No matter how you slice it, the Graboid and the “Beetlejuice” sandworm are both truly harrowing beasts. Graboids are aggressive, scarily precise with their attacks, and far from easy to defeat. Meanwhile, what the “Beetlejuice” lacks in strength and size, it makes up for in its appearance. Its wide-eyed, toothy face springs from a larger, equally toothy mouth, which is an undeniably frightening sight to behold. At the same time, their reputations in their respective universes aren’t nearly as strong as that of the “Dune” sandworm.
Much like its two contemporaries, the Arrakis sandworm is feared among those aware of its existence. After all, it’s a massive creature that surveys the planet’s endless dunes and launches attacks at the mere presence of someone or something in its territory. Still, its awe-inspiring and mysterious nature has earned it a place in the “Dune” universe of respect and honor. It’s an untamable creature with no want for power, yet it effectively rules Arrakis. Not to mention, its very existence is necessary for the creation of the coveted spice melange: a substance required for space travel that lies at the core of the “Dune” franchise.
All in all, if you’re looking for a sandworm deserving of the mantle of most physically and reputationally strong, the “Dune” sandworm is the clear choice.
