Sandworm (Final Fantasy V)

The Sandworm is a boss in Final Fantasy V. It attacks the party when they try to cross the Desert of Shifting Sands when summoned by Cid and Mid. Upon its defeat, the party is able to use its body as a bridge to enter the desert.

Strategy
The Sandworm will hide during the battle in one of three holes. The party must wait for the worm to pop up, then hit it. Attacking with magic is not recommended, since Sandworm will counter with Gravity, halving the character's HP. He will also use Gravity if the party targets an empty hole. Its other attack is Quicksand, which inflicts Sap on the target.

An easy way to win the battle is to use the Blue Magic spell Aqua Breath. Since the worm is a desert-type enemy, Aqua Breath will do 8x damage, inflicting 3,000 to 4,000 damage, easily killing the worm in one hit. Aqua Breath is easily learned from the Dhorme Chimera encountered on the desert north of Ancient Library. Another way to attack with a water-elemental attack is to throw Water Scrolls with Ninja.
