Sandy

Real Name: Unknown

Identity/Class: Supernatural being

Occupation: (former) Commander of the Heavenly Hosts; (current) bodyguard to the Monk Tripitaka

Affiliations: Tripitaka, The Monkey King, Pigsy

Enemies: Unknown

Known Relatives: None known

Aliases: Sandy

Base of Operations: China; (formerly) Heaven; then The River of Flowing Sands

First Appearance: Journey to the West (c. A.D.1500), although the original legend may date back to c. A.D.600

Powers/Abilities: As well as being extremely strong and able to breathe underwater, Sandy retains some of his magical abilities from when he worked in Heaven. For example, he is able to transform a small gourd into a gigantic one that can be used to cross rivers. He is also a skilled alchemist.

History: Sandy was once the Commander of the Heavenly Hosts. When Monkey was causing trouble in Heaven, Sandy was one of those who fought him in an effort to subdue him. During their fight they smashed the Jade cup, and Sandy got the blame. As punishment he was cast down into the River of Flowing Sands on Earth, where he was transformed into a Fish spirit who devoured anyone who came near his home.

He spent many years there, killing unwary travellers, before he encountered Monkey once more, now the guard for the pilgrim Kuan-Yin (a.k.a. Tripitaka in the TV version). Offered a way back to heaven by the young priest, Sandy joined the quest to the West, and completed the disparate trio of guardians. Serious, calm and slightly arrogant, Sandy provided a perfect foil for Monkey's irrepressiblity and Pigsy's buffoonery. Though his pride in his own ability sometimes led to trouble, Sandy was normally a far more useful member of the company than Pigsy.

Comments: In the original story, Monkey, Sandy and Pigsy are all ugly and scary-looking, but Sandy is supposed to be by far the most hideous. However he is also the most spiritually advanced of Tripitaka's three disciples. In the series, he is the most pessimistic, but in the book he is said to be the most balance-minded of the three.

He was armed with a Water Staff (a long, strong stick with a metal blade on each end). Around his neck he wore a necklace consisting of nine skulls, made up from the remains of victims whose skulls refused to sink (normally nothing would float in the River of Flowing Sands, but these proved to be an exception).
