Alpha Deathworm — Detailed Guide

The Alpha Deathworm is the alpha form of the Deathworm, the sand predator of Scorched Earth. It is much larger, glows red and has far more health, about 27,000 base. Like a normal Deathworm, it bursts out of the sand to chase anything in range.

Where to find it

Scorched Earth only, in the dunes and more often far from solid ground. Its red glow makes it easier to spot at night.

How to get one

You cannot. It is not tameable, rideable or breedable, and it is torpor immune.

Uses

Tips

It stays above ground longer than a normal Deathworm, which gives ranged attackers more time to hit it.
