APPEARANCE: The Sand-drifters have beige, gold or brown scales like the desert sand. They have large spines down their back, that are usually a shade darker than their scales. They have a large, tall build with strong legs and wide talons that help them run across the desert. Their wings are strong and large so that it is easy for them to fly long distances to find water. They have a lot of large spines at the end of their tails, making a group like on a club. ABILITIES: The Sand-drifters have the ability to store water in the scales on their necks, tails and forearms. All they have to do is submerge their front or back talons in water and the scales will absorb the liquid. They can withstand high temperatures and camouflage in the desert sand. The roar of these dragons is very loud, so that they can communicate across long distances. They are also very sensitive to vibrations, and can feel talon steps through the sand from kilometers away. codeword is rain KINGDOM AND TERRITORY The Sand-drifters live in the territory just south of the Flame-breaker kingdom past the cliffs.
