Trivia[edit]

This dungeon contains curious references to the movie "Tremors" (Underwood, 1990). The boss Tremorscale, whose name already suggests this, is a big Duneripper, whose shape is very similar to the creatures from the movie. Also, Tremorscale's Rupture skill, through which he burrows, moves under the terrain, and launches himself out of it, is the typical "attack" of the original creatures.
