Line 169:
* ''[[Dune]]'', ''[[Dune II]]'', ''Dune 2000'' and ''Emperor: Battle for Dune''
* Viva Pinata doesn't technically have a sandworm, but the Whirlms can dive into the ground without making a mark and pop out again without any dirt on them, so they could easily burrow through ground like a sandworm if they wanted.
* The Burrow Beast in ''[[Destroy All Humans]] 2'', a ''[[Tremors]]'' [[Shout
* If memory serves, there were a couple of these in ''[[Ratchet and Clank Going Commando]]''. Some were real sand worms, and some were ice worms.
* In the [[Patapon]] games, there are two Sandworms named Zaknel and Dokaknel in the deserts. They drop vegetables.
Line 190:
* ''[[Darksiders]]'' has these in a desert called the Ashlands, with an even larger one as the boss of the area.
* The Subterranean in ''[[Turok (Video Game)|Turok]]: Dinosaur Hunter'' (N64).
* ''[[Mousehunt]]'' has the "[[Added Alliterative Appeal|Big Bad Burroughs]] Mouse" and its smaller brother, the Itty-Bitty Burroughs Mouse. They're pretty much a [[Mix
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series has some robotic ones in ''[[Sonic 3 and Knuckles (Video Game)|Sonic 3 & Knuckles]]'' located in Sandopolis zone. Alien worms appeared in ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]''. More organic and fiery ones can be found in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (Video Game)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]'' although the latter two seem to prefer any surface, not just sand.
* ''[[Time Splitters]]: Future Perfect'' has twenty-foot-long vicious dirt-worms in the backyard of the haunted mansion. The player gets to rescue a scientist who had taken refuge in a tree by defeating the worms with a flamethrower. The scientist also references ''[[Tremors]]'' by name, in keeping with the game being filled with movie [[Shout
* The [[Spell My Name With an "S"|Hapurubokka]] from ''[[Monster Hunter (Video Game)|Monster Hunter]] Portable 3rd'' is a three-way cross between a sandworm, a sand shark and a submarine. It even has the distinctive "burst up vertically from the sand and eat something on the way" move.
* ''[[Black Sigil]]'' has a desert in which are sandworms. You can avoid them by walking through a specific path, but going out of said path leads to interesting items (in [[Inexplicable Treasure Chests|chests]], of course).
Line 207:
== Webcomics ==
* ''[[Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]'' finally gets one of these [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0688.html in this strip], complete with several [[Shout
* ''[[Looking for Group]]'' had one show up recently and ''munch {{spoiler|CALE!}}''
* In ''[[Demon Eater]]'' some demons are seen to grow into this shape.
Line 232:
== Real Life ==
* Quite a few desert snakes or legless lizards behave a lot like sand worms, avoiding the sun's direct rays by sliding along just under the surface of loose sand. Few are more than a couple of feet long, however.
* The seaside-dwelling [
