The sound comes from the Calamity Mod for Terraria, a large fan made expansion known for its Abyss biome and its chain of wyrm bosses. Juvenile Eidolon Wyrms appear there and can be summoned by the Adult Eidolon Wyrm, later renamed the Primordial Wyrm, and their scream plays on summon or when struck. Clips of Calamity boss fights spread the roar across YouTube and soundboards, where Terraria players began reusing it outside the game as a shorthand for a huge deep sea creature announcing itself before a fight.
