Graboid

The Graboid is a fictional species of sandworm that acts as the primary antagonist of the Tremors franchise. The creature made its debut in the 1990 film Tremors (although the name "Graboid" was only mentioned briefly), and reappeared in its four sequels and the Tremors television series.

It is store owner Walter Chang (Victor Wong) who names them, and later gets eaten by one in his store. The only other person in the first film to use the term "Graboid" is Val McKee (Kevin Bacon). In the second movie Earl Bassett (Fred Ward) recalls the name "Graboid". The creature is similar to the legendary Mongolian death worm. According to UGO.com, "Graboids are to the desert what sharks are to the ocean".

Graboids have three known stages of life:

The first is the underground dwelling stage, dubbed the "Graboid," and the most well-known form of the creature.

The second is the walking stage when the Graboid leaves its underground skin and grows two legs, dubbed the "Shrieker."

The third is the flight stage where they still have the appearance of stage two but with wings, and a tail that launches flame, dubbed the "AssBlaster".

Forgotten Land Of Ice

by: Kryptos

Proverbial presidents on an astral sky,
Despotic mortal in disguise.
Black cloaked mystery men will rob your soul,
Psychosis has captivated you
Your growing old.
Tales of carnality and bereavement
Land of ice where lies and infidelity are born.
Malignant misanthrope perverse newborn minds
Superficial mothers disburse themselves on wine
Lion hearted fathers confront over borderlines
