For years the sandworm has held a place in Galkan folklore; the enormous worms were said to lurk in the deserts of the underworld, scavenging upon the interred bodies of the dead. Thought for a long time to be nothing more than a fictitious beast, proof of their existence came as a shock during the Great War when they were observed on numerous occasions, burrowing up onto the field of battle to swallow unsuspecting soldiers.

The original sandworm has been spotted in a number of areas, but thus far has not yielded any notable treasures on its own. It can, however, teleport whole parties into battlefield fights, which can yield amazing rewards.

Trivia[]

  • It is very likely that the sandworm named Glavoid takes its name from the similarly designed Graboids, the monsters from the movie series Tremors. Their names are in fact the same, as Glavoid and Graboid are different Romanizations of the same Japanese characters.
