Sand Grub

Typically observed in arid climes, sand grubs are well-adapted to the harshest of environments. Their thick, rock-hard carapaces provide protection, and specialized tissues between their scales collect and store humidity, limiting water loss.

Though adapted to survive long periods without water, sand grubs will frequently build their nests in close proximity to streams, ponds, and oases where prey is plentiful.

Sandworms are ambush hunters, prepared to wait extended periods of time beneath the sands for a hapless meal to wander by. Their diet is limited only by their size - given a robust supply of prey, sandworms can grow to be truly formidable.
