DESCRIPTIONEdit

The sand shark is a burrowing creature. It is 3 meters long, has a wedge-shaped head, thick, abrasive, leathery hide and twelve pairs of short legs.

A sand shark has no eyes; it detects things by vibration, and smells through two rows of sensory organs and two sensory pits in the head. A sand shark burrows just beneath the surface of the sand, leaving a telltale ripple in its wake. Only explosives will affect it when it is beneath the sand, and they cause only half-damage. It reveals itself when it erupts at the feet of its target to attack. It attacks by biting. Its large mouth is filled with three rows of jagged teeth.

The sand shark can cross rocky areas by slithering across the surface, but its movement rate is reduced to Slow.
