The desert wyrm is a level 18 Summoning familiar. It is summoned using a Desert wyrm pouch, which gives you 0.4 Summoning experience. The desert wyrm can be used for the following things:

Combat: It has a combat level of 22 and can hit up to 244 damage. Additionally, its Electric Lash scroll can briefly stun an opponent.
Mining: It provides an invisible mining boost of +1. This ability makes the Desert wyrm fairly popular among low level miners. However, this bonus does not help mining rocks above your real level.
Burrow: It will burrow near a mining rock and find Iron. This is a special right-click ability and thus drains Summoning points each time it is used. This can prove useful for higher level miners when mining iron at a spot where only two rocks surround them, as they can mine the two rocks very quickly, then right click the wyrm and select burrow before the next rock respawns. It should be noted that there must also be a nearby iron rock which the player doesn't mine. Otherwise burrow will not work, or the wyrm may bring up tin or copper from other rocks.

A player can gather from 700 to 800 iron ores using one desert wyrm pouch.

-==Burrow==
-'''Burrow''' is a skill used by the [[Desert wyrm]]. When near a rock that contains any ore up to and including [[Iron]], the familiar dives into the ground, and comes up a few seconds later. An ore of the same type appears where it comes up. Once the hole the desert wyrm comes out off is visible, it is possible to click on it and select burrow again, enabling a player to quickly gather ores. If a player clicks on the summoning icon by the minimap while the desert wyrm is underground, it will display the left-click settings, as if there were no familiar. It creates either [[tin|tin ore]], [[copper|copper ore]], or [[iron ore]].
