Sandstorm

Template:SpoilerDragonslayer Template:Charbox Sandstorm was an adult male SandWing general under Burn's army. He died of mouse poison, administered by Wren, a scavenger.

Appearance

According to the cover of Dragonslayer, General Sandstorm had a face covered in scars, and dark, but not black, diamond patterns similar to the ones Prince Smolder and Princess Blister have. He had pale, sandy yellow wing membranes, a golden frill, yellow scales, dark grayish-blue eyes, and white teeth, talons, and horns. He also appeared 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.

In Dragonslayer, he is described as enormous and gleaming, and his venomous tail was described as "a promise of death to come."

Personality

In Dragonslayer, Wren describes Sandstorm as being annoying and a total lunatic when threatening the Indestructible City. He appears to not be liked by other SandWings. He also has a loud, bellowing laugh. He is shown ordering Prince Smolder around, which seems to make him upset. He is loyal to Burn and was willing to capture Sky to sell him to her. Sandstorm also seems to be very full of himself, shown when he was boasting about how important he is and how Princess Burn will promote him when he gives her the gift of Sky.

Biography

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Brightest Night

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.

Legends

Dragonslayer

General Sandstorm was threatening the Indestructible City, dodging whatever people shot at him and laughing. He had attacked the Indestructible City five times before. Later on, he is shown to have locked Sky into his room with the intention of giving him to Queen Burn as a gift. Wren poisoned Sandstorm’s milk with rat poison to free Sky, and Sandstorm dies from it while fighting an Outclaw, who swaggers away from Sandstorm's defeat, very pleased with himself (most likely Qibli).

"Ridiculous, [...] You're nothing like us. You're less than a dragon! You're a fascinating beetle. Burn will love prodding you to figure out what's wrong with you, and then she'll probably kill you, stuff you, and put you on display."

"What a day, lizard. You have no idea how important I am to Queen Burn. Wait until I find her treasure in that spiky human city! She'll probably give me a palace of my own. HAHA! I'll burn all those scavengers to ashes. It'll be GREAT!"
