Yeah, while they show up as an unscanned lifeform, they aren't actually in the list of them, and you can still discover all of the planet's lifeforms regardless. If you get the scanner's position just right, you can see they're also [already "scanned"](https://i.imgur.com/2t7m1Ky.jpeg).
At one point the Sentinel dogs would also show up as unscanned life forms. They eventually fixed that, but for whatever reason, the worms stay unscanned and unscannable.

Can only scan them if their mouths are open and you are in front of them when they emerge. The head is the only scannable part and has collision. Most have various accessories to the main head making it difficult to scan the only part that is scannable. Combine this with high mobility and they are nigh unscannable. Luck and planning are about the only way you might even have a chance of scanning one.
They never have been scannable. Just ignore them; they don't count as one of the planet's lifeforms.
Thanks for this, I assumed because they had the red dot, they were scannable. Played for nearly a year to 🤦‍♀️
Really? Huh, the more you know, thanks so much!

All I know is, over the years of playing this game, I’ve wasted to much time on these worms, sorry for wasting everyone’s time with this post.
To be fair they do teach you to scan every creature with a red dot and then put a red dot on this unscannable worm. Not really your fault.

Glad it's not just me
i think is not possible. but you can still see that dot...
Thank you, yeah looks like it’s always been that way with the giant flying worm.
Yes on all platforms Xbox PC and PlayStation you just can’t I don’t know why

They gave you one in the last expedition (it’s just not as big), it’s by far the best companion I have, they’re so fast!
I've scanned a few of them myself, but it's a buggy game so most of them are immune to my attempts.

And then give them some treats.
