'''Sandfury trolls''', otherwise known as the '''desert trolls''' or '''sand trolls''', are a [[race]] and [[tribe]] of [[troll]]s found in [[Tanaris]] known for ruthlessness and dark mysticism and their worship of the [[hydra]] [[Gahz'rilla]]. According to the [[Troll Compendium]], they are the descendants of the [[jungle troll]]s.<ref name="Encyc">http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/troll/sandtribes.html</ref> However, the later published ''[[Monster Guide]]'' states that they originated from the main troll races, which descended from the [[Zandalar troll]]s.<ref name="MG 138">{{ref rpg | author = Cassada, Jackie | coauthors = Brandon Crowley, Richard Farrese, Bob Fitch, Bruce Graw, Luke Johnson, Adam Loyd, Andrew Rowe, Amber E.

Several thousands years prior to the War of the Ancients, the Sandfury tribe was originally part of the [[Gurubashi]] empire. The Great [[Sundering]] split the jungle trolls' territory, which left the Sandfury tribe in the middle of the desert of Tanaris. There is the possibility that these trolls were left here to guard against the remaining [[Aqir]].<ref name="Encyc"/>

Today, they bear little resemblance to the jungle trolls of their lineage.<ref name="Encyc"/> As an example, they have coarse, cracked, tough, gold or brown skin. One thing the two races share in common is the [[shaman]]istic path of [[Voodoo]].

The trolls have been forced to give up the majority of Tanaris to outsiders, and are thus fierce to defend what remains theirs.<ref name="Encyc"/> They battle with both the [[Horde]] and the [[Alliance]], as well as the the [[silithid]], who are descendants of the Aqir, and the goblins ruled by the goblin [[Trade Princes]], who founded the nearby city of Gadgetzan. Those sentient beings are in part attracted to Zul'Farrak due to [[Sul'thraze the Lasher]], which is rumored to reside in Zul'Farrak.<ref name="Encyc"/>

Sandfury trolls seem to have one of the most diverse number of social units in their society, ranging from Axe Throwers, Hideskinners, Blood Drinkers, Guardians and Executioners who act as the warriors and hunters of Zul'Farrak, to the Shadow Hunters, Soul Eaters, Firecallers and Witch Doctors who are potent Voodoo casters. It is rumored that slaves are also employed by the Sandfury tribe as warriors, and extra labour. A number of priest-type trolls such as Zealots and Acolytes seem to be at the core of the sand troll civilisation, acting as religious leaders. Drudges and Cretins seem to perform the menial labour, similar to the role of peons.
