The Saurian Three

Heroes of all kinds are called upon by nature whether they wield blade, claw, spell, or tooth. Some of those who answer the need utilize all of these, however, and few are as remarkably effective at protecting sacred places from trespassers, stopping fell prophecies from coming to pass, and taking revenge for lands despoiled as the brutal, ferocious, and vicious Saurian Three. These creatures have been blessed by nature with unmatched cunning and know how to utilize the tools of their most common foe—adventurers—to defend it.

The Saurian Three can be utilized as enemies, allies, recurring NPCs, or potentially even player characters, depending on the needs of your game. As always, be sure to consult your Narrator before coming to the table with a magically intelligent dinosaur for a PC.

Abtazri the Brutal. Born with an incredibly keen mind, the allosaurus Abtazri realized the responsibility of her impressive intellect after defeating her third fearsome predator and began seeking out sacred places in need of protection.

Kadderia the Ferocious. Kadderia’s fierce intelligence was gained unintentionally when their territory happened to surround a place where an important bit of nature magic gestated. Near its zenith, adventurers attacked, and, when it seemed that the sorcerous pteranodon was doomed, Abtazri burst out of the brush to dispatch them.

Xeraz the Vicious. Less fortunate was Xeraz, whose raptor pack was murdered by ambitious adventurers searching for a mystic artifact. The power unlocked by the relic enchanted the dinosaur instead, and he followed the murderers to their camp, first silently dispatching their scout before killing the remainder in their sleep. Abtazri and Kadderia arrived in the morning too late to prevent the massacre, finding instead their final and sneakiest companion.
