I’m curious as to the comparison of the No Man’s Sky sandworm.
It’s a BEEEEG boi.
Must be a height chart…?
No, is a small specimen. Only 125 meters long.
Yeah but the chart might show how far above ground they go, which would make a lot more sense in that case. Because Sarlac is very low to the ground.
I think the Saturn Sand Worm was a good change to the original flying clocks in an empty void idea.
Where is the Alaskan Bull Worm?
Considering that in a picture I found on the spongebob wiki the alaskan bull worm is five Sandys in height, and that the american red squirrel with tail is long from 25 to 35 cm according to wikipedia, with the tail almost as long as the body, I can approximate Sandy as being 15cm tall. Therefore the alaskan bull worm is approximately 75 cm in diameter, (30 in. in stupid units) putting it first in the line as the smallest
Where Krayt dragon?
This is waaay off. Also missing the D&D purple worm…
And the ones from trigun
FOH there’s no way a graboid is bigger than a sarlacc.
Good work, researcher!
Thank you for your service
In the far future, “Our time scientists discovered debates about worm sizes. The basic unit for worm measurement was a rhino.” … “What is 'a rhino’s?” … “We are unsure still. But they didn’t have many.”
Could add the Exogorth from The Empire Strikes Back. That thing was massive.
So, the sarlacc. The bits of it we see in the movies, are its mouth (the pit with the spiky stuff,) and its (apparently beaked) tongue.
The sarlacc is probably quite a bit larger. (Maybe not dune sand worm big.)
How do sarlaccs multiply? They are not very mobile, so I assume some sort of pollen/spore situation. So it’s “mouth” might also be it’s genitals
The wiki says spores. Good guess!
I would guess it’s exactly Dune sandworm big, in that it’s taken from Dune directly. Almost certainly it started as the same creature.
I’d say not, because they’re apparently large enough that a Krayt dragon can fit into the cavity left behind after eating one. That thing was maybe not as long as a sandstorm, but definitely as chubby
Well, that’s information made up after they appeared on screen first. I guess it depends on what we’re talking about. Talking about the very first appearance, just a mouth in the sand, that’s 100% a Dune sandworm with a different name. Some time after that more detail was added to the world that differentiated it from that.
Last I checked Sandworms didn’t have:
- a tongue, beaked or otherwise,
- a bunch of tentacles that could grab and pull food in
- an apparent inability to move
If you’re going to generalize that much, to say they’re the same… does it really matter? It’s not like Herbert didn’t add to sandworm cannon either; so further explanations to what a sarlacc even is shouldn’t be discounted either.
I wouldn’t even call a sarlacc a worm, to be honest.
The worm in beetlejuice is simply called a Sandworm
Sandworms of Saturn
Wait a second there, there was no beetle juice in Beetlejuice
Everything about this is wrong.
- Graboids are the smallest, maxing out at 10 meters in length.
- The Sarlaac pit is just the mouth. The actual Sarlaac is 100 meters long
- The Beetlejuice Sandworm has a head slightly larger than an average door, so about 1 meter wide.
- Shai Hulud get up to 1000 meters in length (pre-Brian Herbert Lore) and around 40-50 meters wide.
Lisan Al-gaib!
Fuck yeah thank you.
Right? I came here to angry comment and seen I wasn’t alone.
No alaskan bull worm?
Graboids are not that big, they can fit on a flat bed trailer.
Really I think the scale is off. Dune’s sand worms are massive
Also feels like you could fit a flat bed trailer inside of the Sarlac Pit with ease, right?
