I want more Queztalcoatlus in vidya media
sex
Lots of pterosaur fossils were found in romania, that region was an island called Hateg, and it had a bunch of unique animals there. Wouldn't it be cool if a Castlevania game or any of the other million vampire media referenced that?
>>737316451it would be cool if castlevania had an enemy that tried to steal your wallet every 10 minutes
>>737316171>Proud VAQUEANO finds Dragon bones>Jew ((((((professor))))))) states thats belong to an ugly chicken stop asking goyim!!!Many such cases.
how did those niggas had sex lamo
path of titans has the hatzegopteryx. it's not quetzalcoatlus but it comes from the same family of pterosaurs, and it's larger.
>>737316892Like birds. Girl lays egg boy cums on egg.
>>737316451no not really, especially considering that romania used to be like the seychelles back when those things flew the skies. it would completely ruin the cold dark european forest setting typically associated with vampires.
>>737316525well, curse of darkness has one of those>>737317023yeah unlike the gay looking vampires
I want more Dinopithecus in vidya media
this creature did not fucking fly and there is no sequence of words in any language that could make me think otherwise
>>737317549why not?
>>737318153Too big
>>737318153look at it
>>737316641if you don't find these guys cool that's a you problem
>>737318205>>737318269video games
>>737317549it makes sense once you find out pterosaurs had hollow-er bones than birds>I was born with glass bones and paper skin
>>737316171What if the reason the Aztecs called one of their gods Quetzacoatl is due to the fact they encountered this in the wild?
Oh wise Quetzgods, I have a queryI'm working on a lower budget survival horror game about dinos, and I want to have an area that's more open with a giant Quetzalcoatl walking around, and when it sees the player, it lumbers towards them and tries biting them like a snagret in PikminThe only way to kill it is a kind of cut scene thing where you blast it with a roof mounted rocket launcher, you can't actually kill it with the weapons you get normallyThis would be kind of like that sirenhead game where when you see it you need to get indoors to avoid dealing with it until it flies awayWhat other quetzo things should I know about this dinosaur before implementing it? I want it to be something really memorable and fun
>>737316171If dinosaurs existed still, how would humans interact with them? The same as we do other animals?
>>737319683Yeah which is why the premise of Jurassic Park always felt silly to me. Zoos with hippos and lions aren't dangerous, raptors and such wouldn't be much more dangerous imo
>>737317549Yet there are over 100 ways for calling you a fag
>>737319683Dont try to fuck the dinosaur, bro
>>737316967Came here to post this
>>737318205>why yes, I think million years ago the earth was in the exact same conditions, therefore I can extrapolate based on my immense intellect this creature could not fly, the end.>*watches anime*
>>737319760lions would be a bigger deal if they weighed 20 tons
>>737319563
>>737319639Other than the fact that Quetz was capable of leaping off the ground and taking off instantly, I don’t have any info that would wouldn’t make your game lamer. Maybe don’t forget that the arms have the strongest muscles in Quetz's body so let it deal deadly punches.
>>737316171
>>737320306Ooh the arms thing is actually a fun detail, in addition to pecking I'll have it also try to hit the player. I'm guessing it could only use one arm at a time while staying on the ground?
>>737320306punching with hollow bones sounds like a bad idea
>>737316967the pterosaur experience in PoT is much better than the constant humiliation ritual in the isle>hatzegopteryx can drop smaller dinos and babies from the stratosphere and yeet large dinos off cliffs with a wingbeat>thalassodromeus has super fast ground dodges, a high jump, and can hilariously insta kill a sleeping t.rex by lawn darting your little dude straight into it like a living hellfire missile>rhamphorhynchus is a flying spam calling rat troll that exists to make everyone and everything miserable with increased hunger drain and 5 billion status effects
>>737316525
>>737319471doesn't matter, power doesn't scale with size, those muscles wouldn't be able to flap it up for shit
How do we even know what dinosaurs looked like? Like, if we were never around elephants we would think they don’t have trunks.
>>737324329For a lot of them we aren't going just by bones, there are a lot of well preserved specimens
This never actually existed, you got tricked. Christ is King.
>>737317021pretty sure thats how fish mate
>>737319683Carnivorous and overly aggressive ones would be extinct in the wild in most of the developed world (especially near human settlements) just like a lot of other dangerous animals. I'm sure some parts of Africa would still have dangerous predators but they'd mostly be contained. Large predators would be long extinct since nobody is risking a T-Rex running into a settlement.>>737319760The main danger would just be retards jumping into the enclosure because they're mentally ill, suicidal, and/or vore fetishists which already happens with normal animals. Actual escapes would be either comparable or less dangerous than a lion (smaller stuff) or basically impossible due to security standards (and if not they'd have plenty of high calibre rifles on hand to put them down quickly).
>>737324617Why do we only ever see bones then?
>>737316171Add some elemental powers and some fancy horns and that shit goes straight into monster hunter
>>737316967>>737320894How are PoT and Isle anyway? I do prefer the more grounded/simulation style of the Isle as opposed to the more gamey PoT but from what I hear The Isle is just badly designed while PoT is a lot better.
>>737324838They're more common and iconic. The preserved feathers and that ankylosaur's corpse are only known to those who care enough to Google for them.
>>737324329as the other anone stated there are some one in a million finds that give us a real good idea of what they look like, but for most it is a case of calculated guess work but methods for it have advanced to the point you can be more accurate, such as how we can tell which bones had a lot of muscle on them due to imprints and the shape of them
>>737316171Built for vore.
>>737317313Make him twice as big, give it horns and then it's THE rape monke
>>737319802Name 10
how much longer do i have to wait until a mad scientist starts resurrecting dinos
>>737317549it hunted on the ground according to the innertnet
>>737324329Because trunks aren't flacid. And the muscles of the trunk are fixed in bones. So someone with experience is looking at these bones and claim, something must had been in that location.
>>737319563you paint a nice picture for a game of mesoamerican cultures vs dinos
>>737324329we know the exact color of some dinosaurs because they've got skin so well preserved
>>737319683We would either be absolutely fucked or we would have tamed them as we tamed wolf, horses, cows and elephants.Instead of Hannibal crossing the Alps with elephants it would be with triceratops or something like that.
>>737316281VORE
>>737325153probably a really long time since its rare for flesh in general to be imprinted into a fossil, and what little idea of the dna they had isn't really usable, in other words you will probably never see a true dino unless somebody invents a time machine
*tongue gets twisted*
>>737319683pelt them with rocks, as is our nature...
How big is just right?
>>737324329A lot of it comes down to inference. If you seen a mummified horse you could be reasonably certain that zebras and donkeys don't have a trunk based solely on their skeleton.
>>737324329I rather prefer when dinos were basically just dragon lizard
>>737325327>>737324617absolute lies. stop parroting bullshit you hear other people say. There are not collections of "well preserved" dino bodies. Nearly everything we know about them is speculation based on fossils - but even then so many of them were bullshitted together and mismatched to make a compelling news article/museum/attraction advertisement rather than having any actual scientific basis.
>>737325653t. Tom Cantor
>>737325579An osteologist can tell these things.>>737325653Exception, not the rule.
>>737325653>There are not collections of "well preserved" dino bodies. Nearly everything we know about them is speculation based on fossilsa fossil is a preserved body you dumb noncefossilizing is not exclusive to bone
Which dino is sexier, though.
>>737325153>mad scientistmore like based sicentist
>>737325865yes, and most commonly the term fossil is used to refer to bones or impressions. Other than some insects trapped in amber - preserved bodies/body parts of things are so incredibly fucking rare that they are usually called out by name and not commonly referred to as fossils. But sure, technically you are correct, but no amount of pedantry changes the fact that we don't actually have preserved dino bodies (other than that one ankylosaurus which is also so desiccated that its useless for things like coloration). The overwhelming majority "facts" we have on dinos are pure fiction from "scientists" who were seeking a bit of fame.
I just want the JP survival game to come out and not be total dogwater. I don't even care that the MC is a jeetet at all, I just want it to be scary and to actually come out.
>>737324903Both are glorified walk and wait simulators. PoT is the slightly more engaging of the two given its quest system, but it’s also rife with discord groups who sit around in cuddlepiles in the hot zones and jump anyone that comes near because they have nothing else to do. If you kill them then they swap to another Dino they have in the area to immediately try and revenge kill you to soothe their wounded egos. Also they give dinosaurs retarded abilities like campto being able to kangaroo hop and spino having an aoe claw and tail slam.
>>737325653Why are americans like this? Even religious zealots in my country are aware that evolution is real and creationism is stupid.It is because they are catholic?Geniune question.
>>737326609holy projecting batman. no one said shit about creationism, evolotion, or religion. Are you really that mind broken thats all you can think about? at no point did i say dinos didnt exist. I'm just stating the fact that most of the "knowledge" we have about them has no basis in objectivity and is based on fiction.
>>737316171Man I wish dinosaurs were still alive, it would be fun to kill them
>>737326609>It is because they are catholic?Exact opposite. They are zionist goy slave evangelicals that believe whatever whacky nonsense the preacher was taught in Seminary (dispensationalism)
>>737326609>Even religious zealots in my country are aware that evolution is real and creationism is stupid.You're both idiots, neither of those are mutually exclusive until somewhere in the early-mid 20th century. Evolution was widely accepted as the way God designed the universe rather than something in opposition to God.Same with the Big Bang theory, it was created by a Catholic priest and there were plenty of atheists at the time who rejected and derided it because it assigned a clear beginning (creation) to existence and was "obviously theological".
>>737326842Reducing the centuries old methods of paleontology and osteology to "made up bullshit" is extremely evangelical-coded.
>>737327148yes and for centuries the medical field did a lot of dumb shit that was horribly wrong. After we started tracking data, objectivity, and implementing "evidence based medicine" the field advanced centuries in the matter of a couple decades. Tradition =/= science.
>>737317549These things were all air sacks and hollow bones, as big as it is it would have weighed less than a large pig.>>737324329We can make ballpark estimates of muscle mass based on how much the bones were stressed at their attachment points. Getting soft tissues right is a bitch but with our current knowledge we'd definitely know elephants had some kind of muscley appendage hanging off its face.
>>737316171I'm guessing this is one of those bullshit dinosaurs where they extrapolated the entire thing based on a fragment of a thigh bone or something.
>>737317549It did but it wasn't some 10 ton monster that can assault jetplanes like Jurassic Park would have you believe. It likely weighed less than a polar bear otherwise it would be incapable of flight. Also its large size didn't mean jackshit because anything that big was doomed during the Late Cretaceous extinction and birds were already outcompeting pterosaurs.
>>737316171Snoot game
