Sand Groupers

Sand groupers are large sabuletic fish found in sand seas.
==== Behavior ====
Groupers are very protective of their hunting grounds and hunt only in specific areas. Sand groupers are seen to be territorial and are thought to be cannibalistic. Their size compared to the limited food sources available where they hunt suggests an abundance of prey under the sands in territories that they defend.
Groupers have swimming capacities analogous to marine animals, specifically large bony fish. Their ability to breach and dive in and out of the sand suggests that they dive into the sands to feed, and come to the surface to breathe.
As discovered by sand grouper hunters, they seem to hunt using vibrations, and have been observed hunting coyotes and growling seals. This could posit that animals under the sand take care to make as little vibrations as possible so as to avoid detection by predators such as the sand grouper.
==== Diet ====
These creatures due to their sizes require plenty of resources to keep alive and would need to inhabit the most resource rich areas they can find because of it.
The sand grouper does not show sufficient qualities to be considered the predator growling seals and other animals use their finely tuned senses to avoid. The answer why being that the grouper is fundamentally a territorial animal and thus easy to avoid. On the other hand, groupers display no herbivore feeding habits and are quite possibly feeding themselves with creatures found under the sand.
==== Hunting ====
Sand groupers are hunted by moon chasers, botwan knights and zigguran wizards, each for their own reasons, causing a decrease in their numbers.
Their organs are powerful medicines and their digestive fluids are powerful antiadhesives, capable of even separating magical items into their basic componentsThis process was discovered by fellow zigguran wizard Roland Especter Nabukkhanazar.
