Inspired by this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188835#post10451617)thread,
WHat happens when an amphibious creature tries to live in a desert/arid enviornment? How can they manage? I thought there was something in sandstorm about such places being epsecially bad for aquatic creatures, amphibious or not.
I know that few amphibians can survive in deserts IRL (outside oasises,) those few have to hibernate during dry periods, underground, encased in thick mucus or with other protection.
