Back in 2nd edition, I think we lost two parties trying to kill the same Purple Worm !! The first one was a random encounter, the second one was an attempt at revenge...
*In my campaign when my party was fighting off a Stone Giant, their fighting was so hectic that it Lured a Purple Worm to them and it took the giant away and the day was saved thanks to the Wormy Boi*
@@MrHocotateFreight I was thinking the same thing hahaha
who would win:
a 18 foot tall humanoid behemoth capable of lifting and throwing massive boulders, leaping dexterously across jagged mountain peaks, and posing a threat to even the toughest mortals
VS
one wormy boi
Bought to you by a GM who cares, and obviously not Troy Christmas. He cares, but… he will absolutely kill ya boy Johnny Halfling.
I have the 3.5 MM and I never noticed that they have a swim speed and that their environment included aquatic. That’s epic.
I remember when my party's druid (Circle of the Desert) kept a purple worm a pet and eventually just kept using true polymorph to-
I don't want to talk about it.
Wait but purple worms usually only mate once per year!

So much D&D lore seems to have been lost in 5e material. It's great that you do these summary videos. Saves me having to trawl through my old books for the details.
Tbf, there's nearly 50 years of dnd lore out there. 5e can't cover it all, but that doesn't mean it's not canon
@@nathanielranney9163 thats not really true, many things over the years have been changed and removed and saying they aren't canon is blatantly false. like when he said that purple worms have a swim speed is a full on lie, as much as i like these videos Rhexx has a serious problem with understanding how lore works in dnd and that not everything is canon anymore just because he thinks its interesting
@@joedatius I mean, a lot of the changes and removals are purely mechanical and have nothing to do with lore, with no in universe reason to support the change. Purple worms used to essentially have a swim speed by way of being equivalent to an aquatic monster. This is true.
Nothing about the lore of the forgotten realms changed in such a way that would alter the anatomy of a purple worm, the lore just isnt all there for 5e and a lot of the creatures were either simplified or redesigned. Again, most of these are not in universe changes though, just oversight.
@@dmdoombot8796 its not oversight or has to do with in universe changes, the literal universe simply changes due to how editions work, it doesn't need a reason for why they dont have a swimspeed anymore. you just have a misunderstanding on how dnd editions work for the forgotten realms works. when you make a jump from something like 4th and 5th edition everything pretty much changes as pretty much a restart, its not a continuous world
It's weird to talk about "canon" and "non-canon" in an edition, everything exists as a convenience for the players to then decide what they want to include in their own game. "Rules as written" is a thing but even that is explicitly just a suggestion at best. So having the full context of how a monster has been depicted in previous editions just gives you more options when the time comes to implement it in your own games, "purple worms can't swim now because they didn't write that part in this time" isn't really a thing in this hobby.

Biologist: Oh right, so just...worm anatomy.
Yeah, pretty much. Minus the chitin armor and stomach acid, or stomach in general
Chiot of course😆
Annelids in particular, except for the tail stinger. Of course there should be a much bigger limit on what parts can be regrown.
@wargent99 Gotta disagree, love myself natural monsters
@@chiot2875 but... theres worms in the real world with all those things
Everyone’s always like “oh crap a purple worm” but no one asks “what’s a purple worm?”
Because it's you dont need to ask, because you can see what they are capable of. XD
“It’s a new thing to murder!” -the party
“Guys please let’s not-“ -the only one with half a brain cell
“It’s just a worm, what’s the worst that can happen!”
That’s why we here
@@somerandomguy844 that party has likely perished
No one is like how is purple worm
Love how he’s so amazed by the regenerative powers of the worm. It’s really the only normal anelid thing about them. Is beeg woorm.
My party is early into Out Of The Abyss right now at level 3....And I'm totally throwing a purple worm with its head cut off, curled up into a ball to regenerate, on their path.
Just..Just because it's neat and I'll see what happens. Maybe give it like 80hp, and it'll completely ignore them if they don't provoke it
I can’t wait for one of the players to try and hit it
That'll be wonderful, especially if at least one knows what a purple worm is. There's nothing like half the party being like 'oh look a thing maybe we can take it' while the others are torn between desperately trying to find a way to stop them and giving panicked looks at the DM. Did that with a full-fledged vampire with spawn to a level 8 party, and with a den of Illithid led by an Ultraloth and Illithidragon to a group of level 12's.
Damn, they're totally worm food, litterally, if they stung by that tail at this level, even with a successful save! X(
I can’t wait for someone to Nat 20 an Animal Handling check and have a Death Worm as a buddy.
we got a group of Fire Beetles in my campaign before they were all thrown off a boat after I got the group’s leader to like me.
@@somerandomguy844 We actually had something similar to that with a Death Dog.
Ranger rolled a nat 20 Animal Handling check, and tried to cast Animal Friendship on it. Even though death dogs are TECHNICALLY not "Beasts", I let it slide and they got a pretty dope pet for a little while haha
I always wanted to know what a purple worm was they were always so like “oh they exist” But I never really understood them
You never really want to meet one also. I have a DM that ran multiple sessions in a colossal purple worm as a dungeon. It was weird, but interesting. :P
@@megamanx466 this.
@@snailsaredumb9412 Even better is I recently suggested to him that what if he sent his players through a portal on one end, BUT miniature to microscopic on the other when they came out(thereby shrinking their characters). The fun to be had! XD
In my world I have a purple worm who is colossal +, named Korlax the father of all purple worms, they have been a part of the world since before people began writing down history. So no one is sure why it even exists, but it roams this massive desert and never leaves. (The reason it's there is because there is a titan imprisoned beneath the sands of the desert, and Korlax is the contingency plan of the gods if that titan ever wakes up.) The reason purple worms exist in my world is because a giant king at one point decided he wanted to kill Korlax, and when he cut into the worm with his massive weapon made specifically to kill the beast, the blood which stained the sand transformed into the first purple worms.
So I also have "first born purple worms" which are colossal in size, but only 6 of them still exist. They were able to reproduce with each other, and over the course of 10,000 years, they have devolved into the normal purple worm in the monster manual.
@@Bossaru9000 in my world i have a purple worm in my digestive tract, and it eats all my food
Blindsight actually makes a lot of sense, if its suppose to have an acute sense for vibrations. Blindsight is simply "Seeing" without eyes. Tremorsense on its own wouldnt help a creature fight or identify something without having to deal with concealment and whatnot; it would identify the square its in... but knowing its exact shape, location, what it's doing, etc.. It needs Blindsight. But blindsight on its own wouldnt allow it to "See" around corners or within closed spaces.
Blindsight = Kenshi from Mortal Kombat
Tremorsense = Radar
Blindsight + Tremorsense = Daredevil or Toph from Avatar The Last Airbender.
bloodydove5718 I disagree because how are they sensing you with blindsight? You say that blindsight is just seeing without eyes, that is true, but you need a way to see them without eyes. If you have seen any of Rhexx's previous videos about gelatinous cubes and black puddings then you would know that they sense heat. Dragons and bats, on the other hand us heightened senses such as:echolocation, heightened smell, and very good hearing. Back to my original point, purple worms can sense vibration, which is why they are given tremorsense, but with tremorsense you need to be in contact with the ground and moving (attacking, casting spells, walking, etc.), but with blindsight you don,t need to be in contact with the ground. Let's say the purple worm is currently engaged in trying to bite/swallow a fighter and I am flying 20ft above the worm, how would it know I was there? It doesn't have ears, so it can't hear me, it's eyes are looking at the fighter (also eyes don't give blindsight they give normal sight, because the eyes are facing forward, not every direction), and I am not in contact with it, or the ground. I hope you understand why I feel like this makes no sense. Also, I like the Avatar: the last airbender reference.
Edit:I checked, and worms can smell, but that still wouldn't give them blindsight, same way that just because wolves can smell (they can smell really well) they don't have blindsight.
@@derangedmuppet4373 Blindsight imitates the more precise ability to identify and locate targets via vibrations. Its essentially echolocation, which numerous real creatures (like bats) and characters in other IPs (again like toph and daredevil) use via vibrations.
Again, Tremorsense by itself doesnt allow you to identify objects and creatures, or fight without having to deal with concealment, and only works when in contact with the ground (or water, depending on the stipulation). Blindsight covers all those holes.. but blindsight doesnt allow you to sense things around corners, which tremorsense does. They work in-tandem.
Blindsight is a catch-all, its not just the "Blind Samurai" idea, and purple worms heavily imply already with whats just in the handbook and bestiaries why they have it
It honestly makes Perfect sense why they have blindsight and how they use it
@@bloodydove5718 Actually,I will give you the definition of blindsight:A creature with blindsight can perceive its surroundings without relying on sight, within a specific radius. Creatures without eyes, such as oozes, and creatures with echolocation or heightened senses, such as bats and true dragons, have this sense. In Mr.Rhexx's video about black puddings and gelatinous cube's blindsight is explained with an ability to sense heat. Blindsight isn't seeing with vibrations through the ground, that is blindsight. Also, you could fight with tremorsense because "A creature with tremorsense is sensitive to vibrations in the ground and can automatically pinpoint the location of anything that is in contact with the ground and within range.". Toph is a good example, contrary to what you said about Toph having blindsight, what she describes about how she sees is exactly tremorsense. So blindsight to see with the ground would just be redundant.
@@derangedmuppet4373 Bruh... You literally just confirmed exactly what i was saying Exactly how i said it
"Creatures without eyes, such as oozes, and creatures with echolocation or heightened senses, such as bats and true dragons, have this sense."
Reread my comments, and how do you think Echolocation works? And did i say Blindsight can be used by sensing vibration through the ground?
And yes, Toph would have blindsight And tremorsense (like i said three times now) if using DND mechanics. Because Tremorsense wouldnt give here anywhere near the level of detail she's able to derive through tremorsense alone, let alone would she be able to fight effectively because she'd be constantly struggling to defend herself let alone attack. Thats not how tremorsense works. Like if you only have tremorsense, a rogue will still sneak attack you, because they have total concealment against you. Thats not happening to Toph.
Like really... Reread my comments, you're twisting what i've said repeatedly.
@@bloodydove5718 I believe the problem at this point is that we really don't understand what the other is trying to say, I didn't mean to twist your words, I think was due to a lack of understanding of what you were really trying to say. My point was that blindisght wouldn't make sense (though I understand why they gave it blindsight, because it makes fighting easier) because they have no way to use it. Here is why:they don't have ears, so they can't echolocate (echolocation is emitting sound waves and interpreting the echos/sound waves that bounce back), they can't sense heat, and I will admit that they do have a good sense of smell the only problem is that I don't think it is good enough for blindsight (also dragons use a combination of heightened hearing and smell for their blindsight), I think their smell is more like how a dogs mark territory and can tell which territory by smell.
After rereading your comments I do have a better understanding of what you are saying, that tremorsense tells you where they are but nothing else, I just always thought of tremorsense as what Toph does, but I guess Dnd does it differently. So yes, by DND terms Toph has blindsight and Tremorsense, though I think we should remove Avatar from the discussion, because, as I just said, the Avatar world and the DND world use tremorsense differently.
Also, the reason I assumed you were saying that they use blindsight through the ground is that is what Toph would have to do by DND terms. Which is why I know say that we should remove avatar from the discussion because it is just over complicating things.
So, all in all, I just think that it would have no way to use blindsight due to lack of ears, not having good enough smell, and having no extra powers like sensing heat.
So what I'm hearing is that a purple worm would show up when a party is fighting a demon lord in OotA. Sounds like demon lords and party members should have more worms to contend with in that module
So, all I need is salt and prestidigitation to win?
You need a SHIT TON of salt lol
Yeah, like, more than two buckets
I can find a lot of them in origami king trailers. Wanna go harvest some with me?
Could you imagine an encounter where the party finds a cave with a knot of tubes standing hundreds of feet high someone says something possibly remarking on how odd or nice statue. then the tubes untangle the ground shakes violently and the party is met with two heads filled with teeth and two extremely intimidating tails. Roll initiative to see who runs first 😂
I wait at the end of every video just long enough to hear "BioTechnoFrag" because it's aesthetically pleasing to my ears.
That is all. ✨
10:02 oo that is artwork/fan art of Romantically Apocalyptic a great comic
And at 13:26 :D
Every time I listen to one of these videos I find myself trying to make an adventure where the creature is featured or a boss. Great work!
I've always felt that purple worms are the sand worms from Dune.
Final fantasy 7 also
All big burrowing worms in any fiction are directly inspired by the sandworms of Dune, whether people are aware of it or not
is nobody gonna talk about how there is a purple worm that is flying using balloons at 13:26
That got a chuckle out of me.
He's more festive than other purple worms.
Whata hell...
"It's beautiful. I've looked at this for 5 hours now."
It’s photoshop from the comic romantically apocalyptic drawn and written by Vitaly Alexius, I’m seriously confused as to why he wasn’t credited in here but I’m not sure if I should tell him :(
Edit- Please go check out his stuff, all of its like that shot and it’s glorious
I remember this monster very well...GM just saw the image and decided it was cool to make it an encounter for a party of lv5 adventurers. Silly thing is that GM thought they were purely desert monsters..... I was a druid with a magical staff of frost, with: "ice wall, and 2 more ice spells (cant remember which ones)" I cast ice wall to stop him, protect us and gain time/distance, but GM simply assumed the purple worm was smart enough to dig/borrow underground and emerge at the other side of the ice wall in the same turn I cast the spell....(good old time with GM that never read books)
What happens if a purple worm eats a black pudding?
It’s not a pretty picture.

The dino and purple worm look like they're playing, the dino looks particularly happy.
My fave part was the picture accompanying Mr. Rhexx's description of the worm's anatomy. Guard quarters? Spider traps? Dungeons? Dang those things really do have an intricate set of organs there!
This video unfortunately didn't answer the question I have always had about purple worms: why do they have such a strong poison stinger?
They are absolutely massive and live underground so it is unlikely they have any natural predators. Like wise they are so large that they can eat most things in a single bite.
A creature like that having a poison is odd. A creature like that having one of the very strongest poisons in the game is out right baffling. Especially when you compare it to the wyvern another creature with a extremely strong poison. The wyvern is defined by its poison it uses it to fight, mark territory, assert dominance and so on. It just confuses me that the purple worm has a even more powerful poison with not a single mention as to why.
If it's burrowing through solid rock, all sorts of Underdark nasties could follow the tunnel and get at its tail-end quite easily. A powerful stinger might be an adaptation to deal with such threats without having to pull a subterranean U-turn.
*venom
Same thing as spikes on the tarrasque - either there are bigger, badder monsters that prey on them or, you know, rule of cool
The poison might be an unused trait from childhood. As they get older the use of their tails become harder and less prominent.

The only thing I can think of is the Alaskan bull worm from SpongeBob lol

Hi MrRhexx, I certainly hope this could reach you. You pulled me into your channel with the video called what they don't tell you about the elves and I would REALLY love to have this kind of in deep cultural analysis of the other D&D playable races. As a DM these are valluable information to incarnate suche people and creature. I really apreciate your work keep it up.
So Purple Worms are basically giant worms corvered in purple mucus? I'm glad I remember biology classes.
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on hara-kiri rock. I nedd scissors! 61!
I've had an idea for a vilainous desert warlord with a staff to control purple worms. This video will help me to elaborate on how that works
Is that idea inspired by dune?
@@variableaxis9652 No actually, but if theres a similarity then I should check it out, may help with the inspiration
Great Job again, your vídeos are so inspiring to me. 👏👏👏😆

@@BrightJuni uhhhh I mean if you haven’t decided Yet I don’t see the harm in giving him a heads up.
Imagine drow(other races are available) that have captured a purple worm and just consistently cut off it's tail, let it grow back and cut it off again to farm it's poison.
I don't think you'd actually have to cut off it's tail for that. Venom milking in the more traditional way would probably be more efficient, as long as you had it chained up properly and had some slaves shovel dirt into its face for most of the day.
Some of those pictures were Shai-Hulud. I approve.
Well, thanks to a certain image in this video, I now have an idea for a petrified purple worm location used as a temple or magic guild residence in my next campaign. Thank you!
Me before: oh I won't stand 16min of purple worm
Me now: it's already over????? Is there any more???
all this information is gold for a dm. Every bit of info about the worm can be leverage to make an entire hunting quest line.

I've always pictured them as worms from Dune but purple.
never heard the name "purple worm" so often in a single video, you COULD make a drinking game out of it :D
none the less great video as always
I am interested in doppelgangers and changelings.

I came to say this. It brings me joy.
The 5th edition manual forgot to mention....
With a hard outside, the inside should be nice and squishy making that easy to attack when it's mouth is open; just do so at a distance
9:37 Where was THAT picture when I needed a planet-eating purple worm?
I've always liked the idea of the purple worm being a loose grouping of species of large worms. I even in high-school in 2015-16 during our 1e campaign thought of a snow worm for a polar encounter I never did. But it's just a great canvas to paint and mold for your adventure and it doesn't have to be what everyone expects
Imagine how much it would suck if a purple worm burrowed under the ocean from the underdark? Like it would flood the entire under dark with ocean water.
He who controls the spice controls the Universe
the swim speed would be 25, because if you don't have a swim speed, it's considered difficult terrain, so it actually has a faster swim speed than older editions. or it sinks, and starts moving again once on the ground.
I am addicted to these dnd videos man. They are just so fucking awesome. And i have never played dnd. I am just fascinated of its lore. Keep up the amazing work man!
I don't even play D&D, I watch people play it on CZcams but I still love these vids!
A purple worm should be able to trimmer sense vibrations in the water. If it can sense it through stone, it sure should sense it through water. Purple worms always reminded me of the worms in the book and movie _Dune_ . I remember a game some 40 years ago when characters assumed a purple worm was an illusion. After 3 were swallowed, the leader cried out loud, "I BELIEVE!", and the survivors fled.
What do you mean the purple worm's blood is it's only useful crafting item? Their flesh is good eating and they have venom glands, so there is more to them than just the blood and fight.
the flesh of the purple worm is supposed to be extremely venomous too. But he forgot to mention the venom
Venom, blood, chitin, whatevers in the gullet. It's almost like playing monster hunter...luckily we get more than the 2+ carves in that game.
@@Darknight4434 you mean poisonous, correct? Because if so, you can still likely remove the parts that would likely tarnish the rest of the worm's flesh (organs tend to be the main culprit in other animals, namely fish) and cure the meat of any remaining poison (as a poisonous creature would likely have a way to nullify or otherwise immunize against its own toxins), and you would get an exotic tasting flesh from it to use in exotic dishes or just as rations.
Don't forget their stomach acid. That shit can digest rock, so that seems pretty valuable.
@@dermongooseplays5500 ywah, I meant poisonous. If you want to make the flesh treatable, sure, go for it, but the own mucus is supposed to be dangerous to humans to digest, and worms have glands that produce mucus throughout their entire bodies
A really well designed creature and will be fun to work these into a campaign.
Fun science fact rock also contains a large amount of oxygen sequestered into it that if you were to remove all of without turning the rock into a plasma and the process it basically turned to sand or the middle ores contained in the Rock would immediately start to rust and sequester the oxygen
I have an aquatic based campaign I am going to run. I now have a fun monster for them to find when diving into ruins and coral reefs

Finally! The lord Rhexx has blessed me with this video now all I need are maruts and ropers in my life
I think the blindsight, at least in this instance, would refer to being able to "see" using the sounds from things around it in open spaces such as a large cavern where it's exposed and doesn't have solid earth next to it's skin. If it is surrounded by a party of adventures and they use speech to coordinate, in theory, it could detect the origin point of the voices of people talking to determine where to attack, even if it doesn't understand the language.
I'm genuinely happy every time I see you post something new

Well, the worm is strong and if used correctly could drop the tarrasque to 0 hp but since the tarrasque is unkillable it automatically wins
Lt. Gas Mask isnt the tarraques killable in 5e?
I always wondered what their mating call sounded like. One of my old dm's described it as a "Gork!" but I always felt it would be more of a "Duhhhhr!". We may never know. ^^

*Sanity Spice:* the Sanity Spice is a subproduct of a purple worm's dygestive process. It is produced from the Mundane Mushrooms that live inside it's intestines. Mundane Mushrooms, contrary to magic mushrooms, do not intoxicate (poisoned condition/con saves) and instead of hallucinations or delusions, they produce sobriety and can cure madness. The Mundane Mushroom is not that hard to come by but it's raw consumption is un-recomended because it causes _knurdness_ and it's visions of cold hard reality hurts the mind (no-save psychic damage, in mechanical terms).
The only 2 safe ways of consuming mundane mushrooms is through klatchian coffee and through the Sanity Spice.
The Spice is by far the hardest to get but it is the only harmless way and as such it is both very highly priced and sought out by fortune-tellers, psionics in training and the mentally ill in search of it's mind-enhancing properties.

Upon consumption, these mushrooms make you enter a peculiar state of mind. You take 1d6 psychic damage and for the next 6h your mind becomes clearer, more attentive, and somewhat sensitive to bullshit: for the duration, you gain a +3 to investigation checks, a +1 to sleight of hand and become immune to enchantment and illusion spells, taking instead 1d4 psychic damage per level of the spell.
