Sandsea Dragon
Monster Information
The Sandsea Dragon is a marine dragon type that dwells in sandy areas. It absorbs Azure Thunder Crystals generated from lightning and converts them into materials for its shell. With its flexible skeletal structure and twisted body, it creates quicksand traps to ambush its prey.
Inside its mouth, there are multiple pointed eyes that serve as sensory organs. Moreover, the mucus secreted by its body contains luminescent bacteria, which are believed to enhance their perception abilities in dark underground settings or during sandstorms.
Location
Found in the Abyssal Sands.
Weaknesses
The weakness of the Sandsea Dragon is its mouth, while its head is a destructible spot that guarantees material drops. Its tail can also be severed.

Attack Response Methods
Ranged Attack
Sand Dragon raises its upper body to charge and briefly lunges forward to spit out a large amount of venom in the direction it is facing. The pre-lunge is quick, requiring a fast reaction. Being hit will inflict a DEBUFF.
Bite
Before using this attack, Sand Dragon opens its mouth to charge, and this pre-lunge is very obvious. You should defend or evade immediately upon seeing the pre-lunge.
Tail Sweep
The tail sweep is a powerful maneuver that can knock hunters off balance. Stay alert and time your dodging well to avoid this attack.
Sand Sea Dragon's Behavior
In most situations where players tend to circle around, the Sand Sea Dragon will temporarily stop its movements, raising its tail slightly to aim at the player. During this time, its head will also glance at the player's side. When this action occurs, a tail swipe will soon follow, so players must always be alert to this move while attacking its tail.
Jumping Pounce
The Sand Sea Dragon curls itself up, and at this moment, it won't inflict damage on players. After a brief wind-up, it burrows underground and waits for a few seconds before re-emerging in a different location. This move is quite generous, giving players enough time to walk away from the area.
Tail Whip Charge
The Sand Sea Dragon arches its body with its tail and head close together in an S-shaped pose. After a brief charge-up, its tail will suddenly rush toward the direction of its line of sight. Players must quickly dodge to the sides upon seeing this wind-up, or they will take significant damage.
Sand Pit
Before using this attack, the Sand Dragon will roar several times, then burrow into the sand, creating a massive sand pit. A few seconds later, the Sand Dragon will leap out from the center of the pit to attack the player. It’s crucial to immediately move away from this area when the pit is being formed, as the margin for error when defending or dodging is very low.
