The Monster is coming for you, but you can't see it. What you do see is the floorboards splitting as it pushes through the ground underneath them towards the camera, or just dust being kicked up if it's outside. It's not always played for scares though; sometimes it's just a convenient visual shorthand for indicating where something moving underground — such as Mole Men, or a Drill Tank — happens to be. It can be used as a legitimate tension-building device to hint a monster the audience hasn't seen yet (or hasn't seen much of) or as a way for lower-budget films to get the monster in without actually spending money on the generally more expensive effects shot. Sometimes the effect will be the ground bulging up as if something has been forced through it, while other times it will be subsidence, as if the monster has actually consumed the earth, undermining the ground above it. note If any level of physics at all is implied, the first suggests that the stable ground was dense enough to need to be pushed out of the way, while the second suggests that it was compressed or liquefied into a material phase that couldn't support its own weight after the burrower passed. See also Sand Worm, Nothing Is Scarier, Traveling-Pipe Bulge. Compare Bad Vibrations. The Croc Is Ticking is the audible equivalent. Nothing whatsoever to do with Movie Sign (although that is named after Dune's worm sign), Wormtongue or Wormtail. Examples |

Batman: Arkham Asylum: Batman is forced to walk along a floating wooden boardwalk in Killer Croc's lair while Croc moves around somewhere beneath the water. Occasionally some of the rafts that serve as the walkway will be kicked up or outright destroyed behind Batman, forcing the player to outrun Croc as he chases them down from beneath the surface. | |

Monster Hunter: Among others, Blos-type monsters do this. Usually, by the time you see the dust clouds being kicked up, it's a bit too late to react - the real purpose of the dust clouds is to let you figure out exactly what the monster's attack pattern is, so you can avoid it from then on. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Sometimes when a bulette is burrowing just below the surface, its crest will be raised and be visible to anyone nearby, cutting through the dirt like the fin of a shark through water. Thus its nickname of "Land Shark." The Dark Sun setting has sink worms, so named because they leave a sunken depression behind them as they move through the silt or sand. Since sink worms are oddly quiet, this is often the only warning its victims have before it bursts from the sand beneath them. |

The Legend of Zelda: Various enemies in the series do this. Moldorms in Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker leave ridges of sand above where they burrow so you can hook/clawshot them. Leevers in Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and the NES titles have a visible trail on the surface of the ground before springing up. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages: While burrowing, the miniboss Subterror creates a small raised bump that marks its position. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: Zaganaga creates a sand whirlpool before popping up. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: The Molduga minibosses create a large raised mound above themselves as they swim through the desert sands. |

In Nightworld some friends of Repairman Jack have evacuated to a nuclear bunker out in the boondocks to escape the Eldritch Abominations erupting out of a portal in New York's Central Park. Then another portal opens nearby, but everyone thinks they'll still be safe in the bunker...until they see what appear to be giant mole tracks running out from the portal, then curving around to make a beeline for their bunker. Sure enough they end up having to defend against worm-like creatures who start gnawing away at the bunker from all sides until they break through. | |

This includes disturbing pavement stones. Surprisingly, while Bugs continues forward toward the house, a persnickety Daffy creates a branch wormsign that ends up in the Angry Guard Dog's doghouse. So, cartoon ducks are Tunnel Kings on par with rabbits. | |

Dune: The computer games, including Dune II. The first Dune game ups the ante by including static discharge from the sand, meaning the worms are followed by bolts of lightning — the worms build up large amounts of static electricity when moving through the sand, and when they start to surface, the electricity discharges into the sky. The interface voice in Dune: 2000 will also call out "Wormsign" and highlight it on the minimap if you have a radar. | |

Pokémon X and Y: The wild Pokémon of the Lumiose Badlands leave a trail of dust to mark their location in lieu of Random Encounters. The move Dig shows a trail of raised dirt approaching the target during the attacking turn. |

Terraria: Giant worms and other burrowing enemies leave a trail of little bits of dirt flying around as they're digging. They also have a very characteristic sound which can be somewhat unnerving if you can't easily defeat them yet. It does give a good indication of what side they'll be coming from next, though. | |

Spongebob Squarepants takes this trope literally in the episode "Sandy, Spongebob, and the Worm"—Sandy is tracking a giant Alaskan Bull Worm and finds a small wooden sign with "worm" written on it. | |
