Desert Lagiacrus is a little smaller than the Common Lagiacrus. The back and the topside of tail, neck and head are sand-colored for camouflage effect while the underside and the tail tip are dirty white. The spikes on the back are dark crimson. The tail has a bigger fin so that the Leviathan is able to swim faster in the sand. In difference to the normal Lagiacrus the mouth is longer and thinner. Desert Lagiacrus possesses long, sharp teeth for holding prey. Desert Lagiacrus' horns are bigger for attacks from underneath the sand. The legs are stronger and shovel-like to support the swimming in the sand.
