Though rather massive, the Sand Oasis Crab fails to compare to the likes of the Earth Tortoise (however, such a creature dwarfs nearly all Elementals). On its back lays an oasis providing lush palm trees and glistening spring water to those able to access it. Typically laying dormant beneath the warm desert sands, the crab only rises when disturbed. During fits of stress, these abominable beings are known to kick up sandstorms brutal enough to prevent one from seeing their own hand.
in all honesty though, wouldn’t a sand elemental be more likely to be a vulture or snake or something?
sure crabs go on sand but they’re almost entirely aquatic, frankly crab would fit water more or something
Vultures live in a variety of habitats and are still more associated with the air or death/carcasses than sand.
Snakes also live in numerous habitats and aren’t primarily associated with sand very much.
Yes, crabs live in many awuatic settings but you’re still sitting on sand on the sea floor, as well as multiple species living their lives completely buried amongst / dependent on the presence of sand.
aquatic =/= sand, the vast majority of the ocean floor isn’t really sandy
by the same standard that you can say “as well as multiple species living their lives completely buried amongst / dependent on the presence of sand.”, you can say the same for snakes on sand
although yes crabs are commonly associated with sand, thats just a preconceived notion!!!
