'''Sand Furies''' are enemies in ''[[Fable III]]'' native to the deserts of [[Aurora]], and are mostly found in the regions of [[Shifting Sands]] and [[Sandfall Palace]]. Sand Furies are extremely acrobatic and have great reflexes and are even known to dodge and block bullets. They will back-flip away from charged Will abilities if they are given the space to do so.

==History==
Wandering the deserts of Aurora in tribes, the Sand Furies are proven to be expert warriors and masters of ambush, oftentimes burrowing into the sand only to pop up and surround their targets. They utilize both [[Katanas|katanas]] and a small crossbow of sorts, indicating a certain level of high intelligence. According to the legend mentioned in the description for the [[Desert Fury]], weapons such as those were used by the Sand Furies to slaughter every last male in the tribe, leaving their procreation habits a mystery.

Covered head-to-toe in a distinct [[Sand Fury Suit|suit]], Sand Furies remain mysterious beings. Though their appearance implies that they are [[human]], their extreme acrobatic skill and dexterity, combined with their inclination to speak only in battle-cries, suggests that they may be an as-of-yet unknown desert creature.

In ''[[Fable: Edge of the World]]'', Sand Furies are revealed to also haunt the deserts of [[Samarkand]].

==Types of Sand Furies==
*'''Standard Sand Fury:''' These are the weakest of the two types and can take roughly 5-6 hits with a 5 star melee weapon. They wield a Master Katana and are usually the first to attack.

*'''Sand Fury Matriarchs:''' These are strongest of the two types and can take roughly 8-9 hits with a 5 star melee weapon. They wield a [[Daichi]] styled katana and usually hold back and allow the weaker Sand Furies to attack first.

Sand Furies count as [[Enemy Classifications#Human Enemies|human enemies]] and [[Enemy Classifications#Auroran Enemies|enemies found near Aurora]] for the purpose of legendary weapon upgrades.

==Trivia==
*Sand Furies seem to replace [[Highwaymen]] of ''[[Fable II]]'', due to the fact they have similar fighting styles and like to ambush the hero.
*Regular Sand Furies use the [[Katana#Master_Katana_2|Master Katana]] model from ''Fable II'' and Sand Fury Matriarchs use the [[Daichi]] model from the same game. The use of the Daichi is fitting because the legendary weapon was said to have been wielded by a female warrior monk, [[Zuna Daichi]].
*[[Reaver]] uses Sand Furies to fight the [[Hero of Brightwall|Hero]] and [[Page]] during the quest [[The Masquerade]].
*They have a strong weakness to fire and when set alight by either spell or barrel they will flee until the flames extinguish.
*When killed by a shock spell their skeleton is shown to be human.
*In the ''Fable III'' Limited Collectors Edition card deck, a red Sand Fury is seen as the Queen of Clubs.
*It seems that there were once male sand furies but they were killed using the [[Desert Fury]].
*Their faces are never shown, and [[Barry Hatch]] makes a comment on this during The Masquerade Quest when the [[Hero of Brightwall|Hero]] first encounters them with Page.
*An early piece of concept art for the Sand Furies labelled them as "Dervishes" instead of Sand Furies.
*Earlier concept art for the Sand Fury showed them as being closer to human desert marauders.
