Spoiler alert for those who haven't played ds1 through

Solair searches for the Lord of Sunlight Qwyn and yet for some retarded reason tries to find him in the demon ruins; underground away from the sunlight alter (Gwyn's prison/residence). The Demon ruins could be considered the same place as where the Sandworm currently resides. In dark souls 1 unless you save Solair by killing the sunlight maggot using the Izalith shortcut Solair becomes the victim of the parasite.

This is speculation of course and all lore is, but perhaps the sandworm is Solair due to the sunlight maggot evolving. This would explain both the appearance and lightning attacks.

Some people say it's just a joke but it does hold some truth behind it
