May 19, 2008 19:00:52 I'm preparing for my first Dark Sun campaign ever, and I can't seem to find a picture of a sand howler anywhere (other than in the Dark Sun computer game). Could someone perhaps point me to a book that may have one in it? Thanks!

May 20, 2008 14:16:12 I always wondered what use evolution would have found for spikes on the belly pointing backwards...:D

"Tonight on the Pyreen Wildlife Conservation channel, follow the reputed Gratt brothers tracking Sand Howlers..."

"As you can see, the Sand Howler backs up on its prey to impale it on its belly spikes..."

Oh, not at all, the spikes are not the problem.
It's the fact that they're pointing backwards.:P

Yeah, I sure do love Baxa.

It sure is spiky art.
