Despite being fiercely protective of its shovel, it longs to play with children in the sand, and will cry if left alone for too long. These tears turn into shells that shine brighter than normal ones, and are treasured by collectors.
In the evening, it takes great delight in popping out of rivers and startling people. It likes the shovel on its head, so Sandybre will get serious and fight any children who come to take it back.
