Sand Worm

The Sand Worm is an enormous beast that appears in the Campaign mode of stage 4 in Kingdom Rush: Frontiers, Dunes of Despair.
==Description==
The Sand Worm stalks beneath the battlefield, hungering for prey.
Every now and then, a miniature sandstorm forms around one group of your ground units: either soldiers, reinforcements, mercenaries or a Hero. Several seconds after that, the Sand Worm will emerge, mouth first, from the point where the sandstorm appeared. Every ground unit caught by the worm's mouth - friend or foe - will be instantly eaten. Giant Wasps, Ashbite and Bonehart are not affected. The worm then burrows again, and the cycle starts anew.
==Strategy==
*Pay attention to the sandstorms and move your troops accordingly; especially when the Sand Worm is targeting mercenaries: they cost money and cannot be easily replaced.
*Don't turn off the sound effects or mute the game to make it easier to identify when the Sand Worm appears. There is a rumbling noise signalling its arrival. It will always appear beneath a group of stationary troops.
* The Sand Worm appears during waves 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 14.
* The Sand Worm may kill enemies next to the unit, and if timed correctly, it can deal with difficult enemies with ease.

==Trivia==
* The Sand Worm looks similar to the Dune Terror.
* In the Heroic Challenge and Iron Challenge, the Sand Worm's huge carcass can be seen in the southern part of the stage.
* The Sand Worm and the Dune Terrors could be a reference to the movie "Tremors", where a giant worm is shown containing hundreds of smaller worms in his stomach.
* Both the Sand Worm creature and Mua'Dib achievement are references to the 1965 science fiction novel Dune. The Sand Worm looks almost exactly the same as its Dune counterpart in Dune II, while "Muad'Dib" is the title of Paul Atreides, the main protagonist of Dune, which refers to a desert mouse admired by the Fremen for its ability to survive in the open desert.
