Oz, with Jim's friends and enemies portraying different characters.
[edit] The Fabled, Long-Sought Home of the Gods
("Assault and Battery")
Fabled and long-sought. Many have searched for it and perished, but Jim was aided in his quest by "The Fabled, Long-Sought Phonebook of the Gods". Professor Monkey-For-A-Head has somehow also been able to find it, as he once had a Battery of the Gods (which is the power source for Jim's Super Suit), and was able to return to try and get another. On the second visit, however, he apparently got himself turned into a bread maker as retribution.
[edit] Malodoron 6
("The Book of Doom")
Home of the foulest smelling creatures in existence, The Reeking Beasts. Due to a grievous printers error, a page of a popular children's book, "Fuzzy Wuzzy's Funny Animals Pop-Up Book", speaks of a way to destroy the universe by making all the beasts on the planet gaze upon a fondue fork. Not surprisingly, Evil the Cat once tried to cause such an incident.
