== Appearance and Anatomy ==
Sandlings come in various sizes, with several species being significantly larger than a human. They appear to be arthropods, with a hard, segmented carapace. However, some sections of a sandling's body are covered in interlocking scales, like a reptile. Unlike arthropods, they have mouths with long teeth, a tongue, and liquid saliva. Though they appear to have eyelids, they cannot see, and must "feel" to find their prey.{{book ref|ws1|1}} They are usually gray in color.{{book ref|ws2|3}}
=== Interactions with Investiture ===
Some sandlings have '''terken''' shells, making them immune to [[sand mastery]]. Any [[Investiture|Invested]] sand that touches terken shells becomes black and loses it power. Terken shells can also be made into an oil-based liquid and smeared on people or objects to make them immune.{{book ref|ws2|2}} Assassins covet this oil for use in fighting sand masters,{{book ref|ws2|4}} although it does not suppress sand masters from manipulating objects not actually covered in the oil.{{book ref|ws2|2}}
[[Khrissalla]] takes a scientific interest in both sandling carapace and sand excreted by the sandlings; she discovers some unusual properties after performing various experiments.
