Sabulum is a Pre-Hardmode.

It's biome is the Desert.

While Sabulum is alive, its exclusive will play.

Spawn
Sabulum does not spawn by himself, rather being summoned via a Gilded Scarab Idol.

Behaviour
A large Sandy wormhole will spawn in, with Sabulum fading out of it, where the fight then begins.

Attacks

 * Scarabian Dash: Sabulum will emerge from below the player's feet into the sky.
 * Holy Scarab: A set of three Gilded Scarabs will spawn, attempting to kill the player, Whilst the three are alive, Sabulum cannot be harmed, making them a necessity.
 * Duned Beam: A set of lines will spawn, then disappear, where large beams of Purpley Pink flame will spawn in their places, then fade out, with enough of a gap between each beam to allow the player to dodge.
 * Sandstorm: Sabulum will occasionally summon a sandstorm that travels across the ground.
 * Unholy Spawn: Sabulum summons a large, Amalgamated Worm, that will attempt to ram into the player. Killing it in not necessary, unlike the Holy Scarabs, but advised due to its high Damage.

Enraged Attacks

 * Duned Spiral: Large Sandstone Spears will spawn at Sabulum's location, firing out in a Spiral formation, making the player circle the boss to dodge effectively, this is slow to counteract its power.
 * All attacks are fired more rapidly, and Sabulum will slide around more often.
 * Instead of Three Gilded Scarab, it becomes six
 * The Unholy Amalgamation can now fire a Putrid Duneball at the player, which debuffs them with temporary suffocation.
 * Pharaohs Ray: A straight line will spawn from Sabulum, and end where the player is standing, it will temporarily track the player, where it will then stop, firing a large beam, akin to the Duned beams prior, which stays stationary for six seconds, before disappearing.

Nightmare Mode

 * Boss fight begins in its Enraged Phase
 * Holy Flame: A burst of flame will fire upwards from below the player, with a glowing Purple ring beneath the player characters feet to indicate its spawning, this works like the Geyser from vanilla.
 * Sabulum's Sandstorm attack will have a faster speed.

Aftermath

 * Once the boss is defeated, you will have access to Scarabian Alloy, (Given 12-23 in Normal Mode, 25-33 in Expert Mode, and 50-56 in Nightmare Mode). With said alloy, you will be able to craft the Scarabian Pharaoh Armour, as well as Weapons themed around the Egyptian Gods, at least, in name.
 * Defeating Sabulum allows Desert Enemies to drop Desert Souls
