DINOSAUR GUIDE

1. Sauropods
Order Saurischia
Wiki link

Long neck is loooong. Generally found in the late jurassic period, sauropods can be considered the evolutionary apex of the big grazer; they're adapted so far towards their environment they're basically big old eating machines, like blue whales of the land. They're so big they have colonies of bats and shit living on their backs. Ponderous, majestic, WELL FAT. Some have whiplash tails with which to whip people.

FAMOUS EXAMPLES: Diplodocus, Brachiosaurus, Little Foot

2. Dromeosaurid
Order Saurischia
Wiki link

Subfamily of therapod family, dromeosaurids were small, fast and intelligent carnivores, pack hunters that advanced further towards birds - what we presume was the next stage of evolution - than any other dinosaur. In fact it was these species and their birdlike frames, their swift, manipulating claws, that helped kindle the modern conception of dinosaurs as active animals rather than sluggish lizards. Warning: may come with feathers.

FAMOUS EXAMPLES: Utahraptor, Deinonychus, Raptor Red

3. Thyreophora
Order Ornithischia
Wiki link

Clankety-clank, clankety clank, ankylosaurus was built like a tank. These are armoured dinosaurs. Generally found throughout the cretacious period, these well 'ard 'erbivores hugged the ground under the heavy protection of their armour plating, and many of them carried lethal weapons on their tails. Earlier versions such as the stegosaurids were not that well armoured but did look pretty with all those sails on their backs.

FAMOUS EXAMPLES: Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus, T-34


4. Ornithopod
Order Ornithischia
Wiki link

The most common type of dinosaurs to be seen in the cretacious period, this family of variously bird-hipped herbivores and omnivores started out as small running plain-dwellers and eventually multiplied into great and successful animals which dominated the north american landscape. Advanced forms of the hadrosaurids or duck-bills developed highly advanced chewing apperatus and were able to run on two legs, walk on four.
FAMOUS EXAMPLES: Corythosaurus, Gallimimus, Iguanadon, Ducky

5. Ceratopsia
Order Ornithischia
Wiki link

Squat little fat bastards with really strong jaw muscles for chewing, plus the distinctive and usual frill structure (often accompanied by horns as in Triceratops). Originally small bipedal creatures, the Ceratoppers soon got big and nasty and were the natural enemies of the T-Rex in like every film ever.

FAMOUS EXAMPLES: Microceratops, Triceratops, Dino Tricera

6. Pachycephalosaurid
Order Ornithischia
Wiki link

Bizarro bipedal herbivore that headbutts people and will GIE YER A GLASWEGIAN KESS

FAMOUS EXAMPLES: Pachycephalosaurus tbh

7. Carnosaurid
Order Saurischia
Wiki link

Badass. Bipedal carnivores living throughout the jurassic and cretaceious periods who made their living by ambushing and beating up other dinosaurs then nicking their tasty tasty meats. The gangsters of the prehistoric world. Big teeth. Big skull. Sharks on legs. Contains the largest carnivores.

FAMOUS EXAMPLES: Allosaurus, Gigantisaorus, Dino Tricera

8. Tyrannosaurid
Order Saurischia
Wiki link

It's the king.

FAMOUS EXAMPLES: T-Rex from Jurassic Park, T-Rex from Dinosaur Comics, Sharp Tooth

9. Non-dinosaurs
These you have to work out for yourself; there were a variety of non-dinosaur reptilian animals that were well adapted to flight or swimming, from tiny lizard sparrows to majestic organic airliners, from fish-eating icthyosaurs to truly gargantuan monsters of the deep.

FAMOUS EXAMPLES: Icthyosaurus, Pteranodon, Peetree

9. Other
Order ???

[DEATHMASTER]

Megalodon

 

[Barnz]

Velociraptor, because it's fast and carnivorous.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Sulk said you have to explain WHY as well you dinosaur brained fools.

I'd be a triceratops every day of the week. Being a herbavore first means food was in abundance and you didn't need to go chasing after it. Secondly, there has been much talk over the T-rex vs Triceratops fight and who would win. Apparently it was a very close run thing, if the 'top got it's horns into the belly of the T-rex with an unexpected charge, he could pierce a lung or more and win. So my second reason would be awesome defence / offense.

And they drop one hell of a huge pile of shit in Jeff Goldblum's face.

 

[Asknoone]

Velociraptor, because Jurassic Park says they act, look and are awesome.

 

[cheddarrr]

carnosaur! top of the food chain is where i like to spend my days.

 

[repiV]

I'd be Prince Charles.

In contrast to his contemporaries, he was actually able to run a farm, and sell his organic produce to other dinosaurs.
So he doesn't need to hunt for food and expose himself to danger, AND he can exchange his quality goods for risk-free meat.

It would take one hell of a Stegosaurus to compete with that.

 

[Stigmata]

On the one hand, velociraptors are the most badass of the dinosaurs.

On the other hand, the Sauropods are huge, awesome, and have colonies of bats on them.

I can't decide!

 

[Darkside55]

Ankylosaurus had a tail made of hardened bone. It used this tail club to smash the bones of predators to powder.

That's the "why."

 

[Llama]

Velociraptors were only as large as turkeys.

Those using Jurassic Park as a guide, gtfo now

 

[Stigmata]

Brontosaurus it is.

 

[Mr Stabby]

a dinosaur similar to a velociraptor, but it had a giant claw on it's hands rather than it's feet, can't remember it's name.

 

[MJ12]

I am a Utahraptor, simply because I act like one, I make their sounds accurately, I sometimes run like them, I pounce on people when attacking them, when eating meat I eat it as they do (but not raw). And I am a fairly tall person, so that would make me a Utahraptor rather than a veloci.

 

[Nemesis6]

I don't care if it's not a dinosaur, pterodactyl hands down.

 

[Krynn72]

Pachycephalosaurus because I saw one headbutt a guy through a car in Jurassic Park.


DO WANT.

 

[Slug Advisor]

And I am a fairly tall person, so that would make me a Utahraptor rather than a veloci.

I am actually an extremely small man. Not a miget, just a small man, about the size of a cat.

Well, your physique sounds inconsistent.

 

[Krynn72]

Well, your physique sounds inconsistent.

You didnt know that ZT was amorphous?

 

[delusional]

Spike from Land Before Time.

cuz i like food and I'm quiet.

 

[Pressure]

I'd be a Sauropod because I wanna be like little neck.

 

[Slug Advisor]

You didnt know that ZT was amorphous?

Wel why would he be a Utahraptor then? He should be, like, a Megamorph or something.

Glenn knows where it's at.

 

[_Z_Ryuken]

Dromaeosaurid - Saurornitholestes

Small but not too small, light, agile, something of a nuisance to larger predators.

Sounds like me.

 

[Raziaar]

I'd be an ankylosaurus.

 

[simonjedi]

basically this ^

 

[Pesmerga]

I'd be a cockroach or some shit.

 

[Lokizen]

Hadrosaurid , because no-one else is!

Edit: forgot the word is...

 

[Saturos]

The first thing that came to mind was "armoured bastard" because of my iron-stubborn will. I never give up. I'm quite durable. Both physically, and mentally/spiritually.

Specifically, that one armoured dinosaur with the clubbed tail. I forgot what it's called though. I'm not a dino paleontologist or anything.

 

[Que-Ever]

hadrosaurs and ornithicithisaurs are different.

Anyway, I'd be a pachycephalosaurus. because they're awr-some. And he has phalo in his name.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Deinonychus, cause he rips your shit up.

Pachy would be a close second, except finding a mate would be a ****ing pain (maybe).

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Amoured bastard.

 

[French Ninja]

Lets get some mother****ing Parasaurolophus love in here.

[Sulkdodds]

I can't decide.

If you had to be a dinosaur? You make it sound like a bad thing. RACIST

I'm already a Utahraptor and I feel pretty oppressed right now.

I was trying to safegurad against annoying people going "i'd be a human lol". Dinosaurs are great but there is always someone.

 

[Eejit]

Goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus. Because in Predator they use miniguns, also they look human. And are sexual.

 

[Pulse]

Probably have to be a flying/swimming beast so I could crap on T-rex's from a great height. I'd be such a troll of a dinosaur.

Given any other choice however, I'd be a mother ****ing Mastodon.

 

[Cavalry]

I stab those all night long in Turok. Guess I don't love them.

 

[evil^milk]

I?d be the fossil.

Fossil fuel ftw.
