This massive worm is probably over twenty to thirty feet long, making it an easy target to hit, but having uncomparable force and strength. Dark red in color, it seems to have no eyes, but its keen sense of smell quickly finds targets.[1]

Other information
Roa'ters are infamous for their burrow attack. This attack causes the roa'ter to plunge into the ground and follow you around, until it eventually bursts forth directly under your feet. This usually causes a severe wound, and many times death if it hits a vital area. Yet, because they are famous for the treasure in their boxes, many people find it worth the risk to hunt them.
The factors contributing to the burrow attack are Level, profession bonuses, Mobility and Prayer spells, encumbrance penalty, DEX/AGI/WIS bonuses, armor maneuver penalties and a prone/sitting penalty. Unlike many other maneuver attacks, Dodge, Combat Maneuvers, and the defender's Stance do not come into play.
An example of a roa'ter's burrow attack:
You feel a rumble come from beneath your feet.
Dirt and rock explode from the ground beneath you as a roa'ter erupts from underground and crashes onto the surface!
Rocks and dirt pelt you as you are thrown into the air!
You make a stunning maneuver in the air avoiding the majority of the debris and landing on your feet!
