The {{name}} is a powerful yet peaceful giant worm-like creature that can be found wandering the [[Salt Dunes]] or deep underground. It possesses vast [[Strength]] but low [[Mental Armor]], making it an excellent candidate for [[Proselytize]] or [[Beguiling]].

== Burrowing ==


When a {{name}} is burrowing, it moves once every two turns, creating a red highlight in the space before it. Anything standing in that space when the salt kraken advances will be destroyed; this causes [[instant death]] to the player and other creatures.  Additionally, the {{name}} will produce one of the following objects at its previous position:
When a {{name}} is burrowing, it moves once every two turns, creating a red highlight in the space before it. Anything standing in the highlighted space when the salt kraken advances will be destroyed; this causes [[instant death]] to the player and other creatures and is one of two ways to receive [[Achievements#*gulp*|the *gulp* achievement]].  Additionally, a burrowing {{name}} will produce one of the following objects at its previous position:

==Tips==
{{Opinion}}
* It possesses vast [[Strength]] but low [[Mental Armor]], making it an excellent candidate to {{f|Proselytize}} or for {{favilink|Beguiling}}.
* Following a {{name}} while possessing {{f|Butchery}} is a good way to rack up lots of meat and other products for [[cooking]], as well as certain pieces of equipment.
** Rarer corpses such as {{f|kaleidoslug corpse|plural}}, or corpses of more dangerous game such as {{f|giant heap of chrome scrap|giant heaps of chrome scrap}}, are often faster to encounter and safer to retrieve in the path of a {{name}} in a high [[zone tier]] than from their respective creatures.
* {{name|plural|caps}} who live in procedurally generated villages will not burrow.
* Legendary {{name|plural}} will tend to leave their own lairs through the walls.
