Pyre Saurian



 (called Salamanders in Japanese) is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.

Pyre Saurians are a subspecies of saurians that dwell within Bitterblack Isle. These saurians are covered in heavy-duty scales and have enveloped themselves in flames; while on fire they have a molten rock like appearance. Unlike their cousins, the Pyre Saurian lacks the spinal spikes that run up the backs, the horn like manes most saurians seem to possess and have tails that are flat at the tip.

The Pyre Saurian's body is a charcoal black with random breaks of molten red and yellow, its mouth and tail are constantly ablaze unless dowsed with water or ice. However once extinguished, the saurian is completely black in coloration until it flares up once more.
