The '''Sand Tarakava''' are elusive, specialized relatives of the [[Tarakava]] species.

== History ==
The Sand Tarakava species was created by the [[Makuta]] using [[Virus]]es and [[Protodermis#Liquid Protodermis|Liquid Protodermis]] to be one of the [[Rahi]] to inhabit the [[Matoran Universe]].{{BookCitation|MGttU|63|entryname=The Makuta}}

A population of Sand Tarakava once lived in [[Metru Nui]], making their home in [[Po-Metru]].{{BookCitation|RB|103|entryname=Sand Tarakava}} After the [[Great Cataclysm]], they fled the [[Visorak (Rahi)|Visorak]] hordes and immigrated to the island of [[Mata Nui (Location)|Mata Nui]], where they lived for 1,000 years.{{BookCitation|BEU|125|entryname=Sand Tarakava}} Most Sand Tarakava resided in the beaches of [[Ga-Wahi]] and the deserts of [[Po-Wahi]],{{BookCitation|BEU|125|entryname=Sand Tarakava}} and shared their territory with other large Rahi, including the [[Nui-Jaga]]. Makuta [[Teridax]] used [[Infected Kanohi]] to control the Sand Tarakava in his [[Great War|assault]] on the [[Matoran]] of Mata Nui.{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|8}}

When the [[Toa Nuva]] [[Scroll of Preparations|intentionally unleashed]] the [[Bohrok]], these Sand Tarakava migrated back to Metru Nui.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=34|post=1357|lines=5,20}}
