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.

==History==
The Sand Eaters arrived in Sol sometime after the [[Collapse]]. They would set up bases at the [[Exclusion Zone]], [[Scablands]], and [[The Barrens]] on [[Mars]].
 
[[The Guardian]] would arrive at the [[Exclusion Zone]] on [[Mars]], to search for an entrance to the [[Black Garden]]. Despite their numbers advantage, they would be unable to defeat the lone Lightbearer, who would kill [[Bracus Tho'ourg]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Exclusion Zone (mission)|Exclusion Zone]]''</ref> Later, the Sand Eaters would attempt to take control of the [[Buried City]] from the [[Virgo Prohibition]]. However, the Guardian would stop them, killing [[Bracus Tha'aurn]] and weakening their hold over the city.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Buried City (mission)|The Buried City]]''</ref>

==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]] is the Primus of All Legions, meaning she's possibly 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.
