History

The Sandman is a mythical being from folklore, originating from Northern European lore (specifically rural Germany), who is said to be the embodiment of dreams. He is a figure that is rumored to put people to sleep by sprinkling magical sand onto the eyes of children while they sleep at night. The rheum in one's eyes upon waking is believed to be the result of the Sandman's work the previous evening. For bad children who still wouldn't sleep, he would either sit on their eyes to force them asleep or scoop their eyes out.

Profile

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

"A faerie from rural Germany, rumored to put people to sleep using the magic sand he carried in his bag. If a victim resisted, he would sit on their eyelids to force them to sleep."

—Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey compendium

Sandman demons are the pivotal players in an extra mission called Sandman's backup bag. In the basement of Sector Antlia, the protagonist can find a Sandman who, after explaining that the bag it carries is figuratively its "soul," asks the protagonist to get back his lent bag. After the protagonist encounters a Sandman and asks for it back, it is revealed the other Sandman had simply forgotten to return it. Afterwards, a Chakra Pot is rewarded when the protagonist delivers it to the original Sandman.
