This techinque makes a clone out of sand like the water clone techinque. This techinque has only been used by Gaara and Sasori once, when Gaara faced Sasuke Uchiha and when Sasori faced Kankuro.

There are two noticeable differences seen in sand clones that are not seen in other clones. The first difference is that while the sand takes the form of it's master, it will always take the color of sand. This means that it is almost useless as a decoy. The second difference is that while most clones disappear after one hit, it takes at least 2 hits to destroy a sand clone. This increased sturdiness implies great combat potential, rivalling that of even clones created by the Mirrored Sudden Attacker Technique.
