Sand Worm (Final Fantasy X)

The Sand Worm is an enemy from Final Fantasy X located in the Sanubia Desert, on Bikanel Island. Although intimidating, it is not a difficult enemy to defeat. Its main attack is Swallow, which will remove a party member from the battle for several turns. This will then be followed by Regurgitate, which will cause the regurgitated character's next turn to be delayed, but he/she will be usable again. (However, ending the battle after a character has been Swallowed and before they have been Regurgitated will result in 0 AP being awarded to that character, as if they were in KO status.) Earthquake is Sand Worm's other offensive attack that will hit all party members, but takes several turns to cast. The easiest way to defeat it is to inflict Darkness status, and simply use a barrage of physical and magical attacks. In addition, using Bio on the Sand Worm will cause it to lose several thousand HP every turn, drastically shortening the length of the battle.

The Sand Worm drops some particularly useful armor with Auto-Potion and/or HP +10% as well as several empty slots. The weapons that it drops are not as useful with Magic +5%, Strength +5%, Slowtouch, and/or Piercing.
