'Sandstorm' was an adult male SandWing who was introduced in
Dragonslayer. He was formerly a general under Burn and resided in the
SandWing stronghold until he was poisoned and killed by Wren in order to
rescue Sky.

## Description

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

## Personality

In Dragonslayer, Wren described Sandstorm as obnoxious, annoying, and a
total lunatic when he threatened the Indestructible City. He appeared to
not be liked by other dragons. He had a loud, annoying, bellowing laugh,
and was shown ordering Smolder around, which seemed to make the latter
upset. He was loyal to Burn and was willing to capture Sky to give 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 Sky.

## Biography

### The Dragonet Prophecy

left The Dark Secret
In the prologue, Reed spotted a group of Burn's SandWings fighting
IceWings. He referred to one of them as the "SandWing general", who was
most likely Sandstorm.

left 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 the humans shot at
him and laughing. He had attacked the Indestructible City four times
before. Later on, he was 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
died from it while fighting an Outclaw, who swaggered away from
Sandstorm's defeat, looking confused but very pleased with himself.

For now, more or less, […] You weren't with any army, though;
I'd wager you've never fought a day in your life. So I'm guessing your

HEY THERE, PRISONER, […] GOOD NEWS! Burn should be back
today sometime! HAHA! Isn't that great? I can't WAIT until she sees
you. And then it's off to the weirdling tower with you, and I can
finally have my room to myself again!

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.

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
humans to ashes. It'll be GREAT!
