Bio
Sand King was a normal Scorpion in the desert of Kalimdor, but somehow evolved faster than their brothers, and soon grew to gigantic proportions, and so the King of the Dead urged him to protect their frozen throne. Sand King, mutated, lost the ability of Scorpio, so he is able to dig into the ground and reappear in unexpected places, and secrete a deadly poison, he is able to blow up their opponents. Some say he can even cause earthquakes, erasing from the face of the earth trapped in the vicinity of the poor fellows.
