The purple worm is a monster in NetHack. It is a popular pet due to its engulfing attack, which can kill many monsters in one hit ("Burrrrp!").
Purple worms will eat shriekers on sight; the reason given for this is that purple worms enjoy eating shriekers[1].
Encyclopedia entry
A gargantuan version of the harmless rain-worm, the purple worm poses a huge threat to the ordinary adventurer. It is known to swallow whole and digest its victims within only a few minutes. These worms are always on guard, sensitive to the most minute vibrations in the earth, but may also be awakened by a remote shriek.
