Sandstorm
Template:SpoilerDragonslayer Template:Charbox General Sandstorm is a SandWing general under Burn´s army. He was poisoned by Wren ( with the assistance of Rose ) using rat poison found in the kitchen of Burn´s Stronghold. The poison took effect during a battle against the Outclaws, led by Thorn in an attempt to rescue Sunny. He clutched his stomach and collapsed onto the sand amidst the battle. General Sandstorm 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.
