Sauria | |
| Sauria (Web Animation) | comment |
Sauria is a three-part Anthology series created by animator David James Armsby, hot off the success of Dinosauria. Little is known about it so far, but what is known is that it takes place in a Dark Fantasy setting dominated by both sapient humanoid reptiles and a variety of prehistoric wildlife. As seen in the trailers, the many factions are at war, and every day is a fight for survival.The official trailer was released in March of 2023, with the first episode, "Blood for Blood", being released on Patreon in July of that month. It became publically available on August 11, 2023. The second episode, "Winter Weathered", was released on April 5, 2024. | |

Dying Race | |
| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_1044a759 | comment |
Dying Race: The Arctic Saurians are the oldest of the races in Sauria and were once scattered across the continent. But between their reclusive and isolationist nature and the wars of the other tribes, they have been driven further north and become rare enough to be treated as almost mythical figures. | |

| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_11e0d645 | comment |
Arc Symbol: The helix in "Winter Weathered", placed on Helionyx's home, the empty sheath of his son's knife, and the shoulders of the grown cub. It's not until the end that it's revealed that it means the helix of life and death, fitting the episode's themes. | |

Noble Savage | |
| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_121865ac | comment |
Noble Savage: The brutish Kindred of the Tusk are fighting to protect and save their home from getting taken over by the Bluesong. Helionyx, the Arctic Saurian, is a hunter living in harmony with nature, only killing what he needs to survive. Of course, his case is more complex as his desire for revenge battles with and briefly overcomes his religious convictions, although he deeply regrets it. | |

Artistic License – Biology: Given the time passed, it's highly unlikely that the knife in the Smilodon's shoulder would still be bleeding when she and Helionyx cross paths, but the dripping blood is what draws Helionyx's attention and his anger. | |

The Cameo | |
| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: In "Winter Weathered", a group of Bluesong warriors, on Parasaurolophus walk by as Helionyx is hiding in the bushes, but unlike in "Blood for Blood", they play no role in the story. There's also a brief shot of two dead Kindred in the snow. The Troodon from Dinosauria makes a brief appearance in "Winter Weathered", looking over the bodies of dead poachers. A nanuqsaurus also appears in the beginning stealing Helionyx's kill, but it is a different model from Dinosauria. | |

Team Switzerland | |
| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_1d1b3c81 | comment |
Team Switzerland: While the Bluesong, the Kindred of The Tusk, and the Fell are all part of the war for Sauria, Arctic Saurians aren't politically united and want nothing to do with the conflict, preferring to hide away in the remaining wilds even as their people die out. Helionyx is unusually proactive in that he kills Kindred poachers to protect his home. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: The lore video about the Kindred of the Tusk reveals Taurox likes to breed Carnotaurus in his spare time, hinting a more gentle side in his otherwise ruthless character. It's even more reinforced by the borderline-brotherly bond shared between him and his former steed, a Carnotaurus named The Bull. | |

| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: What ends up being a part of Taurox's gambit after he's locked up in a gladiatorial arena by the Bluesong Empire instead of just being killed. All in the name of dying "fairly". Due to how seriously outclassed the Bluesong are, all they really end up doing is just send their best warriors to die to him. | |

| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_4c4bebf4 | comment |
Artistic License – Paleontology: Downplayed and deliberate. While there's obviously no way to make the Saurians accurate, as dinosaur people never existed, the Tusk barbarians' design draws from outdated paleoart to fit their "older and more primitive" look, while the Bluesong use more current designs as their inspiration to fit their refined and advanced empire. | |

Amusingly, the creatures that live in their domains follow the same principle (though Word of God notes that the Bluesong's animals weren't always this way). | |

Animal Nemesis | |
| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_9a42558d | comment |
Animal Nemesis: "Winter Weathered" is a deconstruction of this, as Helionyx knows full well that the animal who killed his son can't be blamed for it, but it does nothing to help his grief and rage. When he finds the beast, he gives in to his anger and kills it, only to be overcome with remorse at seeing her die and orphaning her cub. He promises to raise the cub himself, which finally gives him closure for his son's death. | |

Long-Lived: The Arctic Saurians have sparked numerous stories because of this. While Helionix is around 350 himself, sightings of his now deceased father are believed to have inspired legends of an impossibly old Arctic Saurian that knew the founders of all the major tribes and witnessed the rise and fall of the empire of the extinct pterosaurian Forefathers. | |

Lizard Folk: The Solisaurians are a barbarian species who has two subspecies, one resembling a Ceratosaurus and another looking similar to a Carnotaurus. The trailers also include the pterosaur-like Fell. This is averted with the Avisaurians, who look more like Bird People, and the Arctic Saurians downplay this trope, having both reptilian and mammalian characteristics. | |

My God, What Have I Done? | |
| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_a1b141f4 | comment |
My God, What Have I Done?: Helionyx breaks down in horror when he realizes that his desire for vengeance drove him to kill the Smilodon that ate his son, forsaking his usual respect for Sauria's wildlife in the process. To atone, he adopts the predator's orphaned cub. | |

The Beautiful Elite: How the Bluesong Empire seems to present itself, with their elegant forms and society in contrast with their more primitive and war-ready enemies, the Kindred of the Tusk. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: The Bluesong are seeking Arctic Saurians in the hope that they'll be able to tell them more about the Forefathers, who the Bluesong see themselves as the successors to. What they don't realize is that their expansion is driving the already isolated and reclusive Arctic Saurians even farther apart and driving them extinct. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: The Kindred of the Tusk are a tribe of savage ceratosaur/carnotaur-like barbarians and pirates feared across the land of Sauria for their brutality and violent ways. However, as revealed in the first entry of the lore of Sauria, their ferocity and rebellious behavior make them the prime opposite of the despotic Bluesong Empire, causing many to label them as heroes against the oppression of those who want to conquer Sauria. | |

Ape Shall Never Kill Ape | |

Ape Shall Never Kill Ape: Despite being quite brutal towards other sapient races, the Kindred of the Tusk has one holy rule that is considered an unforgivable sin to break: No killing your own. | |

| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_cf1ae715 | comment |
Mother Goddess/Mother Nature: The Great Maia, referred to by her worshippers as the "mother of Sauria" and the one that maintains the helix of life and death. She has followers in many nations, but Arctic Saurians are particularly devout, and part of Helionyx's story is his Crisis of Faith about her worship. | |

Monster Is a Mommy: In "Winter Weathered", the Smilodon who killed Helionyx's son is a parent itself, with a small cub. After killing the parent in a vengeful rage, Helionyx quickly regrets what he did even before seeing the cub, and decides to adopt and raise it. | |

Mix-and-Match Critters | |
| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_f5eda11 | comment |
Mix-and-Match Critters: Saurians are a mix between human, dinosaur, and occasionally other influences. The Bluesong Empire looks like a cross between raptor and ornithomimid dinosaurs. Some of them also have antlers. The Tusk appear to be humanoid Ceratosaurus, and the subspecies Taurox belongs to look like humanoid Carnotaurus. Arctic Saurians are primarily based on therapods, but they also have mammalian features to match the wildlife of their home, including fur, eyebrows, and horns. | |

How the Mighty Have Fallen | |
| Sauria (Web Animation) / int_f933e594 | comment |
How the Mighty Have Fallen: Taurox used to be his tribe's greatest War Chief before getting defeated and captured to fight in a gladiator arena. This turns out to be a subversion, as he got himself imprisoned on purpose so that he could destroy the empire's finest warriors from the inside. | |
