Saurians (Earth-992)

The Saurians, also known as Zaterrans or simply Raptors, are a humanoid raptor-like species native to what was once Zaterra.

History
The Saurians were a result of various experiments by Shang Tsung in the Flesh Pits to create new soldiers, using preserved deinonychus DNA taken from Earthrealm. At first, they proved to be very loyal and were trained in various martial arts to become soldiers like Tsung intended them to. Unfortunately, their intelligence grew to the point where they wanted to rebel against their master for training them to go to war.

Believing the experiment was a failure, Tsung sent them to Earthrealm, where they created a new civilization with a matriarchal society.
