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.
