Had a sudden....idea...headcanon...what you'd call it while drawing a Jolly Geologist comic. And while (STRUGGLING) to find a good picture of the Dark Worms, I noticed that Jolly's skull helmet is actually kinda similar to the Wormy heads.
I know they're actually quite huge (and the hole in the center is probably the big obvious difference), but maybe he found the skull of a young Wormy while looking for rocks? Not accusing him of killing one for a cool hat. He doesn't seem the violent type. I mean, he joined Nightbird Whisperer in bird watching. So he CLEARLY likes animals too.
Just a thought.
