An enormous rift crawler can be found primarily on Plane 4 of the Rift, though they can burrowing to an "adjacent" planes. This is a huge worm whose gaping maw pierces through planar dimensions within the Rift. It would be able to swallow its victims whole by catching them unawares, sometimes emitting a telepathic blast to incapacitate them.

Hunting strategies

The rift crawler can perform its burrow maneuver upon spawning. Unlike a roa'ter, a rift crawler's burrow may target more than one victim at once.

An enormous rift crawler may also swallow an opponent whole, requiring the victim to CUT the creature's stomach with a dagger.

You feel a rumble come from beneath your feet.
The ground begins to shiver slightly, casting thin ripples across the landscape. As the protuberances increase in intensity, an enormous rift crawler launches to the surface from within! The crawler's massive maw lies agape, its glistening obsidian teeth gnashing at everything in their path! A brief flash of teeth and shadow is all you are able to perceive before you are caught in the path of the crawler's deadly jaws!
 ... 80 points of damage!
 Awesome slash severs your left arm!
 A jagged stump is all that remains!
 You are stunned for 10 rounds!
You catch one last glimpse of your surroundings as darkness closes in on you...

[The Belly of the Beast]
The murky interior of the crawler's stomach is comprised of amorphous walls that have a nearly insubstatial texture, yet manage to restrict all but the most minor of movements. A pervasive cold bites at your extremities, while the minimal volume of air twists and shudders, churning violently all around you. You also see the crawler's stomach wall.
Obvious exits: none
!S>
The air shifts and is sucked violently away from around you!
 ... 15 points of damage!
 Chest swells, breaking ribs!
!S>
A sudden burst of cold flares from the walls surrounding you!
 ... 5 points of damage!
 Chilly blast to the head. Where is that cap Mom knitted for you!?
!S>
The air shifts and is sucked violently away from around you!
 ... 5 points of damage!
 Veins in arm stand out briefly!
!>get dagg
You remove a drake dagger from in your golden brown boots.
!>stab wall
You can't do that while being digested!
!>att wall
You strike at the stomach wall with your drake dagger managing to cut a small way into the crawler's stomach wall.
Roundtime: 6 sec.

When the enormous rift crawler goes to travel to a different plane, it does this:

An enormous rift crawler stares upward for a moment, seemingly focusing on a distant point. The area around its head begins to distort as an incredible high-frequency pulse ripples through the air, assailing your senses with a savage aural assault!
You quake uncontrollably, convulsing with terrified shivers!

In a pitch that might shatter glass, a sound emits from the crawler's open maw, and the air distorts and rips like a seam stretched too tight. The creature squirms its way toward the opening and disappears within the whirling anomaly. In one soundless motion, the rip reseals, changing the pressure of the surrounding air.
