It has six legs, all with a black color scheme, pointing downwards. The flatter, dull side has a bone-like color with purple markings at random points, with an eye located right between the legs. Its mouthparts are complex, resembling those of a real-world bobbit worm. It possesses a tongue-like appendage that allows it to extend to great lengths and latch onto prey.+ +The Sandspear is a light-purple cone-shaped Crustacean with two fins at the end of the tip of its backside, resembling an arrow's fletching.

The Sandspear is hostile and will attack players when approached. This triggers a cutscene similar to those of larger predators. They can be seen burrowing into the ground, leaving only their teeth and a plant-like lure exposed, where they wait to ambush prey. This behavior is similar to the Spikey Trap of 4546B's Sector Zero. A burrowed Sandspear will get startled by light and swim away a short distance. Upon scanning the growbed, the player receives a PDA message informing them that one should “consider growing juvenile sandspears for home defense". This is not currently possible in-game. ## Databank Entry **Source:** Scan a Sandspear > DATABANK ENTRY COMING SOON ## Gallery +*A Sandspear baiting its prey*+ +*In the dark, the bait may be interesting to prey.
