Basic Information
Ecology and Habitats
Sand dragons live exclusively in the desert, most notably Saehirus.
Behaviour
Sand dragons are a very shy, quiet race of dragon. They live mostly isolated in the desert or in small sand dragon communities. Even though they might not always show it, sand dragons like company and will offer travelers temporary shelter from the desert and sandstorms that might occur. Sand dragons get along well with poison dragons and rock dragons.
