DUNE - How Big Do Sandworms Get?

You may think you know how large the sandworms in Dune can get, but the truth may surprise you. Check out this video for a complete breakdown of every stage of the sandworm lifecycle, starting from little sand plankton, all the way to the "great grandfather" worms of the deep desert. I'll also explain how the sandworms are connected to the mystical spice melange.

From the "little makers" that produce the Water of Life to full-grown adult sandworms, Dune has featured tons of differently sized worms, or Shai-Hulud. Watch to the end to see just how big they can get!

Fremen 1: hey guys, think about it, these giant all-devouring monstrosities.... what if we jump on their backs and ride them with a pair of hooks?
Fremen 2: I got a cool idea too. What if we take some water...
Fremen 3: the thing we absolutely need to live?
Fremen 2: uh-huh
Fremen 3: but there's so little of it on the planet we need to recycle our own piss
Fremen 2: ... yea, that. So anyway, we take a whole bunch of water to make a pool and then we just dunk a small worm in it.
Fremen 3: brooo... if anything comes out of it... we should drink that.

Weirdest thing about these worms is, that their entire life cycle is practically a cannibalistic closed loop. They create their own ecosystems and are their own food source.

where do you put the dune popcorn bucket in that list ?

[Deadeye]

i love how a literal god of death that only exist in the desert starts off as a plankton, not even a cool egg or smh just.... *smol*

The thumbnail reminded me of the Underpants Gnomes from South Park.
Step 1: Sand Plankton
Step 2:
Step 3: Profit

The question i have is how do they get off the worm because its moving at like 150km/h+

[somethingelseidk]

Do adult sand worms create the same poison as the juveniles once it has injested enough water?

[trilobite]

Sandworms eat their young as a main food source?

[Yippee-Aviation]

Who do you think would win ice worm ( subnautica) or the sandworm (dune)

[leshart]

how does the worm get the nutrients required to get that big? do they eat spice?

[emilygivens]

OK, I’m finding out about Dune and yeah, I’m listening to it on audible😂😂😂😅

[Utopiafire]

nice video, but you literally read some parts directly from the wiki.

[nicholasloschiavo]

I wonder if some of a sandworm's biology can help me understand the biology of the gargantuan leviathan from subnautica

Imagine the Br1-burav from atomic heart battling one of these

[TND]

Omg i wanna an actual review of all stages in 3D just imagine em inrl

[josefkieferitom]

[jonathandixon]

Did this inspire the SpongeBob episode?

[monicawoods]

Are sandworms actually real because if I saw a real sandworm, that big man, it would probably be too late for me💀
