Description
"Graboid"
Scientific Name: Caederus Americana
Length: 30 feet
Width: 6 feet
Weight: 10-20 tons
Diet: Omnivore; eats anything that makes a sound

Graboids are large subterranean omnivorous worms that live in desert regions or hilly plains. Most of their region is located though the southern United States to Mexico all the way to Australia and the Sahara Desert. Lacking eyes they sense vibrations through the ground to find prey. This advanced echolocation allows them to even detect obstacles like rocks or cement in their path.
Their body mass is mostly made up of muscle. Like that of a common earthworm they have spike-like protrusions in their sides that allows them to "swim" through the dirt. Thanks to their tough hide they're immune to conventional weaponry except the lines from elephant guns to anything explosive. To catch anything they have three long serpentine-like tentacles. Each tentacle can reach up to six feet and have hooks on them for latching onto prey. They even have taste sensors to tell if the prey is edible.
Graboids are the first stage of their life cycle. When preparing the birth of the next stage they surface and stay idle. From a viewers point-of-view it looks like it is sick. Once the birthing cycle happens the Graboid shrieks in pain as its body is bursted open and then the second stage of their life cycle, Shriekers, begins.
