The Sandworm is a boss that appeared in the game [[Pikmin:The After Years]]. It resides in two caves, the [[Carnivorous Cave]] and [[Rememberance Ravine]]. It is a giant beige worm and is about twice the size of [[Emperor Bulblax]] from [[Pikmin 1]]. It has blood-tinted teeth and glaring red eyes. When you first encounter the beast, [[The Ship]] will warn you that this beast goes for BLOOD! Since Pikmin don't have blood, the Sandworm will go after the current captain. It will occasionally burrow back in the ground. Once it does this, be careful ,for it will jump out of the ground and lunge for you. This farther away the boss appears, the easier it is to avoid this attack. The only way to damage this boss is by hitting its tongue.


==How to Kill==
The '''Sandworm''' appears in ''[[Pikmin: The After Years]]'', where it is fought first on the final sublevel of the [[Carnivorous Cave]] and later again in the [[Remembrance Ravine]]. It is a giant beige worm that has glaring red eyes and sharp bloodstained teeth and is about twice the size of the [[Emperor Bulblax]] fought in {{p1}}. The Sandworm regularly feeds on other creatures, typically [[Coconut Jellyfloat]]s.
Try tricking this monster into eating a [[Bomb-Rock]]. Fortunately, there are many bomb-rocks on the ground when fighting this creature. It will fall to the ground, dazed, with its tongue sticking out. Chuck Pikmin, preferably [[Purple Pikmin|purples]] on its tongue. Once it regains consciousness, it will stick its tongue back in its mouth and any Pikmin still on it will be eaten. Repeat the process and it will explode in a gruesome manner, leaving only its head.


==Trivia==
Upon first encountering the Sandworm, [[Hocotate ship|the ship]] warns the [[leader]]s that the beast, preferring meat over plant matter, will eat them rather than [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] unless it must. It attacks by lunging out of the ground at leaders in an attempt to eat or [[Blunt force|crush]] them, but no matter whether or not it misses, it burrows underground to try again. Contrary to the appearance of its skin, the Sandworm can be harmed only by attacking its tongue, which is possible after tricking the creature into eating a [[bomb rock]], which there are plenty of nearby. Doing so causes it to fall to the ground, dazed, with its tongue sticking out of its mouth. Once it recovers, the Sandworm pulls its tongue back into its mouth, eating any Pikmin still latched on at the time, and returns to its usual behaviors. Upon death, the Sandworm explodes gruesomely, leaving only its head to be carried back to the [[Hocotate ship|Research Pod]].
*This boss battle has a similar strategy to that of the Emperor Bulblax in Pikmin 1.
 
*This boss battle is similar to that of [http://www.zeldawiki.org/Molgera Molgera] as they are both worms and their weak points are their tongues.
The Sandworm also has a [[dark matter]]-infused variant, which is known as the "'''Dark Sandworm'''". The Dark Sandworm appears only in the [[Galactic Warpzone]], the final cave, and it is a much stronger version of the Sandworm that has much more health, faster and deadlier attacks, and the ability to use a new, unique attack in addition to its existing ones.  
*This boss is also based on the creatures called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandworm_(Dune)|Sandworms] from the movie '''''Dunes'''''.

The Sandworm appears in Pikmin: The After Years, where it is fought first on the final sublevel of the Carnivorous Cave and later again in the Remembrance Ravine. It is a giant beige worm that has glaring red eyes and sharp bloodstained teeth and is about twice the size of the Emperor Bulblax fought in Pikmin 1. The Sandworm regularly feeds on other creatures, typically Coconut Jellyfloats.

Upon first encountering the Sandworm, the ship warns the leaders that the beast, preferring meat over plant matter, will eat them rather than Pikmin unless it must. It attacks by lunging out of the ground at leaders in an attempt to eat or crush them, but no matter whether or not it misses, it burrows underground to try again. Contrary to the appearance of its skin, the Sandworm can be harmed only by attacking its tongue, which is possible after tricking the creature into eating a bomb rock, which there are plenty of nearby. Doing so causes it to fall to the ground, dazed, with its tongue sticking out of its mouth. Once it recovers, the Sandworm pulls its tongue back into its mouth, eating any Pikmin still latched on at the time, and returns to its usual behaviors. Upon death, the Sandworm explodes gruesomely, leaving only its head to be carried back to the Research Pod.

The Sandworm also has a dark matter-infused variant, which is known as the "Dark Sandworm". The Dark Sandworm appears only in the Galactic Warpzone, the final cave, and it is a much stronger version of the Sandworm that has much more health, faster and deadlier attacks, and the ability to use a new, unique attack in addition to its existing ones.
