Director Robert Rodriguez says that the sand creature from the end of the first episode is his favorite creature in the whole series. It was his idea, but he had to pitch it during covid, which meant doing it over Zoom. How do you convey your idea for a four-armed sand creature over video chat? Well, he made a crude, malleable design out of wire, and also filmed himself as the creature, which helped production immensely.
