    "Rise of the Decayed" is my third SAURIA film. It combines four of my absolute favorite things; nature, dinosaurs, horror films, and HP. Lovecraft.
    I was actually a little worried what people would think of this installment but the response has been fantastically postive. Thank you all! Hope you guys enjoy watching the film as much as I enjoyed making it! :D

    I know that this will conclude the initial burst of films you had planned, but please do not stop working on this world. It’s such a great concept and you have done an amazing job getting us invested in this world. From war, wildlife, and magic, you truly created something special
    Edit: I should clarify that you shouldn’t abandon this world, not that I want you to work it to death. I don’t care if it’s further animations, lore videos, or even you just brainstorming your thoughts on sauria. It’s such a fantastic setting that I’d be happy with just about anything. But, of course, do not force something if it’s not there. If you feel comfortable with ending the world of sauria here I’d be a little sad but happy that you got to share this world with us.
    Whatever you end up doing, please know that we will support you

      Sauria could easily become a long running series like Autodale. Also David could make a killing merchandising his animations with stuff like posters, stickers, miniatures, figurines, mouse pads, and art books. A lot of folks would wand to decorate there place with a figurine of an Eldritch dinosaur god.

I still remember when you first told me about the factions, locations, and concepts, it's amazing to see that vision come true in such a spectacular way. Thanks again for the opportunity to work with you and can't wait to see what you create next.

      The real horror of these higher beings is how they view us.
      We, whether we want to or not, define ourselves the way others view us. If a general sees us as a pawn it's hard not to view ourselves as that.
      When confronted by this intelligence, this powerful entity that sees us as insignificant specks, we take on that identity, lessening our own sense of being from simply being observed. The moment we believe it is when we doom ourselves to be unable to rise above it, defeated with the very acknowledgement of own our existence in their eyes.

    I love the detail of the captain watching the sacrifice about to happen with his blind eye. You see the glow in the eye without understanding what it means and probably missing it because you're focused on whats happening. And when its revealed he's already been enthralled, you realize he probably didn't need his eyes to know what was going on.

    There’s something horrifying that I realized about the eyes of the Blue Song members after they see this god. They’re the same as The Chancellor’s eyes. Has she perhaps seen this god before, and thus gained so much knowledge about Sauria? Due to not exactly knowing whether this god can control these beings or not through those eyes is what’s making me wonder.

      Might be why the knowledge of the Decayed is the Blue Song's "One and Only Secret". The part where the Captain asks to see their hands... The Chancellor wears gloves. I think to be controlled by the god or to survive it the mark must be on one's body. And the Captain's mark has a small adjustment to it..

      And the thing is, if somebody would force me to choose which one is better, I couldn't choose between the two (and maybe I'd choose Sauria). And I am a huge Genndy Tartakovsky fan ever since the first episode of Dexter's Laboratory aired. I love Primal.
      But man, David James Armsby is exceptionally good! All of his series and stand alone shorts. Dinosauria is an exceptional paleo documentary, and Sauria is an exceptional swords and sorcery anachronistic paleo fantasy. Or at least I call it that.
      [Adult Swim] or NETFLIX or Amazon or even Disney+ should contact him!
      (iF they offer him free reign, I don't have trust in Disney at all in this regard.)

    Amazingly horrifying and beautiful as usual! I love when magic is an mysterious and ancient power, not a common thing, and this fits that so well.
    Upon a second watch, I realized what the chief is saying is not just that he's been possessed, but that the god easily broke his mind, but is using actual effort to make him keep his will. It was hard to tell the first time, but he is speaking as himself, not the god, simply for its amusement. I'm guessing the reason his hand has the second small eye, is because that is his old mind while the large is the god's. It also links up to the two circular landforms of the map at 7:58 which is interesting.

    What shocked me most in the eldritch tale was not the force taking over the bodies or even the Fell (I think that is what they were called) being the fallen precursors of the Bluesong, no, it was hearing Bluesong talk in a way understandable for the viewers. In previous episodes the great civilization moving into the savage lands of Sauria was only shown from an outsider's perspective. But not so this time. This time we accompany them to witness the horrors of this swamp.

      I can't remember the name of the adventure (I wanna say "Valley of the Dead"), but I play a solo campaign; I'm a high elf ranger with a war horse, a wolf, and an NPC human wizard bestie.
      The gist of the adventure is that a Black Dragon necromancer has taken residence in a valley, and is reanimating the fossilized dinosaurs to use as her army to take over the world. You (and your party if you have one) are going to stop her conquest.
      When I played it, I used "Animal Friendship" on an Allosaurus, named him Big Al, and then rode him at 4x my normal speed as my NPC party and I killed dinos! I had to modify the (legendary) boss fight a little, since I'm the only player, but after I won the fight, I found the dragon's lair-- and her egg, ready to hatch!
      So now I have a cute baby, ankle biting black dragon friend named Obsidia! I use the stats for a typical baby black dragon, and have added her normal dragon magic as sorcerer class features. She tries to be helpful, but really, she just wants people to give her shiny coins!

      I had my players, including someone who sold part of their soul to be half dinosaur, an elf turned into a Carboniferous scale tree, and a sapient raccoon, travel through each layer to escape, facing different Saurians and eldritch beings as they went further down. Eventually, they sank into the primordial soup, and faced an elder god, the embodiment of the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA).

    Jokes aside, this was phenomenal as always. Horror is very much NOT one of my things, but this was still great.

    This was amazing, very dark crystal like with the corrupting and darkness spreading. Can’t wait to see more from this series

    Wow, wow, just WOW! The third and final film of this wonderful series was so awesome to watch! The concept of being dead, but technically still alive while also being controlled is a scary but oddly entertaining one. Not only that, but pairing it with dinosaurs and just an all around horror aura in general made it that much cooler. The worldbuilding, characters, concept and overall unfolding of SAURIA has been amazing to see. Wonderful job on all three films, truly fantastic!!

    Absolutely amazing film, I love how the incorporation of magic was done as something forbidden and cursed, really unnerving film.
