Sand burrower

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Sand burrowers were huge carnivorous worms that lived under the dune sea of Blenjeel. Jaden Korr witnessed a sand burrower swallow a survivor that was stuck on the planet when his ship crashed there, and was forced to avoid them as he searched for spare parts to repair his ship.

They were extremely sensitive to ground vibrations and would try to devour anything that moved on the surface.

[edit] Behind the scenes

These sandworms appear to be based on the sandworms of Frank Herbert's Dune or the graboids of the film Tremors.

A good way to avoid these creatures in gameplay is to use Force speed and run from obstacle to obstacle among the wreckage or avoid the ground altogether.

One way to kill one is to throw a thermal detonator onto the ground. If a creature swallows two of these, it will die. In-game, however, there is an infinite amount of burrowers, so killing them is somewhat pointless.

In the game , they are referred to as either "sand_creature" or "sand_creature_fast", although there is no difference between the two types.

In the game , typing in the cheat "npc kill all" will eliminate the threat of this level allowing the player to explore Blenjeel without harm.
