DAILY SAURIAN FUN FACTS!

Koholasaurs are able to adapt to all kinds of environments. From cold and salty ocean water to magma-like liquid Phlogiston, they can swim in it all! How impressive is that?

The Survivors by Marrion Zimmer Bradley

I just read the rest of it, not in one sitting mind you, but over the course of the last couple of days, in very small installments. That's why I haven't made a daily post about it, because I was getting through it at a snails pace.

The book was bad, I didn't like it, there were some exciting moments sure but, so much of it was bad and the ending did not help anything. Oh My Goddess let me tell you how the ending really ruined it. I really don't know why she wrote this, I don't know why she did it, It was already resolved, that mystery was answered, finding a way to answer it in the worst possible was only served to upset me. They fought a Kirgon, something introduced for like, ten pages maybe, and after beating it and also the head Spearman from the village they bunkered down in, She decided to write in, "oh yeah, plus the mysterious other white Saurian that was mentioned before and was given an answer already that's satisfying and answers questions you had, let's ruin that." so instead of just having the albino Saurian race being an underground species, which would have been FINE and made a nice little bow on that topic, turns out it's not so simple. In fact, the white saurian race has independently evolved over like a billion years while underground to have fucking teleportation, telekinesis, telepathy, super science, super medicine, and just survive entirely underground for (checks notes) like a billion fucking years and not only that that race gets defeated steven universe style and changes their mind based on 1 paragraph from a child.

Do you want to know how late in the book that happened? Do you want to know? The white Saurian thing takes over at page 220, the book ends on page 238. fucking major whiplash of the sandpaper degree right there. Fucking hell, while the first one was fun this sequel just feels awful and soulless. Dane this time around also has constant jealous misogynistic thoughts that are just so fucking cruel and stupid. Really just making his character this walking jealous over a fucking child manbaby was the worst choice.

Qucusaurs, despite their bright red coloration, are the descendants of Anemo Vishaps and thus, related to the dragon Dvalin in Mondstadt! How cool is that?

Long-Necked Rhinos are not Saurians, despite many locals saying this. We would just like to clarify that since we overheard a young hero saying Toto is a Saurian when he is not.

Some Yumkasaur Whelps, when wary about new people, will only observe the stranger rather than intimidate them. How kind!

DAILY SAURIAN FUN FACT!

Tepetlisaur eyelids move horizontally, unlike human eyelids which move vertically. This helps them dig safely by ensuring that they don't get dirt in their eyes. Our photographer got this footage of a Tepetlisaur Whelp drifting off to sleep that demonstrates this eyelid oddity!
