Sandoons are animate sandenemies with pink plumage on their head andCapnap-like eyes that appear inMario & Luigi: Dream Team. In the field, Sandoons are submerged in the sand, and their eyes are the only parts visible unless approached; at that point, the Sandoon jumps out of the sand and chasesMario andLuigi relentlessly for a while if it notices them.
The brothers are required to fight two Sandoons who were harassing some of theShelltop workers.
Description[edit]
In battle, Sandoons may attack by submerging themselves and appearing before the Bro. they are about to charge into while still half-submerged, who must jump to avoid it. Sandoons can also attack by looking at the Bro. they are about to attack, submerging themselves to the point only their eyes can be seen occasionally, then sticking its eyes out each time it gets nearer to the brothers. Once close enough, it will pop out under them to swallow him whole. Mario or Luigi must hammer the Sandoon's eyes when it pops out right before the targeted brother.
If eaten, the brother takes damage on each of that Sandoon's turn, including the turn it eats them, but he is given a chance to do small but plentiful amounts of damage by frantically shaking about in the Sandoon's mouth while taking damage. While a brother is stuck inside a Sandoon, a mouth becomes visible, opening occasionally; a brother takes half the damage done to that Sandoon by the other brother. Once the Sandoon holding the brother captive is defeated, he is freed. If a Sandoon gulps a brother while aBoo Biscuit is active, it deactivates for him, and the eaten brother can take damage while in the Sandoon.
Short Sandoons sometimes appear in pairs inTorkscrew's battle occasionally during its background attack, and must be jumped over.
Sandoons haveDream World counterparts known asDreamy Sandoons.
