Camel people... that follow a convoluted religion that normally ends with a beheading or a stoning.
Mirages - then you can go nuts, put what ever you want in.
Bugs. So many bugs. Giant scorpions. Giant antlions. Scarab swarms. Giant trapdoor spiders. Giant bloodflies. Giant tarantulas. Giant wheel spiders. Giant maggots. So many fucking bugs.
Lamia.
Both kinds. The snake and the Lion kind.
Maybe they're fighting over which of their people are the real Lamia.
Lizards, cacti, course sand that gets everywhere. Water elementals guarding the water. Mirages. Bandits.
A very confused elf.
A Sarlacc Pit by any other name.
Covered with a layer of quicksand that drains into its gullet as soon as someone's bogged in, naturally.

Such as "an anteater pit"?
Sand elves that are full MUH WORD OF HONOR, SAHIB and get really pissy if you break your word in any way, insult their god, or badmouth their camel (That they named Shitmouth Son Of A Bastard Shitcunt, but god forbid *you* badmouth the honorable beast).
