Quicksanders

Quicksanders are best described as sand slimes that blend into the desert and suck in any animals or travelers passing by, receiving their name due to their behavior and resemblance to normal quicksand. In the event that they are threatened, they will reveal their true slime forms and begin transforming into various animals and objects in order to defend themselves; of particular note being the form of a sand scorpion, a form they only take if they deem the scenario to be one of life-or-death. Two methods of dispatching these creatures are: destroying their core, a pink stone inside of their body analogous to a heart or a brain in other creatures; or by planting and detonating an explosive inside of them, which would disperse their bodies enough to keep them from reconstituting. These are highly sought after for their Sand Pearls, which are a byproduct created from any material they cannot digest, accumulating and clumping up into a polished stone as big as a basketball. Their intestines and organs are also valuable as a local remedy for most ailments such as food poisoning, mild toxins and poisons. Sometimes, they show up in the middle of towns, which has gotten them targeted for extermination multiple times.
