The Sand Snipes are tiny insect-like Rahi.
History
The Sand Snipe species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.[1]
A population of Sand Snipes made their home in the arid district of Po-Metru on Metru Nui.[2]
After the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, the surviving Sand Snipes left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to Spherus Magna.[3]
Abilities and Traits
Sand Snipes are a pest to the Matoran because they often burrow underneath Matoran armor and bite the organic tissue beneath. They are easily trapped: accustomed to barren regions, they are captivated by the sight of Liquid Protodermis, and sometimes dive into a puddle of it and drown in an instant. This odd behavior led to the Matoran expression "foolish as a Sand Snipe."[2]
