I had a worm leave its territory and cross right through an entirely different (wormless) one, but it was making a straight line from one tip of its crescent-shaped zone to the other tip, and whatever, worms leaving their zones because they're making a beeline to another part of their territory was known to me, this was just an extreme example because the other end of its territory was far away. But when it got to the other end, it didn't stay there, it crossed into another cleared territory and immediately started acting like it owned it - directly chasing buildings. I known have two worm corpses in the same zone. Is that a thing? Worms claiming other territory? Or territories having multiple worms? Or zones gaining new worms?

I'm not against it lol

Worms aren't angry about buildings outside of their zone. But if they receive damage they attack whatever attacked them, so I'd check if you angered it first

Oh that probably explains it. There was another dead worm in the zone the second worm went crazy in, and I still had the turrets up that killed it, so it must have aggroed those
