Description
Some rough sketches for a design I've been fiddling with. Merging the idea of giant desert worms via Dune and Mongolian Death Worms, with draconic wyrms. Looking at shovel nosed lizards, polychaete worms, and moles. Playing around with the idea of substituting actual horns with retractable feelers to achieve the same silhouette without obstructing burrowing ability.Related content

You should also have studied the Naked-Mole-Rat for their adaptations... But the concept and design in general is pretty interesting.

Concept and design is pretty cool, but I think those "whiskers" and horns could interfere with the burrowing. Burrowing species usually have a dull, sometimes even blunt, profile, to help them to "swim" through the soil.

That's why they're not whiskers or horns, but retractable antennae, as described above. It would not have these out while burrowing at high speeds.
