Sand Worm

Sand Worms only appear in the vicinity of Palamecia desert, and then only after the Cyclone has appeared. Their attack is on par with similar foes, but they also have an Earthquake 10 attack that can hurt the whole party at once. They have plenty of HP but pitiful defense, so basic attacks are the way to go about bringing them down.
