These huge bugs carefully care for their pups, and never even stay away from the eggs they lay. "

ground-based iceworm
If the that makes the desert island survive Beye comes to the Lugaoyin area of Diablo 2, then he will definitely be very happy. Because there is a high-protein bug in the desert area of this area, which has a chicken flavor, crispy, rich nutritional value, and comes with some cubs that can be packed back and eaten slowly. This is the sandworm from the distant oasis and maggot nest, and it is also the protagonist of this article.
game settings
sandworm, also known as desert worms, is named for their burrowing habits, but this creature is actually an arthropod rather than a worm. These bugs were once the raw materials for desert delicacies that Lugaoyin residents love. Residents in these desert areas usually collect eggs of sandworms and make them into paste-shaped foods rich in protein . Foods made from sandworms as raw materials can complement local specialty dry foods well and further increase their nutritional value and unique flavor.
adult sandworms
However, with the activity of evil forces in Lugaoyin area, the eggs and larvae of adult sandworms now contain a deadly venom. This venom not only causes harm to the human body after consumption, but also corrodes human skin once it is touched.
Now sandworms have become a threat to desert areas rather than food sources, but fortunately, locals have gradually found ways to kill these species. Although the chitin shell of mature sandworms is difficult to penetrate by bows and arrows, using melee weapons can pierce the shell of sandworms and eventually kill them.
Monster background
These huge insects usually appear in the desert of Arano, but the Hell's Fire River area is also full of traces. These creatures have many legs on both sides, and a pair of large pliers on their heads. Sandworms have hard exoskeleton armor, and this shell can protect their fragile internal organs well.
sandworms
When sandworms feel threatened, they will spit out venom to temporarily blind the enemy and wait for an opportunity to find a place to hide. When they find prey, they will emerge from the ground and launch an ambush. Although sandworms live underground most of the time, they prefer to lay eggs on the surface. These eggs have a short hatching time and do not take too long, and new larvae will break out. These larvae are less threatening to adventurers due to their small size.
Handicap with sandworms
According to the suggestions of Lu Gaoyin's bar owner "Kigles", it is more suitable to use melee weapons against sandworms, because these sandworms have very slow attack speed and will be easily killed during close combat. Because the sandworm's armor is very thick, crossbows or other long-range weapons are not suitable.
Monster species and characteristics
Sandworms mainly appear in the 1-3 layers of distant oasis and maggot nests, and they can lay sandworm eggs. In hell difficulty, sandworms are immune to toxic damage.
The female insect of the sandworm
There are four subspecies of the sandworm, namely the stone insect, the devourer, the giant octopus and the bloodworm. The sandworm and all its variants of the motherworm are the larger-sized ground-boring iceworms.
Original settings
In the earliest design, after the sandworm spit out the venom, a piece of toxic mucus will appear in the area where it is hit. Players will be poisoned when they step on these mucus. But the final effect was eventually abolished because it was similar to the effect of the giant spider in the third act.
