Multiattack. The worm makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its sting.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d8+9) piercing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it must succeed a DC 19 Dexterity save or be swallowed.
Sting. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (3d6+9) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 19 Constitution save or take 42 (12d6) poison damage, or half as much on a success.
How hard a fight? Against a party of four, a single purple worm is deadly at levels 1–10, hard at levels 11–12, medium at levels 13–16 and easy at levels 17–20. Add allies or more foes in the encounter generator.
Where you'll find it: the Underdark, deserts and hills.
