Sandstorm

Sandstorm was an adult male SandWing who was introduced in Dragonslayer. He was a general under Burn who resided in the SandWing stronghold, and was killed by Wren after she snuck rat poison into his drink.

Appearance

Sandstorm was a huge SandWing. He wore armor and a key around his neck.

Personality

In Dragonslayer, Wren described Sandstorm as annoying and a total lunatic when he threatened the Indestructible City. He appeared to not be liked by other SandWings. He also had a loud, bellowing laugh. He was shown ordering Smolder around, which seemed to make Smolder upset. He was loyal to Burn and was willing to capture Sky to sell him to her. Sandstorm also seemed to be very full of himself, shown when he was boasting about how important he is and how 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 cinnamon 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).
