The sandworm bursts out with a roar. You’ve got seconds to find rocky ground, fighting? Forget it, these desert beasts are unkillable. But don’t fret; you can craft thumpers to call them away, giving you precious time to escape. ExploringDune: Awakeningdemands your A-game. The sandworms will always come.
Now, the big reveal, the threat level, depends on where you are. Deep in the Arrakis desert or harvesting Melange (aka spice), you’ll face the biggest, worst sandworms. And yes, they’re the kind you’re able to’t outsmart. They swallow you whole. Intrigued?

Denis Villeneuve Explains Sandworm Evolution InDune: Part Two
InDune: Part Two, director Villeneuve dives deep into the evolution of sandworms on the big screen. These aren’t your typical sandworms from the first movie. Sure, they’ve got the same look circular mouth, crystal teeth, and tough hide, but they play a whole new role in the story.
As perHitechglitz, Villeneuve explains that in the first part, sandworms were more of a mystery, lurking in the background. You’d catch glimpses of them sucking down spice harvesters, but they remained mostly unseen. That’s partly because sandworms are naturally shy creatures, always trying to stay hidden beneath the sand.
The limited sandworm sightings also reflect the perspective of characters like Paul Atreides and Duke Leto, who are new to Arrakis. To them, sandworms are these terrifying, unknown creatures. But as the story progresses, we get a closer look at these beasts, especially when Paul and Jessica find themselves face-to-face with one in the deep desert.
InDune: Part Two, sandworms take center stage. We see them up close, riding them into battle, even raising a baby sandworm. This shift in focus is all thanks to Paul’s alliance with the Fremen. They see sandworms as sacred beings, treating them with reverence while also using them for practical purposes like transportation and waste disposal.

This evolution of the sandworm from a scary monster to an everyday part of life mirrors what happens in Frank Herbert’s novel. As Paul learns more about Fremen culture, he becomes fascinated by their relationship with sandworms.
For Villeneuve, this exploration of culture and connection resonated deeply. It’s all about immersing yourself in a new way of life and embracing its traditions even if it means mastering a sandworm or two.
