Overview

The Emperor Sandworm is a semi-boss unit added in the 2.9 Patch. It is the biggest, meanest, toothiest, and apparently smartest Sandworm the player will ever encounter. Floyd calls it the Emperor Sandworm, because of its ability to control other Sandworms and coordinate them intelligently against the Outpost's infrastructure. A local hunter named Bogan dubs it the "Ridgy-Didge".

The Emperor Sandworm is first encountered during the mission "The Ridgy-Didge". Defeating it yields a large amount of  Teeth and unlocks the Big Game Hunter. It has a combined total of  1800 and 4 separate attacks, and is accompanied by a large group of Groundshakers, Sandworm Grublings and an Elder Sandworms.

After it is defeated for the first time, two Emperor Sandworms spawn in Level 57 Sandworm encounters along with Elder Sandworms at Bogan's House. Only the first encounter with the Ridgy-Didge will yield a large Teeth reward.

The Emperor Sandworm has very unique attacks compared to other Sandworms. It has two attacks which call on other smaller Sandworms to attack for it, a Sonic Boom attack similar to that of the Boom Bus and an Acid Spit attack like that of lesser Sandworms. Despite being a semi-boss, it is a fairly simple encounter if players bring durable units.
