Notes

  • This enemy is noticeably larger than other worms, ranging from 12 to 21 segments long.
  • The Dune Splicer is very agile, and can turn very quickly. This can be especially dangerous due to the Dune Splicer's large hitbox.
  • In a sandstorm, this worm becomes the second fastest worm in the game, only beaten by the Phantasm Dragon.

Trivia

  • Dune Splicers may be inspired by the sandworms in the Dune franchise.

The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Dune Splicer: "The world's largest, most deadly worm. Strengthened by ancient magicks, it can devour a spicy Terrarian quicker than they realize."
