Does a “Sand Dragon” exist anywhere in any game system that I can look to for inspiration?

My concept is winged-but-flightless dragons (think penguin or ostrich) that reside in the desert. They can use their wings to whip up a mini-sandstorm that blinds opponents, and have a super hot (but not flaming) breath. They may be more defensive than aggressive, using their blinding technique to get away, or using the breath to melt weapons and armor, making the fight impossible. They WILL attack aggressively when cornered though.

Instinct: To retreat to safety

*Blind with sand

*Destroy weapon and armor

Thoughts please? Thanks!

Stuck inside during a hurricane and reflecting on recent events here in the Carolinas I decided to quickly whip up a dungeon world monster. Perfect for your Halloween session or a hook for Funnel World.

Demogorgon (Solitary, Huge, Stealthy, Planar, Terrifying)

Withering tentacles (d10+3 damage) 20 HP 1 armor

Reach, Near

Special Qualities: Gaze attack can charm or drive insane

Demogorgon appears as an 18-foot-tall (5.5 m), reptilian (or amphibious) hermaphroditic demon prince with a somewhat humanoid form. Two mandrill heads sprout from his twin snake-like necks, and his arms end in long tentacles. His two heads have individual minds, called Aameul (the left head) and Hethradiah (the right head). One of Demogorgon’s best-kept secrets, even from his cultists and minions, is that his two personas strive to dominate (and even kill) each other, but are unable to because they are aspects of one another. Despite this duality, many of Demogorgon’s plots revolve around either permanently separating or uniting these two personas. His blue-green skin is plated with snake-like scales, his body and legs are those of a giant lizard, and his thick tail is forked. His appearance testifies to his command of cold-blooded things such as serpents, reptiles, and octopi.

Instinct: Corrupts

Spreads Insanity

Always moves twice

Immune to most magic

Beware the Petroleum Ooze!

Beware the Petroleum Ooze!

Beware the Petroleum Ooze!

Many players (from other systems) think that they must bash it to death and to be certain of it’s death you need to burn it.  Well, bashing a Petroleum Ooze just gets the ooze all over the place and setting it on fire….AHHH!!! FLAMING OOZE!!!

Just a little humor for your day.  No stats or anything, more of a hazard than anything else.
