Category:Saurians

Saurians are a species of large bipedal lizards. Found mostly around riverbanks, they reach around ten feet in height and feed mostly on fish and animals. Saurians are moderately intelligent and possess a sort of social structure, tending to operate in groups called basks. Most basks of Saurians will have one of their own act as a lookout, usually while invisible, so exercise great caution around areas that are likely to be home to Saurians.

They surpass humans in terms of brute strength and defense and can expertly use their hunting spears as weapons. They can also spit poison globs from their mouths and quickly slither on the ground for a quick attack, retreating when injured.

A Saurian’s body is covered with tough scales that can easily withstand most frontal attacks. These scales can also render the Saurian near invisible, aiding them in ambushing their prey.

If you manage to cut off a Saurian’s tail, it will almost always lose the will to fight and will usually flee from battle. No one knows exactly why this is, but scholars theorize that a lost tail might demonstrate to others—especially potential mates—poor fitness, thus damaging a Saurian’s social standing. Also, losing a limb is generally a traumatizing event for most.
