Once they're fully grown their digestive system resembles a nuclear reactor more than a stomach and they eat literally anything and can get energy out it. Even sand.

I think sandworms can get big enough to hear their own noise and try to eat themselves. Just deep desert stuff

I heard of a sandworm that had one of its ring segments surgically removed so that it could eat its own tail

How did this myth spread to every teenage Fedaykin's sietch?

TIL my dog is a sandworm.

I assume they get most of their nutrition from filtering stuff out of the sand, like baleen whales scooping krill out of the ocean, and humans are just their favorite treats. They can’t get enough of those delicious, delicious people, and who can blame them?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

i dont think they enjoy eating humans at all, they just do it to protect the spice sands (the colonies of their offspring)

I want a worm god. I feel like it would simplify my life in many ways

i think the best part would be that you'd get to use an awesome curse:

"Here's the way of it: 'Burning be on you, Atreides! You shall have no souls, nor spirits, nor bodies, nor shades nor magic nor bones, nor hair nor utterance nor words. You shall have no grave, nor house nor hole nor tomb. You shall have no garden, nor tree nor bush. You shall have no water, nor bread nor light nor fire. You shall have no children, nor family nor heirs nor tribe. You shall have no head, nor arms nor legs nor gait nor seed. You shall have no seats on any planet. Your souls shall not be permitted to come up from the depths, and they shall never be among those permitted to live upon the earth. On no day shall you behold Shai-Hulud, but you shall be bound and fettered in the nethermost abomination and your souls shall never enter into the glorious light for ever and ever.' That's the way of the curse, My Lady."

Maybe I need to get into laying curses as well

"I like this idea about giant worms chasing you down because you made this wrong noise."

"Sand doesn't work like that."

"Oh, I've written a third of the book already and this mechanic is referenced a lot. This will be special sand."

What else is a sandworm gonna do? Taxes?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

they use their balls wiggle to move, and their shaft to pick direction

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

My spirit animal. My backside is also like a nuclear furnace when I've had Chinese food.
