Worf Had the Flu: Pretty much why it's fought so early: Its home has been dried up, and it's been weakened by living in an environment with little water.

The earliest you can get an accessory that lets you dash is after beating the Eye of Cthulhu, the very next boss, and in the early-game very few items that enhance your vertical mobility are readily available.

Wake-Up Call Boss: As a worm enemy, it's very hard to dodge its attacks unless you have some sort of vertical mobility or dash, especially since it also gains the ability to dash itself partway through the fight.

Segmented Serpent: Likely the first Worm boss a player will fight.

Sand Worm: That used to be a water worm, no less.

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Ironically, it's the easiest Calamity Boss.

More Teeth than the Osmond Family: Its head is practically all teeth.

Leitmotif: Guardian of the Former Seas.

How the Mighty Have Fallen: This thing went from being a force capable of wiping out an entire kingdom to a dried-up, early-game boss.

Foreshadowing: Its lore makes mention that it was weakened due to a lack of food and water, exactly what the Aquatic Scourge actually does have.

Flunky Boss: Summons Dried Seekers as you damage it.

Eyeless Face: Appears to just have empty sockets instead of actual eyes.

Dishing Out Dirt: In Revengeance Mode, it gains the ability to rapidly fire sand blasts at players.

In addition, it massively resists explosive weapons, which are normally the kryptonite of early worm bosses.

Contractual Boss Immunity: Unlike the vanilla worm bosses, the Desert Scourge reduces the damage of piercing weapons with every segment they pierce, which massively reduces the damage they would normally cause to it - a trait shared by a number of the Calamity worms and the Revengeance/Death Mode versions of the vanilla worms, but more noticeable considering its earlygame status.

Art Evolution: It went from a blue worm into a drier-looking brown worm, which looks more terrifying than its old sprite.

Killing it enables sandstorms and also allows the blocks in the Sunken Sea to be mined, allowing true access into the biome. The Desert Scourge drops various water-themed weaponry/equipment, and gives all the ingredients required to make Victide Bars, an early crafting material required to make beginner-level equipment.

It's the first Calamity-exclusive boss available when you start the game, and has to be fought in the Desert. Once a mighty ocean worm that destroyed the Ocean Kingdom, its home has been dried up by Calamitas and it has been forced to become a desert worm.
