FANTASTICAL DESERT LANDS

THE SANDWORM CONTROLLER (Character / Creature fusion): Who is able to control a giant sand creature that lives in the desert. Sandworms are incredibly powerful, and they can easily swallow a person whole. They are typically solitary creatures, but they can be aggressive if they feel threatened. What type of being, or person, could control such a thing and how?
THE SANDSTORM SPIRIT: A powerful spirit that is said to control the sandstorms. The Sandstorm Spirit is often depicted as a beautiful woman with flowing hair and eyes of fire. She is said to be both benevolent and malevolent, and her moods can change as quickly as the desert sands.
THE DESERT ORACLE: A wise woman who lives in the desert. The Desert Oracle is said to have knowledge of the past, present, and future. She is often consulted by people who are seeking guidance or answers. She can be depicted as being witch like.
THE DESERT DJINN: A magical creature that lives in the desert. Djinn are said to be able to grant wishes, but they can also be mischievous and unpredictable. They are often depicted as being humanoid in appearance, but they can also take on other forms."
