The sandworm is the great lifeform of the Arrakis desert, armoured in interlocking scales and drawn to any rhythmic beat on the sand.
Nothing else on Arrakis compares. The sandworm is the planet's dominant lifeform, honoured and feared at once. A worm lives beneath the sand and comes up after rhythmic vibration on the surface, because a steady beat reads as an intrusion on territory it will not share. The skin is thick, rough and semi-metallic, built of interlocking scales a few feet across that armour the animal against the sand it moves through.
