Sandlings come in various sizes, with several species being significantly larger than a human. They appear to be arthropods, with a hard, segmented carapace. However, some sections of a sandling's body are covered in interlocking scales, like a reptile. Unlike arthropods, they have mouths with long teeth, a tongue, and liquid saliva. Though they appear to have eyelids, they cannot see, and must "feel" to find their prey. [[Kerzta|Kerztians]] believe that they even speak to the sand.{{book ref|ws|1|review=yes}} They are usually gray in color.{{book ref|ws|9|review=yes}}
