The Sandshell Strider, or simply the Sandshell, is a species of sturdyshell appearing in Pikmin Evolution. They are large, tortoise-like creatures with brown and orange shells and bright blue eyes. They are found mainly in the Bleached Dunes, though they also appear in a few dens as well. They are found underneath the titular sand dunes of the Bleached Dunes. Larger dunes that release clouds of sand are ones inhabited by one of the creatures. The Sandshell, once dug out, is actually not a hostile creature, as it's purely an herbivore that eats seeds and roots and not plant-like creatures like Pikmin. It is, however, irritable, and often performs tantrums as it walks across the desert dunes before digging into a spot to rest once again. The reasoning for this is the clumps of sandstone on its shell causing it discomfort.

Its shell is large enough to be walked on and sturdy enough to withstand any major blow from even the weight of Alloy Pikmin.
