Sand King Lore & Background Story
Crixalis was once an ancient king whose kingdom was swallowed by the desert. Transformed into a scorpion-like creature of living sand, he now commands the dunes themselves. His fury shakes the earth, and those who tread upon his domain risk being pulled beneath the surface forever. Fellow subterranean predator Nyx Assassin shares his affinity for ambush from below, though Nyx strikes with venom where Sand King strikes with seismic force.
