The Dune Splicer is a worm-type Hardmodeenemy that spawns in the Underground Desert, or on the surface of the Desert during a Sandstorm. It is the Hardmode counterpart of the Tomb Crawler. Dune splicers are very dangerous to new players unless you have proper equiqment.
This enemy is noticeably larger than other worms, ranging from 12 to 21 segments long.
The Dune Splicer is very agile, and can turn very quickly. This can be especially dangerous due to the Dune Splicer's large hitbox.
In a sandstorm, this worm becomes the second fastest worm in the game, only beaten by the Phantasm Dragon.
Tips
Aiming for the head may help in defeating Dune Splicers quicker, as it has less defense than the body or tail.
Trivia
Dune Splicers may be inspired by the sandworms in the Dune franchise. This further reinforced by the Bestiary entry, as sandworms in Dune eat spice.
The Bestiary entry for the Dune Splicer: "The world's largest, most deadly worm. Strengthened by ancient magicks, it can devour a spicy Terrarian quicker than they realize."
