#### special abilities
### Breath Weapon (Su)
Once every 1d4 rounds, a sand wurm can breathe a poisonous cloud in a 50-foot cone. Creatures in the area are exposed to the poison. Breath Weapon—Contact; save Fort DC 26, frequency 1/round for 6 rounds, effect 1d3 Dexterity damage, cure 2 consecutive saves.
### Sand Walk (Ex)
A sand wurm is as sure-footed on shifting sand as on solid ground and never needs to make a Acrobatics check to move on sand during normal conditions.
### Tremorsense (Ex)
While underground, a sand wurm can automatically sense the location of any moving thing within 90 feet that is in contact with the ground.
