Their mouths are lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth capable of swallowing the floor beneath you and devouring anything in their path.

With a smaller specimen being called a child-sized, and some of the largest recorded Kdomo being called great-grandfather and great-grandmother-sized.

- Diet: Carnivorous, with a preference for large mammals and other creatures found in desert regions. The Kdomo consume vast quantities of sand to aid in digestion, filtering out nutrients from the particles.

- General behaviour: Sand Wyrms are solitary creatures, rarely interacting with others of their kind except during mating season. They spend much of their time burrowed beneath the desert sands, waiting for prey to pass overhead. Sand Wyrms are opportunistic hunters, ambushing their victims with lightning-fast strikes from below. They play a crucial role in the desert ecosystem, controlling populations of herbivores and scavengers.
Kdomo have inhabited the deserts of this world for countless generations, their origins lost to time. They have coexisted with the native human population, the Huru, who view the sandworms with a mixture of fear and reverence. Legends and myths abound regarding the mysterious creatures, with some Huru tribes even worshipping them as deities.
Throughout history, Kdomo have played a significant role in shaping the ecology of the desert. Their presence has influenced the behaviour of other desert creatures and contributed to the survival strategies of the Huru. Despite occasional conflicts with human settlers and attempts to eradicate them, the Kdomo continue to thrive in the harsh desert environment, a testament to their resilience and adaptability.
In more recent years the Kdomo have often been the focus of poachers, who aim to find younger and smaller specimens of this race. These creatures house a rare toxin within their bodies that with the right alchemical mixtures can create an intense high for the user. Thus the interest of hunting these beats has increased with time.
