Sulfur Saurian

Sulfur Saurian is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma.

Overview

Sulfur Saurians are a subspecies of the spear wielding Saurian with dark green and yellow striped skin. They are almost always cloaked, even within close proximity. Their spit can cause torpor.

Like regular Saurians, their defense sharply decreases once the tail is cut off, which also disables their cloaking ability. Unlike common Saurians they are also susceptible to fire, whilst being relatively resistant to ice; also unlike their lesser cousins they are immune to Torpor, and vulnerable to Poison.

Pawn Bestiary Knowledge

Sulfur Saurian habitat

Sulfur Saurians have the ability to camouflage themselves, so listen closely for their growl. Saurians sustain more damage if attacked when caught off guard (or if they're asleep). Sniper skills like Comet Shot and Lyncean Sight are well suited for surprising unaware foes.

For full information, refer to the Bestiary page or the according section on the Saurian page. Enemy specific :

• Get hit by the spit attack
• The Saurian Tactics Vol. 1 scroll will grant knowledge for this enemy.

In addition to witnessing these techniques, it is necessary for Pawns to participate in killing 150 Sulfur Saurians either with their own Arisen or while travelling with others.
