Editing Sandworm

The '''Sandworm'''<ref>{{cite|date=July 1, 2003|author=Stratton, Steve|title=''Wario World: Prima’s Official Strategy Guide''|page=34|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-4323-6}}</ref> (referred to as '''Big Scorper''' in the game's European website<ref>[http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/warioworld/enGB/ Wario World official site]{{dead link}}</ref> despite this being the name of [[Big Scorper|an unrelated enemy]]) is an antagonist in ''[[Wario World]]''. It is a scythe-armed monster based mostly on {{wp|antlion}} larvae, which make sand pits and have very large jaws, though the scythe arms of the Sandworm appear to reference the {{wp|praying mantis}}, which has arms shaped like a scythe. The Sandworm is fought as a boss in a large [[quicksand]] pit at the end of [[Greenhorn Ruins]] and then later as an enemy in [[Pecan Sands]]. It attacks mainly by spitting [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]]s at [[Wario]]. Sandworm takes damage from being hit repeatedly, but it cannot be stunned. When the Sandworm loses a health skull, it becomes temporarily invincible and either slashes after Wario or burrows to the center of the arena to spit several spiked balls in random directions as the sand pit moves faster. The Sandworm slices with its arms at Wario as it becomes more damaged. Sandworm takes five hits to defeat, or four in Pecan Sands.
