The premise, in the publisher's words

If you've ever secretly harboured a desire to snap up entire elephants in a single bite, Death Worm, more Shai-Hulud than Nibbles, just might be the game for you. Loosely inspired by cryptozoological accounts of the Mongolian Olgoi-Khorkhoi, this game allows the player to be to the Gobi Desert what Jaws was to Amity Island -- a menacing avatar of hunger incarnate, lurking somewhere unseen beneath the surface... waiting to strike!
