Sis, I’m all for a repeat performance of Jerry Lee Lewis’s finest song, but maybe Tula and Mentl are still too unaligned with Teria for that to work. So I guess at least there will be a percussions intro, maybe with vocal accompaniment. (Not necessarily that melodious, but one can’t fault Zona and Zonn if the critter can’t hold a pitch.)
Here’s one of the cleanest, fullest views we have of it: https://barbarianprincess.com/comic/well-ive-been-around-for-way-too-long-its-really-time-to-go/page-208/ . The Sudrac is quite bigger, but it’s up against Zona *and* Zonn. But it seems to have a noticeably stronger hide. Another point to take into account is that, unlike the situation back then, they do have a fully able priestess (Chera, that is) with them. Tula and Mentl may well sit this one out lest they make things worse.
… Which might lead Zonn to dismiss Mentl as all voice and no fist. If he does, Tula will point out that she stayed out of it as well.
I’d say this one is different – no bottom tusk/fangs. But I think ‘Great Balls of Fire’ would still work on it. Who guesses Sand Worms? This is rather close.

Or perhaps since it is more ‘dragonian’ that should be Sand Wyrm ‘snerk’
All right, Chera is surprised but not terrified. This may end well. I mean, Zonn not being terrified would mean he’s just being Erogenian, but she seems to have common sense. Then again, he does look worried.
I think that a sedative is EXACTLY what’s called for here. Force is a bad Idea. They were caught completely flat-footed. Mentl needs to focus and concentrate, and [since no-one else suggested it,] I think the choice is obvious: Pete, Paul, and Mary – Puff the Magic Dragon.
Seasons greetings, lovely people!
I just noticed that TODAY, the current page for Adventures of Zona, and the newest page of the adventures of Girl Genius have reached a scene that is at once EXTREMELY SIMILAR, and at the same time, COMPLETELY OPPOSITE! See today’s comic here: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20171227
(N.B. I have a feeling the giant water dragon is going to be friendly to the heroes, while this Sand Wyrm/Sudrac… not so much!)

Looks like a good time for some music.

Sudrac… Su-and Drac-on… Sand Dragon *tsk* SHIT.
Kuraimizu
Sand Dragon
Sand Wyrm
is this count as a pun ?
MidnightDStroyer
Yeah, that seems to qualify more as a Sand Wyrm than it would be like Dune’s Sandworm.

the jaw looks like the monster they fought under the old Erogenian Temple when they were escaping from the Urtts. This one looks healthy though.
Sogen
And a LOT bigger..

I can see two ways this goes down, either Mentyl makes with the magic, or Zonn and Zona take it on.

oh, hey, family bonding time.

Mentl, quick, play some Blue Oyster Cult
Descartes
Prospective ally against Urrts’ dragons, if sufficiently pacified?

Wow the Sudrac is super detailed.
russell
do you want to talk to it
MidnightDStroyer
More like, “Exit, screaming all the way, stage left.”
Or as it could be otherwise phrased, perform a tried-&-true, patented process from the old-school RPG games…Run Away©.
Prairie Son
Reptile, so cold blooded. Time to sing Foreigner’s Cold as Ice.
Alandryfter
You should know by now. Walk without rhythm, and you won’t attract the worm.

Quick! Sing it a lullaby, dammit!

I, once again, wonder what actor could have played Zonn’s role as a young man, and as he is now.
