Sand Raider

Sand Raider

Sand Raiders are Animals.

Four armed melee battlers, Sand Raiders are tall, skinny, fast hitting monsters most often found in the surface areas of Act Two. They stalk around like living stilts, brandishing four swords though they only ever use two of them, and can be quite dangerous in numbers.

• All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.

Statistics

• The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest Treasure Class/Rune Group a normal monster of that type can drop.
  • TC Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the next higher group.
  • The max TC/Rune possible may depend on which level a monster spawns in, and can be lower than the maximum. See the item calculators to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.

Offence

Sand Raiders have elemental attacks, some fire, others cold, that work like the Sorceress' Enchant skill. Once they are activated by a successful hit, all the hits for a certain amount of time gain the elemental damage boost.

• Speed rates a monster's movement speed from 1-10. (Some special monsters are faster than 10. See below.)
