Sand Sentry
Creature 6 — earth, elemental
CrasherAnvilLANDSUBTERRANEANelementalearth
This creature of pure sand moves with an eerie grace, shifting back and forth between a detailed likeness of a human and a muted and featureless bipedal form. The sand sentry is often called upon by spellcasters to stand guard over an area of great importance; these elementals are patient participants in such roles, making them well suited for long-term service. Certain earth elementals manifest as specific types of material, be they boulders, sand, or crystals.

Abilities
Glass Armor — When the sand sentry takes electricity or fire damage, its outer layer of sand fuses into sheets of hardened glass for 1 minute. This increases the sand sentry's AC to 26 and grants it resistance 5 to acid, cold, electricity, fire, force, piercing, and slashing damage. A sand sentry can't use earth glide while glass armor is active.
Blinding Sand — When the sand sentry critically hits with a fist Strike, the target is Blinded for 1 round.
Earth Glide — A sand sentry can Burrow through earthen matter, including rock. When it does so, it moves at its full burrow Speed, leaving no tunnels or signs of its passing.
