A highly stealthy group with the art of Earth Chi, these Chima residents have been known for their mind control expertise. The Scarabs were more immoral among the tribes of Chima, never trusting anybody and living underground in the Sands of a place in Chima called the Desert of Despair. It was a very small desert the size of a small forest, and at the center was the Scarab Tribe's village, an oasis with a system of underground tunnels. The Scarabs distrusted many other tribes with the exception of the Wolves. During Season 1 of LEgends of Chima, they allied themselves with the Crocodiles and Wolves and Ravens during their attacks on the Lions and Eagles. They were great at digging, but were also great flyers as well. They were mostly Arabic and Egyptian in terms of the style of their architecture and weaponry, and were comfortable in both the air and dirt, but not in water. Though they COULD swim, and were good at it, they disliked water because they were more comfortable with dirt and sand. There is a scarab Legend Beast. Their vehicles mainly consist of vehicles with drills on them.

Duneston is a giant warrior with solar magic who is the representative of the tribe. In the Lego sets, he is a Big Fig. He is a warrior who is actually more moral among the Scarabs and is their strongest warrior, but will do as the rest of the tribe does for the sake of his people. He is good friends with Cragger and Worriz, but dislikes Gorzan's hippie attitude.

Glasslash is a scheming genius of the tribe, an expert in stealth missions and master spy. He wears armor made of desert glass, and will follow any order from his superiors without question, though some say he is too loyal, as he sees himself as less important than his superiors, even going so far as to call himself expendable.

Sandra and Cacta are twin sisters who enjoy astrology to use as weapons against them with sun and moon armor respectively. Sandra is more cool and collected while Cacta is more energetic and perky.

Duston is the Master behind the scarab tribe, as their king and sultan, he only respects those who are strong and fierce. He appointed Duneston as the representative of the tribe due to his strength in battle, but doesn't like his trusting nature.
