The '''Sand Eaters''' are a legion of the [[Cabal]]. It is the largest and most commonly encountered Legion on [[Mars]] before the [[Red Legion]], fighting on the front lines against the [[Vex]]. They have weaker tactics and morale than the other legions, but they still press on with fierce determination.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Sand_Eaters|Sand Eaters]]''</ref> They can be identified by their white, green and orange armor. The [[Dust Giants]], another [[Cabal]] Legion are known to be a subdivision of the Sand Eaters. During the [[Taken War]], the Sand Eaters took massive casualties fighting the [[Taken]], losing about 58% of all their troops stationed across Mars and [[Phobos]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/09/15)''', ''Destiny: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Ghost Scan: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/ghost-scan-cabal-losses Cabal losses]''</ref> | |||

Despite their numbers advantage, they would be unable to defeat the lone Lightbearer, who would kill [[Bracus Tho'ourg]]. Later the Sand Eaters would attempt to take control of the [[Buried City]] from the [[Virgo Prohibition]].

==Trivia== | |||
*The Sand Eaters were originally described as guarding the [[Dust Palace]] in early promotional material. | |||
*The Sand Eaters are the first Legion (and 1 of 5 Legions) that operates without a [[Primus]], the other 4 are [[Dust Giants]], [[Ice Reapers]], [[Siege Dancers]], and the [[Broken Legion]]. | |||
**However, [[Umun'arath]] was the Primus of All Legions, meaning she possibly was the Primus of Sand Eaters, Dust Giants, Ice Reapers, and Siege Dancers. | |||
*The Sand Eaters and the [[Dust Giants]] are the only two legions in which their legionaries wear re-breathers on their helmets. Given that the rest of the scout legions also operate in the same harsh environments of Mars, it is unknown why they require extra filtration. | |||
**A possible reason of this, is that the Sand Eaters and the Dust Giants are mostly in front of battles or in more conflict than the rest of the other legions. | |||
*[[Terrabase Charon]] on [[Io]] features banners and emblems of the Sand Eaters, indicating that it was formerly one of their bases prior to being taken over by the [[Red Legion]] or that members of the Sand Eaters were relocated there during the [[Red War]] before the base was abandoned entirely. | |||
