We would like to thank ZeroEdge, dak and Nexsis for additional information. Original Game Codex TextIf not for the tall tales of desert nomads and a few grainy satellite reconnaissance images, Tatooine’s so-called “Sand Demon” would be considered a myth. Jawas say the Sand Demon is feared by all other life on the planet, including the mighty krayt dragon–for the Sand Demon is the krayt’s only predator. Some stories report that the beast is capable of “sand swimming,” gliding underneath the surface of the desert as if it were water. Others claim it bores through rock using its hardened, talon-like legs.Cave paintings suggest the Sand People believe the Sand Demon devours the life essence of its victims, growing stronger and tougher with each kill. They depict stories of centuries-old demons that have become immune to injury, a warning heeded by even the most skeptical outsiders. |

Sand Demon |
Cannot be reached unless you are a Jedi Knight, as they are in a phase instance for one of their quests.
More specifically, it’s the Strong rated Sand Demons inside the “Into the Sand Demon’s lair” phase that give the update. Anyone can join a Jedi Knight on that particular stage in his quest and get the update by killing one of these, as I just did (thanks Chrono on The Red Eclipse!).
As a part of the Sith Warrior quest line you also encounter Sand Demons, but I have completed all of those and never received the codex entry for them, once I have gotten all the other bestiary entries, I’ll note here whether it seems to be republic only, or is bugged.
I have gotten every other Bestiary entry for this planet and completed all Sith Warrior Sand Demon related quests on Tattooine. As far as I can tell, this is bugged for the Empire.
I have completed the bestiary without getting a sand demon, I believe it has been removed as a requirement.
Bestiary – Sand Demon now available for Warrior too
after finish quest line.
if already do it – will be granted it automatically
i have tried twice, teamed up with a knight and killed every single sand demon on my own and didnt get anything, no codex, nothing… its bugging me so hard that i cant seem to get this codex entry idk what to do
So i just tried this with my Trooper – got into a group with Sentinel, killed the mob – nothing.
My own JK and SW did it in 1.0 and achieves were not granted (maybe because I missed the entire 2.0) but they both have the codex entry.
I wrote to CS – they said its a bug to be adressed in future patches. Giving how little it means to most people, I dont expect it to be fixed anytime soon.
So the only way to get Beasmaster of Tatooine these days – roll a fresh new JK or SW.
