Is it like an earthworm? Or is "worm" being used synonymously with "dragon" as is often the case in fantasy literature?

I don't think Holt Fasner would respond kindly to being called an earthworm.

I've always pictured it as a huge black (Dune-ish) Sand Worm somewhat similar to the "Doomsday Machine" from the original Star Trek TV series...

Mixed metaphor. In what way are they similar? Long body, gaping maw.

Spoiler

I fear Linden will forget her pre-med biology courses and try to cut the worm in two. Then there will be two giant world destroying earthworms.

Same here, a big crusty worm that sweats stone when it sleeps.
