Androzani Minor was a dry, sandy planet close to Androzani Major. Androzani Minor was a desert planet, its oceans having dried up billions of years ago. Due to the unusual composition of the planet, boiling hot mud flows throughout the planet's crust, blasting its way to the surface in dangerous explosions. The planet is riddled with caves that have been excavated by the violent mud flows, some of which lacked oxygen.
Despite the conditions of the planet, it had a breathable atmosphere and is home to some forms of life, such as the Spectrox Bats and the Magma Beasts. Humans also come to the planet, mainly to gather the Spectrox found in the caves; it does not seem to have any permanent Human settlements aboveground (DW: The Caves of Androzani)
