If there are no illithid aboard, the boreworm has a darkling pilot who does not fight except in self-defense. If all the disembarked troops are killed, the darkling attempts to disengage and fly back to the nautiloid. DISABLING THE BOREWORM Once the enemy are all destroyed, it is a few minutes work to destroy the helm, rendering the vessel useless, before setting it adrift in space. The adventurers might also choose to simply attack the hull and destroy the vessel. Boreworm Huge vehicle (30 ft. by 10 ft.)

Weapon: Mindblast Cannon Armor Class 16 Hit Points 50 Magical Attack: The canon emits a wave of psychic energy in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in the area must succeed on a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw or take 22 (4d8 + 4) psychic damage and become stunned for 1 minute. A creature can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself with a success.

Weapon: Boring Rams Armor Class 20 Hit Points 100 (damage threshold 10) Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage, and if the target is Huge or larger the boreworm attaches to it. While attached, the boreworm doesn’t attack. Instead, at the start of each of the boreworm’s turns, the target loses 13 (2d8 + 4) damage due to its boring drills. The damage dealt by this attack ignores damage thresholds. If a creature ends its turn with 0 hit points, it dies as the boreworm extracts the creature’s brain. The boreworm can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. A creature, including the target, can use its action to detach the boreworm.
