Headstrong

Headstrong: Constant revivals of the species would be useless without lessons to learn. This is where the Headstrong come in. Their uniquely dense skulls provide an excellent storage method for information. Living headstrong are great scientists who defend the saurial archives. They notate all the findings, history, and new discoveries made in their lifetime. And if the saurial race dies again, constructs go out to collect the heads of the deceased, and use necromantic magic to turn them into a living server of sorts, which is then connected back to the saurial archives. Headstrong skulls are particularly suited for this.

Appearance: Headstrong saurials are based on dinosaurs with thick skulls. This includes ceratopsids, such as triceratops, and pachycephalosaurs. Headstrong who are religious or want to be fashionable often add decorations to their skulls such as rings, metal adornments, or paints and tattoos.
