Adversary overview

A colossal, ancient sandworm, its purple hide rippling with power, a territorial apex predator of the deepest desert, attacking anything that dares to cross its domain on the surface.

“A colossal form emerges—a creature of nightmare, its scales a mottled, glistening purple, its maw a gaping cavern of razor-sharp teeth. It is a Sand Worm, a leviathan of the dunes”
