 A monstrous beast the size of a semi truck with a tripartite mouth that opens to reveal hundreds of writhing tongues with razor sharp edges. It keeps most of its enormous body hidden underground. 

This creature is a tank sized worm. It's a competent fighter with extremely high hit points. It's faster than you, clumsy, has high armor against bashing weapons and moderate armor against cutting ones (that includes bullets).

It has extremely high morale and it's aggressive. Being a worm, it's afraid of being hurt, and can be angered by nothing in particular.

It is able to dig through the ground (becoming immune to traps and fields), can hear noises, is poisonous to eat (produces tainted meat when butchered), is able to track noises particularly well, can bash destroyable objects in its way (like doors), destroys anything in its way (like walls), is warm blooded (it appears in infrared), can produce leather when butchered, can produce fat when butchered, and nothing else.

Being made of flesh, it's vulnerable to nothing in particular.

When it dies, it splits in two half worms.


(View - Edit Notes )Notes

Graboids can be found with their little brothers, giant worms, in dirt and grass terrains. They can only move on terrain that can be dig through, so characters standing on a road are completely safe from them. (Just don't stand on the edge and presume they can't hit back: they can.)

This enemy is a reference to the movie Tremors, in which the two main characters fight giant underground worms called Graboids.
