The '''sandworm''' is a massive creature living underneath the surface of the [[human]] [[outer colony]] of [[Meridian]].{{Ref/Map|H5G|The Rig}} The sandworm seemingly survived the [[Covenant]]'s [[glassing]] of Meridian in [[2551]]. Despite [[Free Frontier Education]]'s [[The History of Meridian]] claiming the [[Battle of Meridian]] killed all life on the moon, the animal was known to be simulated aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} for [[War Games]].{{Ref/Game|H5G|Mission Intel|Detail=The History of Meridian 6/6}}

==Easter egg walkthrough==
The sandworm is only visible as an Easter egg on the ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' multiplayer map [[The Rig]]. To activate the Easter egg, a player needs to ground pound a platform above the hole in the middle of the map, which will cause two canisters to come out of silos. When the canisters are shot, a sandworm will come screeching out of the sand and swallow a distant rig.

The Sandworm was implemented by The Rig level designer Adrian Bedoya and artist Shon Mitchell. The easter egg was concieved of by Bedoya due to his personal hobby of sculpting creatures in Zbrush, leading to him wanting to put a creature in-game somehow. Bedoya spent a few evenings out-of-work sculpting the Sandworm in his own time, before handing it to Mitchell who handled the animations, VFX, and in-game implementation.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/post-launch-carnage-report|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Post-Launch Carnage Report|D=23|M=12|Y=2019}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.adrianbedoya.com/halo-5-guardians|Site=Adrian Bedoya // Level Designer|Page=Halo 5: Guardians|D=18|M=03|Y=2024}}
