I have no idea what a 'Graboid' is, or what movie this is from.

Graboids are the creatures from the Tremors movies. BTW, I think Burt was awesome with his mega-arsenal. :D

Broke into the wrong God damn rec room, didn't ya you bastard!

As for how I would do it, I'd start by looking up the info on toxic/mutated critters in Running Wild, I think.

There was also a TV series, according to IMDB.

The movies are fun, especially if you like 80s monster movies. Good popcorn movies.

Graboids and Burt were from the Tremors movies. The first Movie is just about the best horror comedy movie. The clip was from 2, still a good movie. 3 was so so. We don't talk about 4 or the SiFi TV show.

The TV series wasn't bad. I actually rewatched it a few months ago, and I was moderately entertained.

The first two films are loads of fun. I haven't seen the third and fourth film, but I heard they were pretty bad.

On of the only constants of the franchise is Burt Gummer: a paranoid, overprepared, survivalist gun nut with tons of firearms and explosives for every occassion. He'd make a great shadowrun character.

I would take the Mongolian Death Worm from Parazoology, and then make a Toxic variant of it that's incredibly large.
