“A master of camouflage, this Tidal Class dragon buries itself beneath the sand and pounces on enemy prey. Sand Wraiths are also known for their ability to unleash a volley of compressed balls of flaming sand, making further use of their environment to survive.”
The Sand Wraith is a medium-sized Tidal Class dragon that first appeared in Dragons: Rise of Berk.
The Sand Wraith's skin looks like the sand, as it is a bright sandy brown. It has spikes on its head which resembles the Night Fury's nubs and ears on its head. The Sand Wraith also has secondary wings. It also has a unique tail design which consists of 2 arrow-like shapes pointing inwards. Similar in body and wing shape to the Night Fury, this dragon has more spines, along with its head and wings. The spines are thinner and longer, and all considerably sharper. It also has two large 'thumb' claw on its wings. Its head is flatter and ends more pointed likely to aid in burying itself. Instead of having sails at the end of their tails, there are thicker spikes. Overall the dragon is covered in brown tones, its spines fading to a far darker almost blake shade, while its wings sport lighter spotting. In Dragons: Rise of Berk, this dragon has a very straight spine, but in School of Dragons, the spine has a mammalian curvature like a Night Fury's spine.
