We consider an Arrakeen Sandworm for our pet. Because the spice must flow! 

All the relevant lore is reviewed, such as: Do you walk your worm, or does your worm walk you? How much dried shrimp do you need to feed something up to a kilometer long? What are worm kegels? Can you wrestle your worm for funsies? Can you objectify your sandworm?

We learn it is best to follow your golden path and embrace your inner worm and not your fear (because we hear on good authority it is the mind killer - your fear, not the worm. The worm just smooshes you.)

Apologies to Frank & Brian Herbert!
