Saurus (WAR Lore)
|
Mighty Saurus Warriors form the basis of the armies of the Lizardmen, for it is they who were created specifically for the purpose of warfare by the Old Ones. Saurus are spawned in dark pools in the caverns beneath the temple-cities. From the moment they are grown enough to crawl from the spawning pools, they know how to fight and conduct warfare. Many are the accounts of the Saurus launching perfectly timed ambushes and maneuvers, even when it might seem to an outside observer that there was no communication amongst the Saurus themselves.
Entire spawns occasionally produce Saurus Warriors that have slightly different natural abilities and skills than their brethren. Some say that the Old Ones foresaw the future, and could predict when warriors with particular skills would be needed, and so the seemingly random spawns are all part of the Old Ones' careful calculations. These spawns are regarded as blessings from the gods themselves, sent to assist the Slann in their sacred duty.
