My guess is because the developers has taken some inspiration from creatures that lived in earths ancient oceans. During the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian and Devonian periods especially a lot of sea creatures were segmented and armored. Compare the Sandshark to the Placoderm Bothriolepis that lived 360 million years ago and you'll see a definate similarity.
