Akmuran sand worm

The ancient beast is reclusive and prefers to dwell in deep dark places, where its slow metabolism can digest their query in peace, as such, many unfortunate explorers have encountered their end by such a beast, whether dwelling in ancient caves or forlorn ruins found beneath the sands. Most commonly found in the Northern regions of Kathlam around the scorched land of Morkai’s Path.   Though they are highly sought after for their acid & fire-retardant shells/scales, and their incredibly acidic gunk which there is produced from two separate glands. These glands are highly sought after by both alchemists looking to extract this incredible acid and mages for their latent magical energies. Some believe Akmuran Sand Worms to be an old Chimera species, basing the claim upon the creature's vestigial thumbs on its spiked legs.

Uses, Products & Exploitation

Magical reagent: Can be used to imbue items with acidic properties, but more importantly, it can be used a catalyst for the evocation of acid, and by be used to imbue constructs with similar properties. While its exoskeletal structure is often sought for as natural armor, or even ground within the metal to imbue it with acid and fire resistance.   While its acid is often used in cruel poisons, as it's mixed by two different reagents, which immediately then cause a caustic reaction, leaving it ill-suited for direct combat, it is often used by alchemists for bombs, or poiseners who are patient enough to mix in both reagents over a period of time for horrifying effects.
