Saurials are a rare breed of Scalykind - specifically a Sauroid race descended from dinosaur-like creatures - not native to Toril. Several sub-races exist, though only four can be found on Toril itself. Unlike reptiles, Saurials are not cold-blooded. Elminster convinced the saurials to restore what Moander had forced them to destroy and the Lost Vale was turned into a permanent settlement as a result.
