The Archosaurians (singular: Archosauria), alternatively Adakrys (both singular and plural),[1] are an Ancient race in the world of Arknights.

Description

Archosaurians/Adakrys have the traits of crocodilians, which can be seen from the shape of their scaly tails. They also have long, pointed ears similar to the Sarkaz. Some Archosaurians also have scales on their body.

Nearly all known male Archosaurians are anthropomorphic, while all female Archosaurians are humanoid, which suggests that sexual dimorphism is prominent within the race.

Etymology

The former, Archosauria, is a scientific name referring to the clade of reptiles that groups birds, crocodiles, and non-avian dinosaurs together.

For the latter, Adakrys, it is the ancient Greek word for "tearless," which is likely an opposite reference to the crocodile tears.[2][3]
