It lives in areas of limited rainfall. When danger approaches, it curls up into a ball to protect its soft stomach.
Riz accidentally stumbled on an abandoned pokemon egg, which hatched into a little Sandshrew which immediately imprinted on Riz and refuses to believe Riz is not his mother. Roic is the biggest baby Riz has ever taken care of, and he likes to ride on Riz's back. Riz got him a little backpack, because Roic's claws were truly damaging so many of his shirts.

On a second trip to Mt Moon with Boober, Riz found a small family of Sandslash and Sandshrew. They might not have been Roic's original family, but they were happy enough to adopt him, and Roic was happy enough to go with them.
