The Shredder of Lustria (Dread Saurian)

is a Regiments of Renown monster unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Hunter and the Beast.
== Recruitment ==
* Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel
== Description ==
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 foetid jungles is moderated only by the arcane power generated from its ornate ceremonial armour. Without this precaution, even the power of the Slann cannot hold the Dread Saurians back, once unleashed.

== Strategy ==
If the Dread Saurians were already monstrous destroyers, the Shredder of Lustria is an even bigger one. With the usual veterency melee stat buffs, a leadership debuff around itself, and the ability to encourage, there are few things that can stand against the Shredder for very long. That being said, this is a ridiculously expensive unit that can demolish anything in its way, at the expense of the rest of your army being weaker (Multiplayer at least). It is best to support the Shredder with healing magic and abilities that can keep its leadership up so it cannot be broken off the battlefield.
