A player wanted to film a bug in Dune: Awakening. Instead, he discovered a flying sandworm that definitely does not belong there.
In the video on Reddit, you can see a player traveling with his ornithopter to document a bug. However, right at the beginning, you can see something else: A floating sandworm that moves jerkily and misshapen through the sky. After a good minute, the worm disappears as suddenly as it appeared, leaving no further traces.
Sandworms are feared in Dune but do not belong in the air
Why does the worm not belong there? Sandworms in Dune are generally not sky-dwellers, but live beneath the sand surface and make life difficult for players and inhabitants of the game world from there. More information about sandworms in Dune can be found directly on MeinMMO.
Very large sandworms can, however, cause golden-yellow flashes rising into the sky, which are also called worm signs. The worms themselves remain in the sand and only briefly surface.
“Flying” sandworms are, however, continually documented. In one case, a sandworm pulled an ornithopter out of the air, amusing fans of the game.
Some players wanted to know under the user’s post what might happen if one were to encounter the sandworm in the air. Normally, a direct encounter with a sandworm on the ground is deadly.
Whoever wants to collect the valuable spice or sand in the open desert of Dune: Awakening takes a great risk. At any moment, a deadly sandworm can be attracted by the tremors. Now a player claims that there is an animal alarm that warns you of the danger: Does a creature from Dune: Awakening not only show you the way but also effectively warn of sandworms?
