Completing the Lost in the Woods quest also gives you the Reaffirmed Accord of Appellation, which enables you to rename 'Little One' if you have changed your mind. Like Wanderer's renaming, you can choose any names as long as it does not violate the rules.

Note that the game specifies that you can only name your Saurian up to a certain limit.

The Traveler can also "transform" into a Saurian by interacting with Saurian Spiritsconces—sigils found all over the Natlan region that symbolize a Saurian type.

These sigils are common around time challenges involving terrains that can be utilized by a specific Saurian ability.

Needs Phlogiston to Use Abilities
