Atreides, the Distinguished

Atreides, the Distinguished is a Tyrant in Xenoblade Chronicles X. It is located in the South Silent Sandsea in Sylvalum.

This colossal male Sabula comes out during the day to show off its power. At night, it remains dormant unless someone runs over its mouth, where it will its enemies. When it fights faraway enemies, it often likes to use Maximum Charge to deal very heavy damage to anything it flies into. As such, it deals powerful contact damage.

At closer ranges, it will use Massive Swing to smack enemies away, as well as Needle Missile and Ether Bomb as damaging moves.

When its health reaches half, it will make a roar that echoes throughout the Miran depths. This is a call for its mate, Gesserith, the Wileworm, to help it fight its enemies. Gesserith will appear ten seconds after the roar.

Trivia

 * Atreides is likely a reference to the house of Atreides in the novel Dune by Frank Herbert. The book describes gigantic worm-like creatures that burrow through sand, similar to the Sabula.
