The inhabitants of the warlike kingdom of Natlan live side by side with the Saurians, descended from dragons. In the adventure, the first tribe for the Traveler will be the Geo clan of the Children of Echoes, where he will be able to acquire his own little Tepetlisaur. Think carefully and give the baby a new amazing name in Genshin Impact, as it will remain with the dragon assistant throughout their journey together.
In this guide, we’ll explain whether it’s possible to change the name of the Tepetlisaurus companion and what limitations it has, as well as share nickname options for the earth dragon and Paimon’s reaction to them.
How to name a baby Tepetlisaurus in Genshin Impact
Upon arrival in Natlan, the quest “Lost Children of the Forest” from the “Between Promise and Oblivion” series will begin, where you will defeat the Hounds of the Rift and meet the Dying Beast. Then, free a special Tepetlisaurus cub, which will accompany the Traveler in stories and important quests. When you first meet him, tie a silk band around his tail and give him a name.
There are a number of restrictions on what you can name a baby Tepetlizaur:
The names of playable characters (Amber, Lisa, etc.), code and regular names of the Harbingers of Fatui (Tartaglia, Childe, Pierrot, Capitano, etc.), demonic names of Archons (Morax, Barbatos, Buer, Kusanali, Rukkhadevata), as well as “Traveler” and “Paimon” are not suitable. This list also includes announced heroes, such as Dainsleif. The word must not violate the user agreement – obscene language, discrimination, bullying, insults and the like are prohibited. The nickname cannot include spaces. The name for the saurian companion must be no longer than 7 characters in the Russian layout. In English, their limit is higher, you can also take hieroglyphs.
There are a limited number of times you can change your nickname, so choose wisely.
Can you get banned for a name for a zavrian?
There is no exact information about the risk of a ban, but there is a one-time incident with the name of the Wanderer. One Chinese user called him “Gilgamesh” (after the Sumerian ruler), as a result of which he received a warning on the in-game mail, since this word for some reason violated the rules. The character’s name was renamed automatically, but in case of repeated violations the account may be permanently blocked.
On the European server, such cases were not announced. It is possible that the system automatically responded to a part of the word. If we take the in-game chat as an example, sometimes completely ordinary words are censored because of something indecent, like their parts.
How to use the Confirmed Naming Convention
You can only change your Saurian’s name once using the Confirmed Naming Convention item, which is awarded for completing the mission “Lost Children of the Forest”. To rename your dragon, go to your Inventory and open the “Jewelry” page, where you will see the item you are looking for. Use it, then come up with a new nickname for your companion.
How long will it take to change the name of the baby tepetlizaur
The Zavrian name change may not happen immediately, so sometimes you need to wait for a new day according to the server time (6:00 in Europe and 23:00 in Asia according to Moscow time).
Where the new name will be displayed
Baby Zavrian should run next to the active hero and take part in battles. Therefore, the name of the Tepetlizaur will be constantly displayed above him, and it will also be mentioned in dialogues in various tasks with his participation.
Instead of the usual soul-infusion into the Saurians, you will be able to switch to the baby’s perspective during the journey. This will be required to complete some puzzles and challenges.
How many times can you change your baby’s name?
The name of the little friend can only be changed once after it has been issued, by spending a Confirmed Naming Convention. Think carefully about the name of your travel companion.
What name to give a baby zavrian: top interesting nicknames
Tepetlisaurs are a species of small dragons native to the Geo Tribe. The baby saurian is smaller than other members of its species and resembles a Geovishap. It has the ability to burrow into the ground, and its design features crystals and earth colors.
The name of the zavrian can be beautiful, humorous, with some meaning, in honor of a favorite hero or something memorable. So, because of the color, the cub reminded Paimon of pancakes. The exceptions do not include game items, enemies and NPCs, so it is possible to name it at least by a word from the artifact set, or look for something in books.

Baby’s reaction to the choice of some names
When trying to choose some names, Paimon and the little friend will react to them in a special way. Zavrian will only growl, so his phrases do not carry any meaning, unlike the second companion.
“He doesn’t look like he’ll have it easy with that name… Let’s not call him that!” – The name or codenames of the Fatui Harbingers. “No, that name doesn’t work!” – The names of game characters or the demonic names of the Archons. “That’s a great name! It has a powerful feel to it!” – When trying to choose the name of an existing dragon (Durin, Dwalin, Azhdaha, Apep, Scylla, Ursa, Elinas, Nibelung) or “Xbalanque”, “Xiuhcoatl” from Natlan. “Hm… That’s not a bad name either. And Paimon came up with it! Hee hee!” – Unknown. “Hm? So when Paimon suggested “Pancake” you didn’t like it, but when the traveler suggested the same thing, the baby was happy? Okay, okay. Paimon won’t be mad at you.” – If you want to call him “Pancake” and suggest it yourself. “What are you saying? “Do you want to name him after yourself?” – when choosing the name Traveler (the player’s profile name) for the baby.
The exact list of words suitable for reactions will be gradually checked and expanded.
