Sand Seal

Sand Seals, also known as Sand-Seals are naturally yellowish tan in color and have long tusks similar to a walrus. Sand Seals are native to the Gerudo Desert Gateway, but can be found throughout the Gerudo Desert. Sand Seals swim through the sands of the Gerudo Desert as if it were water. Adventurers can Sand Seal surf by catching a wild Sand Seal, but they must have a Shield and must approach it very slowly due to its sensitivity to sound. Sand Seal surfing is the quickest way to travel through the Gerudo Desert.
The Gerudo train Sand Seals and rely on them for travel across the Gerudo Desert. Trained Sand Seals are red in color, faster and will wait for their rider to return instead of running off the moment they are dismounted. Adventurers can rent a Sand Seal at the Sand-Seal Rental Shop in Gerudo Town for 20 Rupees or 50 Rupees if they do not have a Shield.
The Gerudo participate in Sand-Seal Racing, a traditional Gerudo competition that involves Sand Seal surfing races. Adventurers can participate in Sand-Seal Racing at the Sand-Seal Rally.
