Creature · ICARUS 3.0.26 · Week 248
Giant worm-like creature native to Icarus. Partly to blame for the ubiquity of cave systems on the planet. Most common in arid areas - though it's theorized this creatures life cycle takes place over a variety of environments.
The Sandworm has been a focus of a plethora of studies. The UDA see these worms as a source of non-terrestrial biological technology. Chief Geneticist Dr Amelia Tohu has been tasked with gathering more information on the species.
"We've seen radical mutation in species we've introduced into the terrazone. And over a relatively short period of time the change has been remarkable. Well, the Worms. This species is old. It's been exposed to exotic material for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. It's evolution is inseparable to this exposure. We must focus on learning more" - Dr Amelia Tohu
This creature is not listed in any spawn zone in the shipped tables — it is placed by a mission, a boss encounter or a tame, rather than by the world spawner. Its biome and maps above come from the bestiary itself.
