MyNamesArt has been active in the Torchbearer community for a while now, and he's started streaming some Torchbearer content! Check out his Twitch here and give him a follow. In this installment, he digs into our wicked and dope Grind zine and makes a new sand wurm statblock for the Dastards & Desperados hack using the Master's Manual guidelines! That's a Mordite Press trifecta!

Sand Wurm

Wingless, legless dragons, these desert monsters are nonetheless equally mobile moving through the sand dunes or burrowing beneath them. They lack a breath weapon or even the ability to roar, with the tongues of their winged brethren being replaced with a much longer and thicker one that prevents speech, complete with a toothed sucker for grabbing and pulling fleeing targets into its gaping maw. The tongue also has caused another mutation - while having otherwise the overall appearance of a regular dragon’s head, the lower jaw of a sand wurm actually splits in two when the tongue is deployed.
