Sand Wraith

"Sand Wraiths are known to bury themselves in the sand in order to surprise their prey."

- School of Dragons The Sand Wraith is a Tidal Class dragon introduced in Dragons: Rise of Berk, and also appears in School of Dragons. There is a type of Sand Wraith called the Desert Wraith.

Sand Wraith
A Tidal Class expert in camouflage that buries itself in the sand. It's a good way to surprise their prey...and avoid sunburn!

Fighting a Sand Wraith is no day at the beach...not when it can throw a hardened ball of sand from a distance.

Desert Wraith
A near cousin to the Sand Wraith that likely migrated to the desert centuries ago in search for food and courtship.

Appearance
The Sand Wraith's skin looks like the sand, as it is bright sand brown. It has spikes on it's head which resembles the Night Fury's nubs and ears on it's head. The Sand Wraith also has secondary wings, similar to a Night Fury or a Stormcutter. It also has a unique tail design which consists of 2 arrow-like shapes pointing inwards.

The Desert Wraith looks exactly like the Sand Wraith. However, its scales are pink with black stripes.

Trivia

 * Sand Wraiths are the second dragon introduced in Rise of Berk, the first being the Tide Glider.
 * The Sand Wraith might be what Fishlegs was referring to when he described a dragon that "buries itself like a week".
 * Its design and behavior seem partially based on those of the angel shark, the sidewinder rattlesnake, and the horned lizard.
 * They bear a strong resemblance to the Night Fury.
 * Unlike most dragons, Sand Wraiths have overbites, as seen in School of Dragons.
 * The Desert Wraith is either a subspecies to the Sand Wraith, or the exact same species, just living in different habitats.
 * Sand Wraiths and their subspecies are the only Tidal Class dragons in Rise of Berk that are on stone slabs instead of pools.
