• Fixed the Ice Worm always damaging the Vehicle/Snowfox/Player from any distance.
• Changed the chance of knocking the player off of the Snowfox when taking damage from the Ice Worm from 100% to 25% to make the encounter less frustrating..
• Changed the Snowfox's collider to make it less annoying to drive by, greatly reducing the amount it can get stuck on obstacles and props.
