Line 50:
* The ''[[Dune]]'' film by [[David Lynch]] helped codify their typical appearance. They're also a [[Fantastic Cavalry]].
* ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'', where the ''Millennium Falcon'' lands ''inside'' one - well, inside of an Asteroid Worm - and barely escapes.
** Don't forget the Sarlacc, which resembles a sandworm at least in which parts of it we are able to see. It's pretty stationary, so it might be more like an [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever|enormous antlion]] [[In Space]]. It feeds on things that fall in ''very slowly'', preserving them for thousands of years and [[And I Must Scream|absorbing their minds]]. [[Tales From Jabbas Palace]] also shows that they're psychic.
* ''[[Beetlejuice]]'' was taken out by one of another iconic Sandworm species that lived on Saturn. These had white-and-black stripes and one mouth inside another- compare the xenomorphs of the ''[[Alien]]'' movies.
* The Jags from ''[[Vexille]]''. METAL sandworms. Gigantic tubular rotating masses of scrap (bio)metal.
Line 146:
* These pop out of the sand in the Egyptian stage of ''[[Castlevania]]: Portrait of Ruin''.
* ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' has Sand Worms ''and'' Snow Worms. Which are pretty much a white/blue [[Palette Swap]].
** [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World|The sequel]] has them, as well, where they're among the largest monsters you can have on your team. They're also a bit unusual in that they have arms.
** ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'' has them as well.
** ''[[Tales of Hearts]]'' has a Sandworm boss, several miniature versions of itself populating its dungeon, and a later [[Palette Swap]] in the final dungeon.
