Sandman is a wormlike, bright yellow creature made of sand who appears as an enemy inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Initially appearing as a small, cupola-shaped bump in the ground with beady black eyes, it will stretch upward ifKirby approaches to reveal its black mouth and potentially block Kirby's path, though otherwise it does not move. Its only method of harming Kirby is by contact. Sandman is easily defeated by any attack and can also be inhaled, though it yields noCopy Ability if swallowed. If Kirby attempts to raise one above his head, it will disintegrate into sand.
