Deathworm

The Deathworm is a large worm that lives in the desert of the Firelands. It has a red exoskeleton, and grows to about two feet long. They are extremely poisonous to the touch, and can be detected by the vibrations coming from their tunneling under the sand, but they normally only come out after it has rained and the ground is wet, which is very rarely, being in the desert.

Trivia

 * It is based on the Mongolian death worm.
