Pyre Saurian (called Salamander in Japanese) is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.
Overview
Pyre Saurians are a subspecies of Saurians that dwell within Bitterblack Isle. These Saurians are enveloped in flame.
Unlike their Saurian cousins, Pyre Saurians lack the spinal spikes that run up the back and the horn-like manes most Saurians seem to possess; their tails 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.

Pawn Bestiary Knowledge
For full information, refer to the Bestiary or the according section on the Saurian page. Enemy specific:
- Extinguish its flame cloak (douse with water, attack with Ice, cut the tail).
- Attack with fire to reignite them
- Get burned by its flame cloak (Pawns may warn "Simply touching them yields grievious burns!")
In addition to witnessing these techniques, it is necessary for Pawns to participate in killing 300 Pyre Saurians either with their own Arisen or while travelling with others.
