The Purple Worm (Gargantuan Monstrosity, CR 15) is the apex predator of the Underdark in Dungeons & Dragons. These massive creatures tunnel through solid stone at incredible speeds using tremorsense to detect vibrations up to 60 feet away. With the ability to swallow Large creatures whole and a poisonous tail stinger that delivers 42d6 poison damage, the Purple Worm is one of the deadliest monsters adventurers can face.

Despite their animal-level intelligence (Int 1), Purple Worms are perfect killing machines that have remained unchanged for millennia. They create the tunnel networks that make up much of the Underdark, their 10-foot-diameter passages becoming highways for other creatures. Purple Worms are hermaphrodites that lay clutches of silvery eggs three feet in diameter, which are highly prized by Underdark alchemists and collectors.
