desert dweller
Arid land resident
A desert dweller is someone or something that lives in a desert—an arid region with sparse vegetation and extreme temperatures.
The term applies to humans, animals, and plants adapted to harsh, dry conditions: Desert dwellers know how to find water where others see only sand.
Camels, scorpions, and cacti are all desert dwellers.
