I think there was some attack from Mortal Kombat where a character digs underground and then attacks on the way up on the opponent.

Although probably a better example is the Dig attack from Pokemon.

It's also a fairly common attack for video game bosses. I know of at least two bosses in Star Wars The Old Republic who do this kind of thing, a few in World Of Warcraft and dozens of examples all over single-player gaming.

Worm Sign?

Worm Sign seems more of a indicator of where an underground character is moving than an attack. Anyways, maybe I should fire this up on YKTTW?

Speaking of which, does an attack that creeps along the ground count there? If not, is it tropable?

I was thinking more underground than on along the ground.
