This Pokémon's body leaks a grainy, silt-like sludge wherever it walks. It blends in with worn scarecrows or forgotten beach trash, remaining motionless until nightfall, when it quietly pursues wanderers.
After spending thousands of years in harsh deserts, its blood transformed into the same substances as sand. It likes the shovel on its head, so Sandyturne will get serious and fight any children who come to take it back.
