**Sauria the Pachycephalosaurus** is a fan character designed by Frostbite Carno. Sauria resides in *The Isle* universe.

Sauria is a subadult Pachycephalosaurus who doesn't look much like a pachycephalosaurus. He is doing his best to survive and adapt to the harsh and unforgiving world of The Isle.

## Biography

Sauria hatched and grew up in a mixed herd consisting of Tenontos, Stegos, Kentros, Dryos, Hypsis, and avas, and had a pretty normal life until, well-

Sauria is something of a confused character that, despite being a herbivore and raised to be such, begins developing a taste for meat after eating part of an avaceratops carcass out of morbid curiosity, but then realized meat actually tastes pretty good. and from that point on, Sauria hasbeen an outcast by his herdmates and exiled.

## Appearance

Sauria is a Neotenic (Not to be confused with Neurotenic) individual, but we'll get to that.

Sauria is a lightly built pachycephalosaurus with a large row of long spikes on the back of his head, which is a trait usually associated with juveniles, but Sauria seems to be carrying it over to adulthood, demonstrating what is known as neoteny. The spikes running down his spine are also more pronounced than in most individuals.

Sauria is golden orangish brown with a much darker underbelly, and the rest of his body is covered in whitish tan spots reminiscent of those seen on deer fawns. On his head he has a streak of his base color behind his eye in-between his patterns, which is typical of Isle Pachys. This light white-tan color covers his feet and goes up until his ankles, dispersing into speckles. His dome and the stripes at the tip of his tail are bright orange. His golden brownish orange coloring has a faint green tint. He has horizontal pupils and his eyes are bright blue.

## Trivia

* Sauria's themes are Who Killed The Avaceratops? (Instrumental)**,** Not One Of Us (Both original and instrumental), X Gon Give it To Ya (instrumental)**,** Hell Creek, Resolutions - Scott Buckley**,** & “In Dreams” – also Scott Buckley,
* Sauria's design was heavily inspired by the pachy from Dinosauria. And his name is even a reference to it, "Sauria"
* The character Sauria was also partly inspired by this kickass artwork of a group of pachys by Scaly Neighbor I found.
* In The Isle, pachys are classified as, and are, herbivores. The real pachycephalosaurus was known to be an omnivore back in the Mesozoic Era. So I figured that's true in the universe of The Isle too, even if some part of the cloning and genome gap-filling process resulted in these pachys being 100% herbivorous. Sauria shows some behavioral traits from his Mesozoic ancestors that are not seen in his parents and other members of his species, but apparently still remain in their genome regardless of all the tampering by humans. This just happens to be the combination Sauria got.
