Giant Worm

  • Pros: Produces mind-altering spice that will enable travel across the galaxy. You’ll smell time and hear math.
  • Cons: Everyone is going to be all up in your business forever because of that spice. Also you’ll become a worm.

Cons: It’s really just the larval form and eventually you’ll end up with shriekers and ass-blasters.

How many times do I have to say it people, jeez… you’re only in danger of becoming a worm if you have sandtrout. Once past that stage, they cannot stick to your skin.

Nah, it’ll find food no problem. The legal liabilities are the real kicker.

True. A giant worm could be very useful, especially when you have enormous wealth and power to train it.

No training required, Shai Hulud is wise.

Bless the Maker and His water.
Bless the coming and going of Him.
May His passage cleanse the world.
May He keep the world for His people.

The dog’s con is a pro to me. First it’s fun to train your dog. Second you can train them to do cool shit.

The worm’s con could also be a pro. The real con should be: will ruin your back yard.

Dogs also ruin your backyard. That Mfer has dug 30 or 40 holes 1ft deep 3ft across in the last 6 months alone.

That’s because you don’t do enough of the training part.

If you dug enough holes yourself your dog wouldn’t need to

That usually indicates they’re not getting enough exercise or mental stimulation. They dig out of frustration and boredom.

They are over 40 meters long, so it’ll ruin quite a bit more than your backyard.

Or it will ruin your entire backyard plus your neighbors.
