Shattered World Crisis[]
Act One[]
A number of Sand Worms under Black Death's control joined a new invasion of Sonic's World onboard the New Black Comet. There, they fought Team Dark and the Spider Troupe when they invaded the New Black Comet. Despite Shadow temporarily joining their side, the Sand Worms could not stop the invaders from blowing up the New Black Comet with a nuclear warhead while Shadow killed Black Death, resulting in the Sand Worms' end.[2][3]
Personality[]
Like most Black Arms soldiers, the Sand Worms have no clear behavior of their own and are but an extension of their hive-mind's ruler.
Powers and abilities[]
The Sand Worms are efficient burrowers and are durable enough to withstand close-up gunfire without harm. In addition, the Sand Worms are "living missile launchers" which can launch projectiles at their foes.[2]
