Tunneler. The worm can burrow through solid rock at half its burrow speed and leaves a 30-foot-diameter tunnel in its wake.
Legendary Resistance (3/day). If the acrigot fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Multiattack. The worm makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its tail, or can use Dive Into The Earth.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d8 + 9) piercing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw or be swallowed by the worm. A swallowed creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the worm, and it takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the worm's turns.
If the worm takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the worm must succeed on a DC 21 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the worm. If the worm dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 20 feet of movement, exiting prone.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 19 (3d6 + 9) bludgeoning damage.

Description
The hombuari nomads were looking to the great waterhole in the middle of that dry and arid place. Once a verdant and vivid savannah, now just dust and carcasses is seen in all directions. The waterhole was the only clue of what happened to that paradisiac place: Acrigots, immense worms that devour everything in its path and leaving nothing than just deep scars in the earth.
A distant tremor was felt when they were filling their canteen with water. Nothing to worry about for sure, they thought. There was nothing in that place worthy enough to make an acrigot awakes. But subtly the water trembled, and their goats started to bleat nervously. It needed only a fast stare, a stare filled with fear, to realize that it was their last travel across Arfíria, the plane of the great worms, Acrigots.
