FIRE SAURIAN

Pyre Saurians (also known as Salamanders) are an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.


Overview[]

Pyre Saurians are a Saurian like creature that dwell within Bitterblack Isle. They are enveloped in flame. 

Unlike Saurians, Pyre Saurians lack the spinal spikes that run up the back and the horn-like manes, giving them a more salamander-like appearance; 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 Chatter[]

"Yes! Now's my chance!" (after extinguishing Pyre Saurian's flame cloak)
"Focus on those whose flame is quenched!"
"Crush the lot of them once they're frozen."

Notes[]

  • According to the expanded 'Design Works' for Dark Arisen these creatures are not true Saurians, but are fire spirits.
  • In the japanese localization of the game these creatures are called 'Salamanders' ["サラマンダー"] - this is a reference to amphibians known as Salamanders - the mythical properties of which include an association with fire (see Wikipedia: Salamanders in folklore, and Wikipedia: Legendary salamander in popular culture).
    • Similar creatures in role playing games include the Salamander in Dungeons & Dragons and the Flauros in the Pathfinder RPG.
