The Sand Baron[1] is an enemy that appears in Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall. It is a species of Fusion Monsters that is used in Fuse's Army, and the boss version of the Sand Creep.
Physical appearance
Essentially a larger version of the Sand Creep, the Sand Baron is a slightly humanoid Fusion Monster. Possessing a shifting body made of dark gray rock and yellow-beige sand, it has a broad-shouldered and bulky upper body with a rock protruding from its bottom instead of legs and a pelvis. Notably, it has a small, low-set head with featureless red eyes with flaps for ears and two more flaps on its chins, but no mouth. On top of its head and right shoulder also protrudes a rock. It also has large forearms with four-fingered hands made of rock. Lastly, Fusion Matter leaks from various rifts around its body.
Gameplay
In gameplay, the Sand Barons are enemy monsters that the player can fight at various points in the game. To target a Sand Baron, align the Avatar with it to make its information window appear on the top of the screen. Should its Health Bar reach zero when battling it, the Fusion Matter animating the Sand Baron will break up, and the Sand Baron will disintegrate.[2] The player will then automatically receive some Fusion Matter and Taros as reward. However, while the Sand Baron's Taro reward remains consistent, its Fusion Matter reward will decrease for each level the Avatar is above the Sand Baron; if the Avatar is six levels higher than the Sand Baron or higher, no Fusion Matter is rewarded. Sometimes, the player also automatically receives loot from defeated Sand Barons in the form of C.R.A.T.E.s, Nano Potions, and Weapon Boosts.
In battle, the Sand Barons target the Avatar when they get close enough. However, the higher the Avatar's level is, the closer they can get to a Sand Baron without it attacking them. Once they begin fighting, the Sand Barons will continue attacking until either they are destroyed, the Avatar is defeated, or the Avatar moves too far away from their point of origin. If the Avatar runs away from them, the Sand Barons will follow them until they get too far away from their area of roaming, at which point they will return, where they will regain their full health instantly. Notably, while retreating, they will be invulnerable to attacks. Also, once defeated, a Sand Baron will respawn after one hundred seconds.
