Behind the Scenes
Development of Vermithrax took up twenty-five percent of the film's budget and was designed by David Bunnet. The creature was realized through multiple special effects forms with go-motion puppets for stop-motion animation and fullsized props such as the head, tail and claws for interaction with the cast.
