Sandstorm
Template:SpoilerDragonslayer Template:Charbox General Sandstorm was a male SandWing general in Burn's army who died in the battle against Thorn and the Outclaws (who were trying to get Sunny back) at Burn's stronghold during The Brightest Night. While Smolder was showing Sunny the empty treasury, Camel came running in exclaiming that they were under attack and that General Sandstorm was already dead. He appears on the cover of Dragonslayer.
Appearance
According to the cover of Dragonslayer, General Sandstorm has a face covered in scars, and dark, but not black, diamond patterns similar to the ones Smolder and Princess Blister have. He has pale, sandy yellow wing membranes, a golden frill, yellow scales, dark grayish-blue eyes, and white teeth, talons, and horns. He also appears to have a slight underbite. Sandstorm has a red-colored tongue on the cover, but this is most likely Joy Ang’s mistake. He is shown to look less like a normal SandWing and more like Sunny with his golden scales.
Personality
In Dragonslayer, Wren describes Sandstorm as being annoying and a total lunatic when threatening the Indestructible City.
Biography
Sandstorm was placed in charge of the defense of Burn's Stronghold while Burn was off searching for the dragonets of destiny. Sandstorm was killed in a battle against Thorn and the Outclaws in their attempt to rescue Sunny from Princess Burn. Camel told Smolder about Sandstorm's death while Smolder was showing Sunny the old treasure chambers.
General Sandstorm was threatening the Indestructible City, dodging whatever people shot at him and laughing. Later on, Wren poisons Sandstorm’s milk with rat poison and he dies while fighting the Outclaws.
Trivia

- Despite most SandWings having black tongues, General Sandstorm is shown having a red tongue on the cover of Dragonslayer. This is most likely a mistake on Joy Ang's part.
- General Sandstorm died from rat poison pellets while fighting the Outclaws
