Request: Dune Sandworm

[Kyramus]

If anyone has ever seen the movie Dune. Has anyone converted it to d20?

I've tried looking for sources on the web and found that Dune never made it that far. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's how to make a Dune Worm in three easy steps.

1. Open up your MM to page 152.
2. Take the stats for the purple worm
3. Advance it until it is colossal.

Result: One Dune Worm.

1) it isn't close to being a dune sandworm
2) colossal is just a small specimen
3) I didn't say I was in a hurry to get the stats. I want something close to the actual terrifying power of the worm in the book, not just a brown colored purple worm that can't sting anything.

I know that, anyways, it was just a suggestion.

Now, if you want a dune sandworm, try making it...

Let's see...

Creature Type: Vermin, Beast, or Magical Beast.
Size: Colossal
HD: 60 to 100
Special Qualities: Tremorsense 1000', Damage Reduction 25/+5

That should get you started.

Combat:
Superior Grab (Ex): If a Dune sandworm successfully hits, it may attempt to swallow as an immediate free action.

Improved swallow whole: The Dune sandworm may attempt to swallow a grabbed opponent of any size by making a successful grapple check. The opponents size is considered one size smaller for this purpose. Swallowed opponnents take 4d10+10 crushing and 4d12+8 acid damage per round. A creature can cut his way out by dealing 100 points of damage. Once the creature escapes, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out.

Tremorsense: A Dune sandworm can automatically sense the location of anything within 1000 feet that is in contact with the ground. In addition, it can tell general direction of any moving of small size or larger to a 10 mile radius

Immunities: Dune sandworms are immune to all poison and disease.
