Topic: Sandtrout


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Sandworm (Dune) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandtrout are drawn to water in the open desert and together multiple sandtrout will gather to encapsulate water, creating deserts safe for the adult worms.
So saturated with spice, he was able to coax sandtrout onto his body, where they, convinced it was water, encapsulated him and buried their cilia thus fusing them into one being.

 The Ecology of Dune: Biology of Sandworms
The role of the sandtrout is to wall up large bodies of water by linking together to form large cysts, and prevent the sandworms from being poisoned by water.
Sandtrout, on the other hand, have affinity to water, swarming to it and walling it up with their merged bodies.
Water does not harm sandtrout, perhaps because of their smaller size allowing excess heat to be radiated, and also they have no store of reactive metals.

 Arrakis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giant sandworms (Shai-Hulud, later Shaitan) and their immature forms of sandtrout and sandplankton were among the few fauna on the planet when it was discovered.
As indicated by large salt flats, Arrakis once had oceans; the depletion of the oceans, the primary result of which was desertification, was probably caused by the impact or near miss of a comet or other quasi-planetary body.
Ultimately, all life on Arrakis was destroyed by the Honored Matres in an attempt to kill a ghola of Duncan Idaho.

However, according to Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's prequels to Dune sandworms can also be destroyed by massive explosions, especially of nuclear weapons (though this might seem contradictory with their heat- and lasgun-resistance).
Both the death of a worm by explosives and the creation of sandtrout in this manner seem contradictory with the original Dune series and is among reasons why many fans question whether the prequels are canon.
