Sandgrass is a desert grass found on the planetAether. It is unique in that it requires absolutely no moisture to survive. Relying exclusively onphotosynthesis for sustenance, Sandgrass can be found extensively throughout theAgon Wastes.

Radical bio-mutations caused by genetic engineering are present in Sandgrass, possibly performed byLuminoth scientists in an effort to fortify the plant against the harsh environment resulting from the devastatingmeteor impact.

Logbook entry fromMetroid Prime 2: Echoes:Sandgrass
First Location:Agon Wastes
Sandgrass scans indicate that the plant requires no moisture to survive. It relies exclusively on solar energy for sustenance, making it well adapted for life in a desert environment. Evidence of extensive mutation present, suggesting radical bio-adjustments within the last centicycle. Mutation source is not natural: plant strain was genetically engineered, possibly by the Luminoth.[1]
