Genshin Impact Natlan teaser shows 3 types of Saurians, a native species

Genshin Impact aims to introduce a unique environment with the upcoming Natlan region. The latest teaser trailer showcases the distinctive terrain and geological features alongside a native species, called Saurians.

According to the lore, Saurians are dragons that have undergone years of evolution and now live alongside human beings. They are capable of breathing fire and boast remarkable abilities. The natives in the region have formed such a bond with these dragons that oftentimes Natlan's warriors dress like their Saurian companions.

The teaser trailer revealed that there are six different types of Saurians living in the region, and each one of them is associated with the six tribes of Natlan. The developers have revealed the design and abilities of three types of Saurians, while potentially hinting at the fourth kind.

Let's look at all the revealed Saurians from Genshin Impact:

1) Geo Saurians (Tepetlisaur)

The brown-colored Geo Saurians, called Tepetlisaurs, are the first ones we see in the new teaser trailer and these are associated with the Children of Echoes tribe. According to Ranjit, they feature particular characteristics such as round eyes and round bellies. Moreover, they have pointy drill-like heads and can dive and travel underground.

The green-colored Dendro Saurians are the last ones we get a glimpse at and they are associated with the Scions of the Canopy tribe. It appears they represent the theme of nature and can conjure vines that can grab fruits and allow them to zip distances. Their travel mechanic is quite similar to the Four-Leaf Sigil exploration mechanic found in the Sumeru region.
