I think that it is interesting to have such a large and rare monster in the desert. I do not know how much of the Voxiworld pages you have read on DCJTech.info, but most of Voxiworld is a combination of previously made mods all combined and edited by me (with some of my own mods).
The sandworm is not my idea or creation, although I did edit and change the code for its behavior and spawning properties. Below is the "Readme" file from the "Not so simple mobs" mod which contains the sandworm.
Not so simple mods by NPX team
Credits goes to:
- PilzAdam, for his wonderful simple-mobs mod;
- Sapier, for his hard word in making modding easier thanks to mobf;
- maikerumine, for his "Dirtmons";
- and obviously Celeron-55 and all the peolpe who contributed to Minetest and its community;

I combined "Not so simple mobs", pmobs, zmobs, ghosts, npcf, and some others into one mod called "creatures". The code was majorly changed in some places and I added some of my own code and mobs (like the teenager NPC, the 1600s-1700s NPC, Herobrine, and more).
FUN TIP: No mobs spawn in the Tron realm, unless a spawner block or certain blocks that mobs spawn on (like dirt) are placed in the realm. The Nether (originally by PilzAdam, but severely re-written by me) is harsh and has many mobs. However, the Nether is rich with minerals.
Soon, I will write documentation for Voxiworld such as a bio on each mob (picture, behavior, item drops, etc.).
FUN TIP: Lava Flans are kind creatures. However, since they are lava, they unintentionally hurt the player when trying to give a hug.
