  • Graboids, also known as dirt dragons or Tu Lung are subterranean invertebrates originating from the Devonian period.
  • Graboids are enemies encountered in Kingdom Hearts II ½. They only appear in Perfection.
  • Graboids are subterranean predators which ostensibly awakened in the late 20th century after a centuries-long slumber, are a lifeform unlike any other previously catalogued in Earth's genetic or fossil record.
  • Graboids are a species of creatures from the Tremors series. The term can either apply to the large worm-like stage of the creature's lifestyle (the subject of this article), or can be an umbrella term for all phases of its life- dirt dragon or shooter, Graboid, Shrieker or Ass-Blaster. One of the characters says of them that "graboids are to the desert what sharks are to the ocean."
  • Graboid are depicted as subterranean animals, superficially resembling gigantic worms or grubs, with long, serpentine bodies.
  • The graboid is a fictional creature that acts as the primary antagonist of the Tremors film series. As Suzanne Ferriss and Mallory Young explain, the "destruction of 'graboids', as they are quickly dubbed, becomes the central tension of the film." The creature made its debut in the 1990 film Tremors, and reappeared in its three sequels and the Tremors: The Series television series. The graboid is based on the Mongolian Death Worm, which is also said to be a giant worm-like creature that attacks animals, and possibly humans. Within the film world, it is store owner Walter Chang who names them. The only other person in the first film to use the phrase "graboid" is Val McKee (Kevin Bacon).
