Hexoatl Monsters & Beasts

The Shredder of Lustria (Dread Saurian)

The Dread Saurian is the largest, most powerful and most feared predator living on the Lustrian continent; an echo of ancient days when huge beasts did battle with the Dragons’ ancestors for supremacy. Immense creatures, larger even than the towering Carnosaur, and perhaps even more powerful than the titanic Thunder Lizard, Dread Saurians are few in number and therefore sacred to the Lizardmen. The fury of each one prowling the fetid jungles is moderated only by the arcane power generated from its ornate ceremonial armour. Without this precaution, even the power of the Slann cannot not hold the Dread Saurians back, once unleashed.

Abilities

• Dread Aversion
  When you're up to your neck in corpses - and perhaps not all of them are properly dead - it's useful to be able to suppress your natural feelings of fear and dread.
  Leadership -8
• Primal Instincts
  When under pressure, the primal instincts of these natural predators take over - they may then go on a rampage against nearby enemy units, attacking the closest one and ignoring any orders given.
  Charge Bonus x 115%
  Melee Attack +10
  [[img:ui/Battle UI/ability_icons/resistance_physical.png]] Physical Resistance +5
• Wounds
  Even the greatest foes can be laid low with terrible injuries, and the greater the damage done, the less able they will be to effectively continue the fray.
  Speed x 90%
  Armour-Piercing Weapon Damage x 80%
  Base Weapon Damage x 80%

Attributes

• Causes Fear
  This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack.
• Causes Terror
  This unit can cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and fear themselves.
• Encourage
  This unit provides a leadership bonus to nearby allies. Units within range of both the Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.
• Fire Whilst Moving
  This unit can fire while on the move.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Armoured
  Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
• Causes Terror
  This unit can [[img:ui/battle ui/ability_icons/causes_terror.png]]cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and [[img:ui/battle ui/ability_icons/causes_fear.png]]fear themselves.
• Armour-Piercing
  The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
• Fire whilst moving
  This unit can fire while on the move.
