A Sand Dragon,[1] also called a Dune Dragon,[2a] is a monstrous reptilian relative of true Dragons that is native to the Great Desert of Araby.[1]
Their long, serpentine bodies have the colour of the desert sands, allowing them to hide from their prey. They have the ability to breathe burning hot sand.[1] Their scales are treasured by the Arabyans as ingredients for potent aphrodisiacs,[1] while their blood has magical properties.[2a]
One of these creatures was held in captivity by an Arabyan emir as a show of the power of its master.[1]
