[silver steeple]

The minis excite me a lot ngl

Crazy amount of potential there

[short rover]

fr, lots of potential for just tons of small easy editions

[hollow furnace]

I really hope there aren't memory or technical limitations and they can just add a ton of "clone" terrariums down the line

[silver steeple]

Agreed

Making alt genera for minis would be dope af

[short rover]

i can think of so many prehistoric birds and small shit off the top of my head

especially aquatics

hoping and praying one of the U16 animals is an arboreal heterodontosaur

[hollow furnace]

manidens...

[silver steeple]

Manifesting Manidens

[wary nacelle]

palaeeudyptes klekowskii

Trust

[median relic]

campto stands strong too

I genuinely really want camptosaurus some day 💪 but that's besides the point
I think you can get all of the weird little paleocene mammals in the game as minis. indohyus, eoconodon, taeniolabis, etc.

WHAT

[plucky mantle]

Yeah Tiktaalik is a large animal

[hollow furnace]

Or at least there were large Tiktaaliks

[silver steeple]

I didn't mention it cause its not a small ornithopod lmao

[median relic]

true I guess camptosaurus isn't what one would call small 🥀

[drowsy kettle]

I hope Mapusaurus, Suchomimus, Hatzegopteryx, Irritator & Elasmosaurus win

[outer crater]

Hesperornis mogs

[smoky spear]

still allosaurus lunch

[feral cedar]

I might be alone in this but I genuinely want a coelophysid mini like Procompsognathus or Segisaurus ngl

[hollow furnace]

I do as well

Procompsognathus would be very nice

[feral cedar]

Yeah

although I’d understand if procompy isn’t included

would procompy be feathered or featherless

[median relic]

hesperornis and palaeeudyptes coexist 🫶

[median relic]

nah
either way definitely not ceratosaurus lunch

[hollow furnace]

In real life, feathered

And in game, also probably feathered

[fallow knoll]

Hylaeosaurus. It and Megalosaurus for the OG 3

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1015702620997959700/1325130185963737180/hylaeosaurus.png?ex=6812f068&is=68119ee8&hm=13bfcf1e762bf5f4654d88b141dd68dcb9b8292813e5d75ee1da84b315dd0e21&

[toxic oriole]

I've said it once and I'll say it again
Pterodactylus antiquus

Another OG

[fallow knoll]

Perfect

[toxic oriole]

Pterosaur moment

Though I am somewhat certain this'll have to wait until flying animals are introduced into the game, not via terrariums but as free-roaming fliers

[ancient ibex]

TTBT, Mononykus is relatively large and could work as a full animal

Compy sized pretty much

But, then again, Compy is kind of a noodle versus things usually understood of its size

And the second specimen is substantially larger than the type

[sharp dock]

relatively large

idk

it's small

like barely bigger

[ancient ibex]

Yeah, Bonapartenykus appears to be the one alvie to work well as a full animal

FWIW, Hetero and Mononykus are quite neatly compy sized, stuff like Auroraceratops or Hypsilophodon are already in the size range of Velo and Leaelly, and stuff like a grown Eoraptor, Silesaurus or Zalmoxes is without a doubt larger than some full animals

[plush nacelle]

Prehistoric planet one appears to be small

[ancient ibex]

Yeah, it is a meter long animal with 14 centimeter long femora

It is comparatively shorter tailed than compsognaths

Hence it being larger than a meter long one

But yeah still quite small

[sharp dock]

patagonykus is the largest singleclawed thingimajinger

altho fragmentary

[ancient ibex]

No it isn't

Bonapartenykus is the one I believe

From the same formation as Austroraptor IIRC

[sharp dock]

hmmmm seems ur right

I think it's a good alternative

and if it's with austroraptor even better tbh

[heavy scarab]

I agree that Beelzebufo and Diplocaulus should be in the game. They are 2 of the species I consider "required" along with Dimetrodon

[lean hound]

dimetrodon is confirmed for post ea

[heavy scarab]

Well I hope the other 2 aren't far behind

[sharp dock]

post ea is so far away thooooooooooooooooooo

[lean hound]

I mean ea will be over by early 2027 at the latest

[sharp dock]

girl thats in 2 years

[outer moth]

2026 seems to be the closest possible full release

Though I may be wrong

[ancient ibex]

Updates every 3-4 months points towards a late 2026 release

[sage gull]

Agustinia

Turiasaurus

[low bridge]

Impostor

[sage gull]

?

[smoky spear]

yes

underrated group of sauropod

i dont even remember seeing any of them appear in any mainstream documentary

[sage gull]

Amphicoelias

[smoky spear]

this thing didnt exist

[inner wedge]

seems reasonable

especially considering we could have an animal reveal every month and land in that timeframe for the last one

[sage gull]

How not?

I don't really know the dinosaur, but I found it interesting

[smoky spear]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maraapunisaurus

[ancient ibex]

Amphicoelias is technically already in game; the paper that brought back Brontosaurus by its logic would have it as a junior synonym of Amphicoelias, but of course they didnt because the paper was just goalpost moving explicity for getting Bronto back

[inner wedge]

typical paleontologist priorities

[tired storm]

Cryolophosaurus

[sage gull]

Oh, I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know

[smoky spear]

https://tenor.com/view/ted-yeah-im-gonna-pass-pass-hard-pass-decline-gif-27230762

[sage gull]

I found the photo while looking for the others and it surprised me

[sage gull]

The suggestions are being repeated a lot already lol

[ancient ibex]

Cryo is a neat second dilophosaur-grade animal ttbt

[tired storm]

That just proves we all want the same

[sage gull]

yes

[tired storm]

[sage gull]

I want to see Cryolophosaurus, Yutyrannus and Nanuqsaurus

[tired storm]

fr

[sage gull]

We need dinosaurs from snowy biomes

[inner wedge]

hope the community poll results come out soon

[tired storm]

I want Miragaia as the first stegosauridae

[lean hound]

cryo isn't

[sage gull]

Saurolophus

[tired storm]

Minmi

[smoky spear]

why are you emoting your own comment

[sage gull]

yeah i need this

[tired storm]

We all need this

[sage gull]

I ask the devs to add it lol

with the emoji devs pls

[tired storm]

This game Has Infinite potential Dino wise

[sage gull]

No?

[tired storm]

Yh antartica was pretty hot back then

12 Celcius

[lean hound]

antartica was warm in the jurassic

[sage gull]

it makes sense

[smoky spear]

it was temperate

i wouldnt call it warm

though im from subtropical region so that is just my opinion

🤷

[sage gull]

And is it known if it had feathers or not? Because I've seen representations of both, I suppose it didn't

[hollow furnace]

It is not known

They probably had feathers given how basal they were, but we don't have any direct evidence for or against

[lean hound]

warm compared to it's temperature now

[tired storm]

Purussaurus

[feral cedar]

And this type of nonsense is why I unabashedly prefer Apatosaurus

[sage gull]

I hope that if they add it to the game it has both versions

[feral cedar]

🙏

[sage gull]

Xinjiangtitan

[tired storm]

Dicraeosaurus

[sage gull]

Moschops

[feral cedar]

is it Moschops like chop or cop

[ancient ibex]

Whatever you find better bwahaha

[sage gull]

chop

[late bobcat]

Moschops chops moss chop

[low bridge]

He not looked like this

[sage gull]

Hypacrosaurus

Paralitherizinosaurus

[outer moth]

Why’s the tail so short

[smoky spear]

its a mamenchisaurid

[outer moth]

They have short tails?

[sage gull]

yes

[smoky spear]

yes

[sand quail]

Mantellisaurus

[outer moth]

Huh, never thought of that

[sand quail]

Actually tenonto is way better

[outer moth]

Why haven’t I seen more paleoart with Short tail Mamenchis

[sand quail]

Shunosaurus

[outer moth]

Shuno’s perfect
Alongside all of the Shaximiao roster

[sand quail]

FR

Sauroposeidon

[sage gull]

Patagotitan

[sand quail]

Paralititan

[sage gull]

Europasaurus

[sage gull]

The shortest sauropod I think

[smoky spear]

its also just a smaller brachiosaurus

no thanks

[plush nacelle]

Europasaurus so good

Game would use such tiny sauropod

[smoky spear]

there are other dwarf sauropods that arent just brachiosaurus but smaller

[sand quail]

Sillosuchus!

[smoky spear]

the in game argentinosaurus is already based on skeletal with elements based on patagotitan

[sharp dock]

Very cool guys, I can see you know a lot of dinosaur names :)

[autumn plover]

I'm half convinced people go and search random dinosaur names and then post them in this channel

[sage gull]

Edaphosaurus

[autumn plover]

My guy you've been posting names with a picture for over an hour, can you maybe elaborate on why these things are actually worth adding instead of just spamming names?

[sage gull]

Literally everyone just puts the photo and name

[autumn plover]

tbf it's wrong to single you out specifically this is 90% of the suggestions

[sharp dock]

What would make you think such a thing?
You dont think glupshittosaurus is the best addition ever?

[sage gull]

And I am one of the few who give a small explanation in some, such as that a variety of dinos from cold biomes or a small sauropod are needed

[autumn plover]

nah that's the one thing we need right now

game kind of sucks right now and that will fix it

[sharp dock]

Thanks for explaining the necessity of the game to have the very important and staple species paralitherizinosaurus and xinjiangtitan 👍

[autumn plover]

Literally asking for glupshitto version of therizinosaurus before actual therizinosaurus is in-game

[sharp dock]

Idk what id do without those in the game

[sage gull]

Do I have to wait for therizinosaurus to be added to suggest it? lol

[autumn plover]

Hey Narwhaler

there's this really call dinosaur I wanna add

it's super fragmentary

Thanos

[sharp dock]

Omg what is it?

[autumn plover]

think of the MCU tie-in

[sharp dock]

Pog i love that
The purple guy

[autumn plover]

game changing

[sage gull]

Thanosaurus lol

[sharp dock]

This guy now suggesting glupshitto thanos....

[sage gull]

I only searched for purple dinosaur

[autumn plover]

he's not reached peak glupshitto

Thanosaurus rex

[sage gull]

I didn't know it was real lol

[autumn plover]

I really hate how the only big pop culture villain to get a dinosaur named after them is Thanos

We need Darth Vaderceratops

[smoky spear]

vander from arcane?

[heavy scarab]

When it comes to animals in PK or any zoo game. I have a personal ranking system, while all species are welcome I firmly believe some have higher priority.
Level 1 - must be in the base game or I consider it unfinished. Tyrannosaurus and the Woolly Mammoth are in this category.
Level 2 - would like to see it in the base but works fine as DLC. Thylacine and Quagga are in this category.
Level 3 - work best as DLC and must be among the DLC. Pteranodon and Mosasaurus are in this category.
Level 4 - would like to see in the DLC but won't be real mad if it's left out. Nasutoceratops and Gigantopithecus are in this category.
Level 5 - welcome but don't really care if it gets in or not. Ambulocetus and Torvosaurus are in this category.

[sharp dock]

Where troodon land

[heavy scarab]

Troodon aka Stenonychosaurus would be a level 3

[sharp dock]

How dare you mention the S word in this chat

We dont speak of the s word....

[lean hound]

take that back about ambulo

you monster

[autumn plover]

ah yes

Ambulonce

[sharp dock]

I hope they add fire truck before

[autumn plover]

not before Police car

[sharp dock]

School bus is more iconic tbh

[autumn plover]

yeah but it's so fragmentary

[sharp dock]

With london bus alt species

[autumn plover]

nah we don't need alts

[sharp dock]

For europe repp

[autumn plover]

tell you what

Forklift

easy 5 star

great for the petting zoo

[sharp dock]

I double the offer: minivan

[autumn plover]

dude that's carnivorous that can't go in the petting zoo

[plush nacelle]

Benz Patent-Motorwagen, because it was the first car

[errant garnet]

The older posts aren't loading, so there are likely duplicate entries.

I'd like to see the "post-dinosaur era" of the Bison latifrons, the European forest elephant Palaeoloxodon antiquus because it's even larger than the mammoth, Glyptotherium, Megatherium, Bos primigenius, stag moose, Diprotodon,

and a few of the bizarrely shaped mammals like Bramatherium, Sivatherium, Brontotherium, as well as a selection of large flightless birds like Dromornis, elephant bird, giant moa, Titanis, and kelenken.

The Sicilian fauna, with its pygmy elephant and giant swans, would also be a great excavation area.

[buoyant zephyr]

I disagree with Ptera, Mosa and Ambulo

I agree with the rest

[feral cedar]

Argentinosaurus 2

[sage gull]

And? It's still a good dinosaur, obviously I'd like to see many more creatures added first, but it would be nice to have it in the game someday

[lean hound]

it looks wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too similar to argentinosaurus to be a base game animal

even in a dlc it would feel wasteful

[autumn plover]

If we get Argentinosaurus 2 can we also get Argentinosaurus 3 and 4

Bruhathkayosaurus and futalognkosaurus

Please they would be really awesome additions

[sage gull]

That's what I said...

[lean hound]

no you didn't

you said you would like more animals first

[sage gull]

Yes, and I also said that it could be added in the future, in DLCs

[lean hound]

where

[sage gull]

.

[sharp dock]

https://tenor.com/view/say-that-again-say-that-say-that-agian-marvel-fantastic-gif-12441585058103544841

the good dinosaur...... I like how that sounds.........................

[sage gull]

https://tenor.com/view/narwhal-ocean-arctic-whale-tusk-gif-3383412

[autumn plover]

Thing is "good dinosaur" can be made for like 90% of dinosaurs

we aren't going to get 90% of dinosaurs though

So what's an actual reason for Patagotitan other than "it's neat"

[smoky spear]

yeah its literally just argentinosaurus but smaller lol

[sage gull]

It is the tallest dinosaur, in my opinion it is interesting, but for a future DLC, I prefer other dinos than this one

[lean hound]

that doesn't mention dlcs at all

[sage gull]

I don't mention the word DLC, but I think it is implied because I talk about it being added after many creatures and in the distant future

[smoky spear]

Its not

[autumn plover]

I think Patagotitan is a waste even in a dlc

What about Diplodocus, Mamenchisaurus, Nigersaurus, Amargasaurus, Magyarosaurus, Shunosaurus

^Whether or not you think the above animals are worth adding doesn't matter when you can certainly agree that at least they aren't Argentinosaurus clone number 7

That's just talking about sauropods

that's not considering the numerous fan favourite theropds, ornithopods, ceratopsians, thyreophoreans that people want and are more than just clones

and you want to waste dlc slots on Patagotitan?

That's not even the 2nd Titanosaur worth adding, let alone sauropod

I don't think Ampelosaurus is worth adding, but at least it wouldn't be another south American titanosaur

[outer moth]

No animal is a waste in my opinion
(except dubious genera)

[autumn plover]

thats true irl, but in the context of this game when thinking about the resources required to develop it, if it's a clone it's a waste

[outer moth]

Imo the term "clone" is overused in zoo games

[autumn plover]

ok well in that case, lets add Giganotosaurus, Mapusaurus, Tyrannotitan, Taurovenator all as distinct genera because the word clone has no meaning

4 animals well spent

[outer moth]

I mean they could all be alts of each other

[autumn plover]

That's true, but the devs have said they won't go back to make animals alts

[sage gull]

I don't think it's bad that there are "clone" dinos, they add more variety to the game and there are already "clones" in the game, like Tarbosaurus or Juxia

[autumn plover]

the same could have been said of patagotitan and Argentinosaurus

but Argentino is already in-game so it's too late for alts

[fresh ember]

Well, that might not be true anymore, considering they seem to be interested in doing Columbian mammoth post-EA.

[smoky spear]

as a separate animal

[autumn plover]

Is that going to be it's own thing or a retroactive Woolly Mammoth alt?

[smoky spear]

like the 2 rhino thingy i dont care enough to remember the names of

[autumn plover]

Those are literally alt species of animals already in-game

[sage gull]

I am in favor of "clones" but I understand that you prioritize more different animals

[fresh ember]

We don't know. ATM it's just on a list of species they wanna do.

[plush nacelle]

True, but PK cant constantly provide unique animals. Clones are bound to happen

[autumn plover]

Thats true, but they certainly make the effort to not make two of the same animals, but with a different names like Argent/Patago

unless it's as an alt-species which is a special case

[thick pewter]

IMO, when it comes to any future additions, I think priority #1 should be variety. Bringing in representatives of clades that aren't in the game yet (abelisaurs, therapsids, etc) would be the best way to start. Then when bringing in less well known animals from groups that already have representation, bring in the weird ones that showcase the diversity of their class.

[autumn plover]

^

[outer moth]

Honestly another titanosaur could happen down the line seeing as there are tons of cool species
People tend to forget that titanosaur diversity was pretty high by the end of the cretaceous

[autumn plover]

if you're gonna add more titanosaurs at least make an effort to find one that isn't just a clone of Argentinosaurus

[sage gull]

And there are very similar dinosaurs that aren't alts, like rhinos. And I think that's fine

[outer moth]

Sauropods in general are underrated imo

[autumn plover]

I honestly have no idea what you mean by that, can you elaborate?

[thick pewter]

For a new titanosaur, I'd prefer Saltasaurus or Magyarosaurus. Something on the small side to offset Argent's immenseness.

[autumn plover]

^

Even if you go for large one's theres plenty better than Patagotitan

[sage gull]

I mean that are not alternatives

I have written it wrong

[autumn plover]

Alamosaurus is another Argentinosaurus "clone" at least it comes from North America instead of South

I think I understand what you mean?

You talking about the 3 species of Rhino in-game?

[sage gull]

Yes

[autumn plover]

well one of them is an alt

[sage gull]

Yeah

[kind oriole]

Saltasaurus is cooler than Patagotitan

[sage gull]

The other 2 no

[autumn plover]

and i mean you can't just expect to have single representatives of entire groups

[kind oriole]

A mamenchisaurid has a cooler neck than titanosaurs per definition

[autumn plover]

we have 4 non-alt sauropod species already

but at least they're distinct

[outer moth]

Still surprised Mamenchisaurs have shorter tails
I expected them to be longer

[sage gull]

But the rhinos are so similar

[autumn plover]

maybe somewhat physically

still separate groups within Rhino's

[smoky spear]

no they are from different lineages

[autumn plover]

I mean that only makes it better than Patago

[outer moth]

Sauroposeidon would be a cool one imo

[sage gull]

Yes

[hollow furnace]

If we were to have to get a giant titanosaur I would prefer we get a design without osteoderms

[median relic]

I'd love to see therizinosaurus with a nothronychus alt, assuming nothro can come back

[sage gull]

I'm sure they will have

[median relic]

also falcarius but separately

[plush nacelle]

Peak

[sage gull]

And Paralitherizinosaurus

[smoky spear]

but osteoderms were widespread in titanosaurs

[outer moth]

They're not that close

[smoky spear]

theres a good chance its the basal characteristic of the group

[median relic]

mehhhh

[median relic]

how so

[sage gull]

Mini theri

[median relic]

for the purposes of the game they are

[autumn plover]

literally nothronychus

[median relic]

nothro is basically a smaller theri, maybe has proportionally shorter claws

[smoky spear]

almost 30 million years apart

lol

[median relic]

how is that relevant at all?? lol

[smoky spear]

how is that irrelevant?

they were very different

[median relic]

...

are you going to say how yet

nothro is smaller than theri, that's basically all we know given how fragmentary theri itself is

[sage gull]

It is larger than paralitherizinosaurus

[smoky spear]

they are as related as humans are to new world monkeys

probably even less

[median relic]

uhhhhhh

[smoky spear]

considering their lineages diverged way before Nothronychus

[median relic]

are you sure man because they look a lot more similar to each other than we do to new world monkeys

alright then you win

[thick pewter]

The newly described Duonychus is (as far as the current fragmentary evidence would suggest) could be a fun representative for a small Therizinosaur.

[median relic]

thoughts on sinocalliopteryx as a non-mini?

[sharp dock]

what's interesting about this dinosaur

[median relic]

largest compsognathid

it's also from yixian

[sharp dock]

I'll ask again

what's interesting about this dinosaur

[plush nacelle]

Not really relevant for such fragmentary animal as theri. Whole animal is basically reconstructed based on animals older by 30 million years

[median relic]

:(

it's cool though

[hollow flower]

Its neat

but on the hierarchy of things id be interested in its not very high

[sharp dock]

so cool (any theropod ever)

[autumn plover]

I feel like this community needs to understand the difference between a cool animal irl and a cool animal to add to the game

[hollow flower]

Yeah

[autumn plover]

All dinosaurs are cool

I highly doubt we’ll get more than 100 dinosaurs General total in-game including current dinosaurs, those coming before the end of ea, and those coming as dlc later

[hollow flower]

Currently Id like to see more Paleogene/Neogene mammals

[autumn plover]

Not everything’s gonna make it, “it’s cool or I like it” isn’t a reason to add something

[autumn plover]

Yeah, I like that the post ea ideas list seems to be fairly balanced between dinosaurs and Cenozoics

[median relic]

I mean I wasn't that set on sino but I genuinely think it's neat

[hollow flower]

Not only that but also non dinosaurs

[lean hound]

definitely big enough to be a full animal

[sharp dock]

the most important dinosaur to add rn is unironically kelenken

:)

well and stego

[hollow flower]

Absolutely

[autumn plover]

Yeah, really glad to see some non-dinosaur Triassic animals

Postosuchus is something I really hope gets in

[hollow flower]

The older I get the more I find non-dinosaurs cooler

[sage gull]

And pachy

[median relic]

qianzhousaurus?

[sharp dock]

pachy is already in the game silly 😄

pachyrhinosaurus? remember? 🙂

[hollow flower]

Id rather have Alioramus with like

[outer moth]

I think they meant Pachyc

[hollow flower]

A qianzhou alt

[outer moth]

Not Pachyr

[sage gull]

[sage gull]

Yes

[sharp dock]

nah I'm pretty sure they meant the dinosaur that is already in the game

[hollow flower]

but yeah either of them are N.1 priority in terms of tyrannosaurs

[sharp dock]

Alioramus meaning different branch............................................... or something like that

[median relic]

qianzhousaurus > alioramus

[sharp dock]

pretentious

[autumn plover]

Just make them alts

[sharp dock]

they both long snouted basic bitchosaurs

[hollow flower]

Yeah thats the best way to go about it

[sharp dock]

I can already feel it.......... the slippery slope.....

first it will be qianzo/alio.... then lythronax.......... then......... daspletosaurus.............. shivers

the tyrannosaurid slope is truly awful

[median relic]

yangchuanosaurus

[autumn plover]

Honestly don’t get the hope for Daspletosaurus/Lythronax

Just small tyrannosaurids

[plain linden]

ngl i thought it was bigger 😔

[autumn plover]

At least I get it for Albertosaurus

[hollow flower]

Allo should come first but Yang is a must

[autumn plover]

But we don’t need any tyrannosaurines

[sharp dock]

albertosaurus is only high there for the nanuqsaurus and gorgosaurus potential I think

[autumn plover]

We have T.rex and Tarbo

[median relic]

god gorgosaurus would go so hard

[hollow furnace]

Nanuq potential gross

Alberto and Gorgo are cool

[autumn plover]

Nanuqsaurus is a literal jaw

I cringe whenever I see a suggestion for it

[sharp dock]

i literally dont care

cold dinosaur

sold

[hollow furnace]

Booo

[autumn plover]

Just put a t rex in a cold biome sorted

[sage gull]

Bajadasaurus and Amargasaurus

[hollow furnace]

Especially as a Alberto alt, it's probably not even an albertosaurine

[hollow flower]

Amarga is a must for sauropods

No two ways around that

[autumn plover]

We don’t even know what it is

[plush nacelle]

Nar is right. Nanuq is bound to happen

[sharp dock]

doesnt current amarga have sails

[hollow flower]

The only way Id like to see Nanuq is as like

[autumn plover]

Doubt it

[hollow furnace]

it is not

[hollow flower]

Is Drypto closely related to it?

[plush nacelle]

Yes it is

[lean hound]

yeah it wouldn't have spines like that

[hollow furnace]

no

[hollow flower]

Then no

I was gonna say maybe as a Drypto alt if that ever gets added

[hollow furnace]

It's a tyrannosaurid

[hollow flower]

Man Tyrannosaur classification is odd

[sage gull]

Yeah i know but is cool lol

[lean hound]

well it would but they wouldn't be visible like that

[hollow flower]

Tyrannosaurid, Tyrannosauroid, etc

[smoky spear]

its 1 of the 2 dinosaurs mentioned by name in the game but not in the game yet

[hollow flower]

very confusing to remember whats what

[autumn plover]

It’s literally a jawbone

[plush nacelle]

Rightfully or not nanuq is becoming incredibly popular

[hollow furnace]

That is meaningless, white rhinos are also mentioned by name, doesn't mean they're going to come

[terse sparrow]

nanotyrannus :^)

[median relic]

drypto yes please please

[hollow flower]

Now i know the two arent too closely related but Id rather have Yuty over Nanuq

[autumn plover]

Feathered cold tyrannosauroid

[hollow flower]

Didnt it live in a somewhat cold environment?

[sage gull]

because it is a dino of snowy biomes

[autumn plover]

Also the popularity argument is a bit odd, the entire family is extremely popular

[lean hound]

temperate with seasonal snow?

idrk

[autumn plover]

Albertosaurus is popular, Tarbo is popular

Yutyrannus is also well liked

[plush nacelle]

Im aware. WWD25 nanuq will be generational

[median relic]

camptosaurus

[hollow flower]

Id like to see Campto

[median relic]

like a big fat dryo

criminally underrated

[hollow flower]

Its a good filler animal of the Morrison while also being of decent size

[median relic]

would be so cool to cohabit with dryo

[hollow flower]

Albeit on the list of things we need from there its like

Number 4?

[thick pewter]

Still waiting on Stegosaurus and Ceratosaurus, at least.

[hollow flower]

maybe 5?

oh good lord cerato i forgot

Number 6

[median relic]

also for more morrison reps, I really want diplo and super

diplo can have a carnegii, longus, and hallorum alt or one of them can be barosaurus

[hollow flower]

Baro should probably be a Dippy alt

[terse sparrow]

tbh a baro alt would be cool

[smoky spear]

they have very different proportion

the bronto in game is already not different enough from apato

even though they have more dramatic proportional differences

[low bridge]

Guys do you think that Borealopelta is needed ?

[sharp dock]

I think a nodosaur is needed

which one? idk

[hollow flower]

Either as an alt to Edmontonia or as a nod to it with a skin for some other Nodosaur

[sharp dock]

I think the original options were edmontonia and sauropelta iirc?

[hollow flower]

Yeah

Sauro got axed but i highly doubt its not ever gonna return

[sharp dock]

flashbacks

[hollow flower]

I really love that skin on the left

[autumn plover]

Edmontonia is cool

I hope it's our nodo rep but I understand if a different one is chosen

[sharp dock]

it's alr

out of the bunch my top pick would be borealopelta tbh

[autumn plover]

Are they similar enough to be alts?

[sharp dock]

no idea

I just think borealopelta is a one of the most beautiful dinosaurs

[autumn plover]

it really is

[sharp dock]

like unironically it's gorgeous and the fossil is one of the most amazing ones I've seen

[autumn plover]

If borealopelta doesn't make it in I really hope it's skin pattern makes it on our nodosaur as tribute

Is that what they tried to do here?

[hollow flower]

Maybe

[hollow furnace]

basically

[autumn plover]

can't be coincidence right?

[hollow flower]

Theyre not too close but also not that far from each other

[sand quail]

Poposaurus

[autumn plover]

no alt potential sucks

which ever one gets in will be great though

[hollow flower]

Me personally I found that alts needing to be very closely related is a bit silly

[median relic]

fr?

[hollow furnace]

Borealopelta is very divergent morphologically though

[median relic]

what are the differences anyway

[hollow furnace]

Very different osteoderms

[sharp dock]

where pinacosaurus

oh wait pinaco is an ankylosaur

[median relic]

I mean between apato and bronto

[low bridge]

Spinachosaurus

[sharp dock]

where hylaeosaurus

[low bridge]

On hill

[hollow furnace]

I know, I wasn't responding to you, I was responding to Maunomanly

[hollow flower]

In my opinion Sauropelta is the best Nodosaur to add

I always found its removal a very odd choice

[median relic]

ok

[low bridge]

Stegouros is needed with Patagopelta

[median relic]

sauropelta and edmontonia would be my picks for nodosaurs

maybe hungarosaurus or struthiosaurus too?

[hollow flower]

Look at those big ol spikes

But yeah Edmont + Sauro is the best for nodosaurs overall

[median relic]

if god is real he was cooking 🙏

[hollow flower]

It also had alot of unique skins back in the day

[plucky mantle]

Ideally we'd get both but if we got just one I'd prefer Sauropelta IMO. Bigger, more unique, and from a less represented ecosystem

Always loved all the old Sauropelta skins

[hollow flower]

I think my least favourites the one on the left this time

Its just green

[plucky mantle]

Yeah

[hollow flower]

Not terrible but kind of bland

[plucky mantle]

the speckled skin looks so nice tho

[hollow flower]

One animal Id like to see is Sarkastodon

Weird critter that kinda looks like a bear

[median relic]

I think it's funny that at some point, this was probably the largest animal on earth (barylambda)

add him

[hollow flower]

I was going through a Pot mod roster

and i found this in it

Not sure how theyd make a bivalve playable but this would be a neat deco in pk

[plain linden]

good lord that is huge-

[median relic]

I love giant extinct bivalves lol

[low bridge]

Stupendemys when?

[median relic]

unironically YES please

this thing is so criminally underrepresented for how absurd it is

it looks like a swamp monster from a silent film

genuinely I don't get why it needed to be that big. What was it living with? godzilla caimans?

[hollow flower]

Well

Yeah

[plain linden]

land archelon 🔥

but golly that is one giant turtle

[sage gull]

Isisaurus

[autumn plover]

If we were to get a small sauropod, out of Nigersaurus, Amargasaurus, Shunosaurus, Magyarosaurus (the most popular ones), im genuinely curious to hear what people want

[sand quail]

There was another species of shuno that was pretty massive

[autumn plover]

I'd personally love Nigersaurus above the others as it's the weirdest (shared with Amarga) but unlike the other from an existing formation with Ouranosaurus

[hollow furnace]

Amarga > Niger > Shuno > Magya

[autumn plover]

what makes you rank Amarga the highest?

[hollow furnace]

I like Amarga, I think it's more interesting and a classic compared to Niger

Both are very close though

[autumn plover]

Yeah

[hollow furnace]

I consider both must-haves

[autumn plover]

I think Amarga is more interesting to look at, I just rank Niger higher because it adds to a formation, which itself adds to other animals

I'd definitely prefer those two over the other two

[limber nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/ninja-any-haircut-recommendations-low-taper-fade-you-know-what-else-is-massive-gif-3708438262570242561

[plucky mantle]

my small sauropod pick would be Nigersaurus because Ourano could use some friends but Amarga would not be bad and frankly I'd want both.

[quaint plank]

gremlin

[limber nexus]

I’m too tired to boo you

[sage gull]

Onychonycteris for terrarium

[chilly nova]

got too excited and accidentally made a huge list lol

[chilly nova]

Here's one that I find would be neat to have on the game:
Dinosaurus murchisonii
(Paleoart by Dmitry Bogdanov)

[minor ivy]

We NEED an Australian Update
Austrolovenator and Minmi plus 2 or 3 Mega Fauna

[hollow flower]

Id love to see these two come back soon

Would fill out the early cenozoic roster

[median relic]

man I forgot the original 50 aren't confirmed anymore

[wary nacelle]

THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN ASKING FOR—

[hollow flower]

I still usually hold them in higher regards compared to other things but yeah

its a little nuts

[median relic]

like bro hyaenodon had animations and everything

[median relic]

ekaltadeta

[limber nexus]

For people who haven’t taken the poll, I’ll be putting it here 1 last time
Thank y’all so much for the participation, this is unofficial and you get 5 votes

https://forms.gle/APbUUtE35J7nqbL47

[median relic]

you can't expect me to pick only 5 out of so many GOATS....

[tired storm]

fr

[median relic]

best I can do is therizinosaurus, gorgosaurus, mastodonsaurus, hesperornis, and hatzegopteryx

[tired storm]

Stegosauridae😔

[junior glacier]

does anyone have a link to the original 50? id love to check them out

[hollow flower]

Here are all the animals from the original 50 that have yet to return

https://prehistorickingdom.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Non-Early_Access_Animals

Minus Sauropelta, Nothronychus, Tenontosaurus and Thescelosaurus

Those got cut but they will probably return at some point

[median relic]

man carno had such a good coloration

[hollow flower]

Cerato I think had the best skins overall

Its also excluding Galli, Allo and stego due to them being confirmed to be arriving

and Bary

[smoky spear]

til this page exists

[hollow flower]

Its pretty useful

[silver steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-rick-dalton-point-finger-pointing-hand-right-there-gif-16110706635095326137

[silver steeple]

Still wild to me that hyaenodon of all things got pushed aside

One of the best looking of the original fifty and had so much work done on it

Daeodon I can get cause it wasn't looking the greatest

But like hyaenodon was just as good as pretty much anything else at launch

[hollow flower]

Yeah

And it would give Paracera something to go alongside with it

But instead its just alone in the Oligocene

[low bridge]

Most people won't be liking this

Pleistocene Kingdom is real

[median relic]

black yutyrannus was so cool. They were cooking

[lean hound]

most people don't give a flying ambulocetus about any of the game's mammals

actually the pk community is way cooler than a lot of other paleo media fandoms

so not most

but a lot

[outer moth]

They gotta return Yuty one day

[short rover]

Trug

[hollow flower]

Of the old Yuty skins the one on the left is easily my favourite

Reminds me of a strawberry ice cream

The one they serve at Mcdonalds specifically

Is that one even an ice cream or a flurry?

No clue

[outer moth]

If they ever re-add Yuty, they gotta re add at least one of those skins

[short rover]

I think the blue and yellow face is iconic

[hollow flower]

The black yuty could use the new graphics and polish

Otherwise its great

[heavy scarab]

When it comes to big theropods there are 10 that I believe "need" to be in the game. Whether it be the base or by DLC and not counting any alternate species.
T-rex, Spino, Acro, and Carchar are already in so the 6 I still want to see are; Allosaurus, Carnotaurus, Baryonyx, Giganotosaurus, Albertosaurus and Ceratosaurus

[slim flare]

I agree except Giganotosaurus

Therizinosaurus and Gigantoraptor would be better

[naive storm]

We NEED austroraptor

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/jurassic_park_institute/images/a/a7/2560px-Austroraptor_Restoration.png/revision/latest?cb=20240108214612

[slim flare]

Austroraptor is cool

[lean hound]

allo and bary are confirmed

both ea

[hollow flower]

I would love to see a large rauisuchian

Postosuchus as the bipedal representative and Saurosuchus/Prestosuchus as the quadrupedal representative

[short rover]

true!

[heavy scarab]

I would like to see Austroraptor to but I give it 4th place in priority.
Behind Velociraptor, Utahraptor, and Deinonychus. 5th place is Pyroraptor

[silver steeple]

Velo is already in the game?

[heavy scarab]

Yes

[silver steeple]

No I meant like why did you put it in your message

I'm well aware that velo is in

[hollow flower]

I would rather see Austro than Deinonychus

Has a more unique look and interactions

[median relic]

see I get where you're coming from but

deinonychus is such an important animal to paleontology as a whole, it's iconic, and there's not really a dromaeosaur of its shape in game or known to be planned right now

• it's the JP raptor, though that reason wouldn't be why I'd add it

[lean hound]

Unpopular opinion I'd rather have utah, it opens way more opportunities for making fake animals with ontogeny

but deinon is a must too

[median relic]

tbh I think velo, deinonychus, austro, and utah is a good dromaeosaur roster

I'd argue all four have a distinct look from each other

if you really want more you can get halszkaraptor and idk... saurornitholestes has a neat head

[heavy scarab]

Oh sorry. I also knew that. I just listed it as it's still #1 on the priority list hence why it's a good thing it's already in

[autumn plover]

So is Velociraptor, so is Utahraptor, Deinonychus can sit this one out

[autumn plover]

I’d rather get a troodont than Deinonychus

More diversity than just another dromeosaur

Also we gutted Tenonto so less need for Deinonychus now

[hollow flower]

That is true

Id like to see Deinonychus with Teno

[autumn plover]

Velociraptor is the iconic dromeosaur with the famous name. It’s also Asia rep

Utahraptor is the large one and now equally famous, it’s very robust and gives us North America rep

Austroraptor is the weird one, a piscivore, and gives us SA rep

Deinonychus used to be the “big” raptor until Utahraptor was discovered, it’s also another one from North America

If we get a 4th sickle clawed dinosaur it’s should be a troodont, Deinonychus is just unnecessary

[fresh ember]

No offense, but the fact that you guys would dunk on Deinonychus' inclusion despite how important is kinda infuriating at worst.

[autumn plover]

Ok

Pretty sure Utahraptor and Velociraptor are also important, if not moreso, so sorry I guess?

[hollow furnace]

Nope, nowhere close

Deinonychus is arguably one of the most scientifically important dinosaurs period

[autumn plover]

I mean Velociraptor is “the raptor”

[fresh ember]

Deinonychus is literally the sole reason the Dinosaur Renaissance even happened. And people keep shrugging it off like it's no big deal.

[autumn plover]

The Jurassic park one

[hollow furnace]

Velociraptor is Deinonychus that got renamed because of silly lumping

[autumn plover]

Wym?

[hollow furnace]

The Velociraptor is Jurassic Park is Deinonychus

At the time of the novel's writing, one of the advisors, Gregory Paul, thought that Deinonychus was a junior synoym of Velociraptor — as in they are the same animal, which is why it's called Velociraptor

[fresh ember]

And this managed to be carried over into the film, to the point where Spielberg allegedly requested every written work available from Ostrom on Deinonychus.

[hollow flower]

What did he need the written work for?

[hollow furnace]

to understand the animal better

[fresh ember]

Because believe it or not, they took paleontology seriously at the time.

[hollow flower]

Fair enough

[heavy scarab]

The raptors in the novel are based on Deinonychus but were called Velociraptor. Though the raptors in later films especially JP3 were more similar in size to Utahraptor.

[short rover]

they were upsized to look scarier/fit people in the practical suit, and theyre still closer in size to deinon. I dont think people realize how massive utah is.

or deinon for that matter

[fresh ember]

Except Utahraptor wasn't discovered until late in production and wasn't named until after the first film came out.

[hallow mango]

Deinonchyus would be cool to have in this game ong

[hollow flower]

Utahs like

horse sized

[short rover]

^

[hollow flower]

I remember seeing a size comparison between it and the jp1 raptors and it dwarfed them

Nowadays i see ones with jp3 sizes though

[short rover]

the raptors in the movies are far closer in size to deinonychus than they are to utahraptor

[hollow flower]

I swear last time i saw a size comparison between the two the jp one was alot smaller

This ones a bit better

[heavy scarab]

Also when Spielberg heard about Utahraptor he pointed its similarities to the JP3 raptors saying "we made it, they discovered it."

[fresh ember]

That was someone else, and it was during JP's production, not JP3.

[trail gyro]

Viatkogorgon for terrarium

[heavy scarab]

You are correct, my mistake. Utahraptor was also almost named Utahraptor speilbergi but the idea fell through

[plain linden]

that would actually be a cool ass sceintific name

i mean the first name would stay the same

but the second one being a homage to spielberg would´ve actually been fire 🔥

[open heron]

I have to assume since it's never became official it would be a valid potential name if a second species of Utahraptor is ever to come around.

[hollow flower]

True

And honestly ostrommaysi is as valid

[heavy scarab]

There is a pterosaur called Maaradactylus speilbergi, hence why it got into JWE2

[hollow furnace]

Likely to be the case based on some rumours about the Block iirc

[plain linden]

lmao.

[hollow flower]

Hes the main man behind the dinosaur renaissance

[hollow furnace]

(A second Utah species, not spielbergi specifically)

[short rover]

Oh what I thought ostrommaysi was the one in the block

[outer moth]

Would be insane if there was in fact a second Utah species

[hollow furnace]

None of this is anything official (it's all interviews and the like) and I may be misremembering but pretty sure there looks to be two different species in the block

[silver steeple]

Might be, might not be

[limber nexus]

But they are cool

[limber nexus]

I think this game would survive around giga

It would be neat eventually, but there are creatures they should be a way higher priority

[hollow flower]

Yeah

[short rover]

intriguing...

[hollow flower]

Giga is a low priority must

[limber nexus]

Yeah, I don’t think it coming to the game is a bad idea, just thing it shouldn’t come for awhile with the current roster

[hollow flower]

Like you cant not have it but also theres alot that take priority over it

[short rover]

carch is already the best animal in the game

[hollow flower]

Precisely

[limber nexus]

Paracera is right there my guy

And dilo

[short rover]

i said what i said

[hollow flower]

I got no say in what the best is considering i still infact dont actually have the game

[outer moth]

Eh, I'm alright with Carch
I prefer Giga, sue me

[short rover]

see you in court

[hollow furnace]

You've been served

[hollow flower]

I really should get to work on that

[limber nexus]

Carchar is pretty good, like top 10, but Paracera is right there

[outer moth]

Wait no don't actually do it-

[short rover]

in all seriousness before carch was in the game, i wouldnt have cared which was added

its just now that we actually have carch, giga feels completely unecessary

id be saying the same thing if we got giga instead

[limber nexus]

Unnecessary is a bit much, it should come eventually, I just want an expanded roster first

[short rover]

you get what i mean

[hollow flower]

Also if we never get it there will be a sea of requests for it

And no one wants that

[short rover]

bold of you to assume the devs care about the streams of animal requests...

[limber nexus]

Oh it’s one of the most suggested species

[short rover]

perhaps why they relegated it to a subthread...?

[outer moth]

I like clones just as much as unique creatures, and it feels like I'm the only one with that stance since everyone has such a hot view on "clone" animals

[hollow furnace]

Call Mau the Dead Sea for how he baths in salt

[short rover]

more evidence needed

[short rover]

the tears of coty truthers will keep him afloat forever

[limber nexus]

I don’t think adding them is a bad idea, I just would prefer a diverse roster to be prioritized

[hollow flower]

A crazy thing is a year or two ago i thought the two lions were redundant additions due to Smilodon

[limber nexus]

That’s is a gooner take

[hollow flower]

Absolute nutjob take that was

Yeah

[short rover]

at the end of the day no matter how you slice it, dev resources are limited and id like to see them distrubuted as widely as possible

[hollow flower]

I do still find their faces real similar barring the fangs

[limber nexus]

It’s like they are both cats

But I don’t think we need another cat for awhile

[limber nexus]

Yeah, I’d prefer Ambleocetus any day of the week over giga

[outer moth]

I feel like it'll end up diverse no matter what

[hollow flower]

Absolutely

[outer moth]

I'm honestly leaning towards aviaries and aquatics after launch

[hollow flower]

Id take any unique non dinosaur over giga generally

[limber nexus]

I think adding something that isn’t in the game is more unique than another cat, ceratopsian, rhino, Carchar, or hadrosaur

[hollow flower]

Gigas main appeal is probably as like

Dlc

Or some sort of free update

[short rover]

for sure

[outer moth]

I've got some aviary and marine enclosure ideas in my mind that I can't even do

[hollow flower]

I feel like if they made Giga dlc it would be a little controversial

But who knows

[outer moth]

It wouldn't

They can pull it off

Realistically I see it being a Cretaceous SA Pack

[hollow flower]

True but its a really popular animal

[hollow furnace]

That’s why you make it a DLC

[limber nexus]

It is hopefully far enough in the future where they roster will be more diverse than it is now

[hollow furnace]

Honestly it’s like, the perfect DLC animal, there’s already it with just a different name, you aren’t missing out by not getting Giga as a DLC

[hollow flower]

I suppose jwe1 did the opposite

Acro and carch were dlc while giga was free

[heavy scarab]

I know I will probably be a minority in this but I would gladly toss out Torvo in favor of Giga

[hollow furnace]

Wrong

[hollow flower]

Now thats a crazy statement

[hollow furnace]

Incorrect

[hollow flower]

My eyes popped out my head reading that

[limber nexus]

That’s wild

[short rover]

terrible

tossing out a big cool megalosaur for another large carch thats extremely similar to one ingame already

[limber nexus]

7.8 out of 10 bait, too much water

[hollow flower]

If that was the case wed have carchmania

[plucky mantle]

Toss out the best understood Megalosaur, a group that otherwise likely won't ever get any major rep in the game, for animal so similar to Carch it literally could be an alt species with very minor skull alterations

[hollow flower]

Also torvos colours (except gurneyi) are great

[short rover]

i need to see torvo ingame again, it used to be my least fav theropod in the game but after the update it looks awesome

[hollow flower]

Volcanic is in my opinion the best skin in the game

I remember in yee olden days it was actually my pfp

[limber nexus]

It used to be my favorite, but now dilo is a thing

[short rover]

before the remake it just looked off to me, unbalanced and such

which has been fixed now

also yeah dilo is great, i do wish it had 2 feathered skins instead of 1

[hollow flower]

I do kinda miss the long look of it

[short rover]

it still has a long look, just not weirdly stretched/unbalanced

[trail gyro]

Dakotaraptor and Trodon would be great additions

[limber nexus]

7.8 out of 10 bait

To much water

[runic tiger]

I think they're just being ironic

[heavy scarab]

Just so everyone understands what my position is, here are my top 20 large theropods in order from high priority to low priority. Not counting alternate species
1 tyrannosaurus
2 spinosaurus
3 Carnotaurus
4 allosaurus
5 baryonyx
6 giganotosaurus
7 ceratosaurus
8 acrocanthosaurus
9 albertosaurus
10 carcharadontosaurus
11 megalosaurus
12 suchomimus
13 yangchuanosaurus
14 yutyrannus
15 concavenator
16 majungasaurus
17 torvosaurus
18 irritator
19 rugops
20 australovenator

[short rover]

australovenator below fucking irritator megalosaurus and rugops is a travesty

[hollow flower]

Megaraptors seem to have inherited carch talk

Because theyre all fairly similar to each other (presumably)

The main difference is location and size mostly

[short rover]

maip has some difference just by it being big but mostly yeah

[limber nexus]

Yeah, but to be kinda honest the only Spinosaurids that really need to be in the game is Bary and spino

Sucho would be nice, but it doesn’t need to come to the game

[short rover]

i agree, sucho is a fun dlc imo

[outer moth]

In it, I would just do:
Giga/Mapu/Meraxes
Austroraptor/Ypupiara
Amarga/Bajda
Saltasaurus
Armadillosuchus
Irritator
As for minis:
*Jakapil *
Araripesuchus
Tetrapodophis
Overoraptor
And if Aviaries/Aquatics were a thing prior to this then also:
Tupandactylus (both species)
Tropeognathus
Aristonectes

[hollow flower]

My hot take is id like to see Sucho over Bary

[hollow furnace]

If we’re being honest Maip would work perfectly fine as a reverse Juxia

[hollow flower]

Yeah

[outer moth]

I would also prolly include Bonapartesaurus here since this could use a Kiritosaur

[hollow flower]

Bonapartes main appeal is being a full exhibit animal compared to its cousins

Considering ive never even heard of Ypupiara I dont really think an alt is necessary

[short rover]

my ranking for unconfirmed ones are 1. carno 2. alberto 3. (megaraptoran alt abomination thing) 4. cerato 5. yuty 6. conca 7. yang 8. majunga 9. sucho 10.rugops 11. giga 12. irritator 13. megalo

[hollow flower]

Oh wait Bonapartesaurus

[low bridge]

Taurovenator when?

Maip?

[hollow flower]

Not Bonapartenykus

[outer moth]

Hence why it could be in PK
Lesser known species deserve to be represented in PK

[hollow furnace]

Serious, Titanomachya?

Over like, Saltasaurus?

[short rover]

isnt it just a jaw

[hollow flower]

Saltas definetly a better pick on that too

[outer moth]

Didn't think of that at the moment, MB

[junior wasp]

What about confirmed ones?

[hollow flower]

Well

[short rover]

doesnt matter, theyre in the game / are going to be

[runic tiger]

What are some of yalls top terrarium animals you'd like added?

[hollow flower]

Most of the confirmed ones also have a date on them

[hollow furnace]

So many lol

[hollow flower]

Sharovipteryx

Love that critter

[junior wasp]

1. Big frog 2. Arthropluera (def butchering these) 3. Meganura 4. Epidexipteryx

[outer moth]

Anurognathus

Just a lil personal fav

[hollow furnace]

If I had to go top 5 (in no specific order), probably Anchiornis, Sinosauropteyx, Darwinius, Suminia, and Confuciusornis

[short rover]

suminia is a great pick

anurognathus gotta be up there

[open heron]

As far as stuff similar to what's already in, I'd be moreorless happy with the roster already if they add Diplocaulus and Anchiornis tbh.

[silver steeple]

Agreed

It's like my #2 personal want after Drepano

[runic tiger]

2 drepano please

Arboreal species and burrowing

Skybalonyx

[silver steeple]

Skybalonx is my #3 lmao

Love the funky little guy

[runic tiger]

Vancleavea too would be dope

[median relic]

no

those two are definitely not as influential as deinonychus lol

[tough marsh]

Galeops, Galepus, Galecheris, Galesaurus and Erithastoma

I think one species of Geikia also

Pretty intresting Permian/triassic lads that nobody talks about

[quaint plank]

What are they

I imagine one’s an amphibian

[lost saffron]

These two would be awesome in game

we need more Cenozoic carnivores than just the cats

[plucky mantle]

Daeodon and Hyaenodon from the roster getting cut and replaced with generic cat and rhino #3 was such an L

I don't even entirely dislike Panthera or Elasmotherium but like. How can you justify replacing Daeodon and Hyaenodon with them

[proper raven]

Remind me again what self-benefit does not showing the statistics of a Community Poll give? I am curious because at the end of the day this is nothing specifically serious as a poll at least in my opinion.

[median relic]

I mean I like panthera and elasmo but an entelodont and hyaenodont definitely should've been prioritized

especially with hyaenodon already having been in a good state

[plucky mantle]

the mammal roster we have right now is genuinely bad IMO like beyond the three mammals we started with and Paracer every mammal we've gotten felt like it should have been held off to make room for more unique and interesting animals

[median relic]

yeah like we have 2 true rhinos and 2 cats already. We haven't really gotten to any majorly unique extinct groups yet, no ground sloths, no glyptodonts, no mammutids, no entelodonts, etc.

[limber nexus]

I’m making a video on this poll

And obviously, I’m not hiding the statistics

That is extremely stupid

But I also don’t wanna just put a Google spreadsheet as that isn’t fun

And I ultimately think a video would be a way more entertaining process than showing off a list

Also genuinely what would be the point of making a pole if I wasn’t gonna show off the data?

The self benefit is the video

[tough marsh]

Nope basal small gorganopsian and Suminia relatives and an early mammel and a Dicynodont

[median relic]

(of course this is for when flyers are added) thalassodromids pleeeease

have thalassodromeus with 1 tupuxuara alt

[hollow flower]

Its currently pleistocene mania with mammals

[plush nacelle]

We obviously get panthera, because it shares rig and animations from cat rig

[toxic oriole]

OKay y'know what?
Canid representation

[proper raven]

ah, get it now but i guess the better wording is "self-satisfaction"

[ancient ibex]

Less advisor, more like "Crichton read Predatory Dinosaurs of the World and Dinosaur Heresies, and wrote pretending he was an expert"

And Predatory Dinosaurs of the World was Greg Paul lumping everything because Greg Paul; every metriacanthosaur was Metri, every ornithomimid was Ornithomimus, every Tyrannosaurine was Tyrannosaurus...

And I replied to old posts because discord, my bad

I couldn't find a more straight to the point video

So sorry for the korean

[hollow flower]

Greg paul seems a little odd in terms of a few of his takes

Also hes got the worst picture ive ever seen on wikipedia

Looks like one of those bigfoot sighting pictures

[left spear]

Tbh he wasn't even pretending, as much as i like them they reek disinterest for what the animals truly were.

[ancient ibex]

Greg Paul is a phenomenal artist, but he is no taxonomist

Michael Crichton's entire writting approach involved infodumping, but if you are a climate change denier you aren't really processing information

Hell, Jurassic Park is more of an unintentional critique of capitalism, despite it waxing on and on about "geneticists playing god"

[left spear]

Yeah

And not only that

Try thinking of an iconic non-horror Dino scene

I can only think of Ralph tbh

Maybe the mention of the Othinella strangling itself on a tree for how bizarre and kidna dumb It is

[hollow flower]

What?

[left spear]

In the books they mention one of the Othinellas (arboreal there) accidentally strangled itself on a branch while hopping from tree to tree, first not baby/embryo death in the park iirc

[ancient ibex]

The film is far better at the wonder part

[hollow flower]

Interesting

[left spear]

Tbh at everything but horror and roster

Both are still good tho

And i think that if we go by individual scenes the book is slightly better, it's just that it foils quite a bit when put together

Except that egg death injection raptor scene

Fuck that stupid thing

[left spear]

And side characters like Roland and Genaro, they're much better in the book.

[limber nexus]

Yeah, looking back at it. I probably could’ve phrased that better.

[ancient ibex]

Aenocyon, Epicyon, Dusicyon

[hollow flower]

Amphicyon? I guess?

Add the Ancerteral bacteria like organism to the game, and put it in a tank with water

[sage gull]

Nothosaurus

[wary nacelle]

Cygnus falconeri

[hollow valve]

Hello. It’s been a long time since I’ve come to this server but, I have two mammal suggestions.

Either Archaeoindris Fontoynontii or Sivatherium Giganteum, mostly because I feel like these two don’t get that much recognition and would be really unique additions.

(Image Sources: https://fossil.fandom.com/wiki/Archaeoindris , https://sciifii.fandom.com/wiki/Sivatherium_giganteum)

[median relic]

sivatherium is very fun

and I think you could dedicate a whole DLC to pleistocene madagascar

as you could with many other islands

[hollow valve]

Yeah. That would be a fun addition too.

I just feel like these two don’t get as much love, which is why I’m glad to have suggested them.

Meanwhile, Terrarium/Mini Exhibit Animals I’d suggest include:

• Leptictidium (Because they’d be too small for larger exhibits and would be a great Kangaroo Rat Analog.)

• Didelphodon (Similar reasons to Leptictidium plus how well it could work for a new kind of small exhibit.)

• Volaticotherium (Mainly due to the gliding ability making it able to be showcased like a Sugar Glider or Flying Squirrel.)

• Epigaulus (To be honest, I don’t recall horned gophers having much love and think they’d look adorable.)

• Meganeura (Mostly for a hypothetical new type of Terrarium that can showcase Carboniferous Fauna.)

• Pulmonoscorpius (Same reasons as Meganeura plus how well exhibited modern scorpions can be.)

• Arthropleura (Same reasons as the two above plus for a larger Terrarium Animal.)

• Suminia (Just for adding a more unique Synapsid when Paleozoic Fauna gets added.)

• Platyhystrix (Just for a nice amphibian inclusion.)

• Thrinaxodon (For a nice Cynodont Inclusion.)

• Either Morganucodon or Gobiconodon (For a more shrew-like mammal inclusion.)

Hope this helps. And you don’t have to add all of them either.

[plucky mantle]

Platyhystrix is actually definitely big enough to be a full exhibit species tbh and considering that Temnospondylids didn't really have a larval stage in the same way amphibians did it could 100% work as a full exhibit species

[hollow valve]

Got it. Sorry about that.

[heavy scarab]

I would like to see Leptictidium as well. But of course the two I still long to see are Diplocaulus and Beelzebufo which should've been at the top of their list in my opinion.
In addition if the recently extinct dlc does come out, the Passenger Pigeon better get in to.

[hollow valve]

Yeah that is a great point, especially given the current absence of amphibians in the current animal roster.

[heavy scarab]

When it comes to amphibians I just want the 2 I mentioned plus Koolasuchus as a regular habitat animal. It's okay if the latter is a post ea or dlc animal.

[sharp dock]

platyhystrix is a cool feller

[heavy scarab]

Platyhystrix is cool to and it's definitely in my top 10. The other 3 I mentioned are just further up the list for me

[hollow valve]

Honestly, I’d be fine with any amphibian being added in, especially since iirc Prionosuchus was on their list of planned animals.

Apart from Mammals and Amphibians, I think it could benefit from some Proto-Mammals as well, one I’d suggest being Purlovia, since I haven’t seen that one get much attention outside of ARK: Survival Evolved.

Image Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purlovia

[lean hound]

I'd love to see pk's take on this animal

Personally i hate ark designs

[hollow valve]

Yeh. I’m not that into ARK personally despite its variety of animal inclusions and, to be honest, I don’t recall Therocephalians in general getting that much love.

[sage gull]

Gigantoraptor

[hollow valve]

Why?

[quaint plank]

Why not

[hollow valve]

Why so?

[plain linden]

Giant murder chicken,what else is not to like?

[sage gull]

Who wouldn't want a giant turkey? lol

https://tenor.com/view/wait-for-me-im-coming-im-coming-for-you-wow-celebrate-gif-15968601485310155055

[hollow valve]

It’s a great suggestion, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t fully understand what sort of reasoning it would have for being in there apart from adding to the Therapod Roster.

[sand quail]

A giant turkey done right unlike this monstrosity

[hollow flower]

Idk jwe giganto is pretty good

[sand quail]

It's just the face looks off

[sage gull]

I really like the Ark one, although it looks like a chocobo lol

[plain linden]

atleast the wrists aren´t pronated

🙏

[hollow valve]

Yeah. It looks like it would be right at home in a Monster Hunter Game too.

[sand quail]

true

[plain linden]

atlough i see nothing wrong with the design asside from pinch of jurassic park salt

[hollow valve]

What about this design?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtOfCaYhjzk

[lean hound]

rare case of good ark design

minus the size

[hollow valve]

Yeh. ARK and JP were never exactly known for accuracy in either of those categories.

[heavy scarab]

I've heard Oviraptor itself is planned but if another oviraptorid is added later on, the Gigantoraptor would be the perfect choice 👌

[hollow valve]

What about Citipati, Anzu, or one of the other Oviraptorids?

[quaint plank]

Iirc they’re considering gigantoraptor for post ea

[hollow valve]

Yeh. I suggested Archaeoindris, Sivatherium, and Purlovia (along with the Terrarium Animals I listed) because not that many people usually consider them.

[plain linden]

funny enough,shant is not one of them

[quaint plank]

Magnapaulia is a skin for Lambeo tho

[low bridge]

Magnapaulia is way bigger than Lambeo

[plain linden]

i mean yeah,it´s GIGANTIC. but i just see is as bigger ed

either oloro or tsintao ngl 💔

[quaint plank]

My vote is Maiasaura

[heavy scarab]

I agree Maiasaura and Corythosaurus are at the top of my list

[outer crater]

The newer Ark designs are pretty good actually

[low bridge]

So i go fix the poll now

Fixed

😴

So let vote

[heavy scarab]

Those would be further down the list. If a 3rd oviraptorid got in, my choice would be split between Citipati and Chirostenotes.

[plain linden]

small hadrosaur detected,insert vote

[low bridge]

W rly need more ankylosaurids in game

Tarchia, Saichania

[plain linden]

my goat euoplocephalus

[low bridge]

Spy detected

[heavy scarab]

And more stegosaurs

[quaint plank]

Dacentrurus

[low bridge]

Adratiklit

[plain linden]

with miragaia alt cuz why not

[outer crater]

Pinacosaurus

[plain linden]

Also tuojiangosaurus cuz i keep saying 🎶Tuuojiiiiiiii🎶 for some reason

[quaint plank]

Borealopelta would be a cool addition too

[heavy scarab]

Aside from Stegosaurus itself my top 4 picks are Kentrosaurus, Miragaia, Wuerhosaurus and Gigantspinosaurus in that order.

[low bridge]

Gigantspinosaurus ain't real

[dire pawn]

Any kind of Megaraporid would be a good addition

[quaint plank]

Fukuiraptor

[lean hound]

You can’t go wrong with adding the largest of the family, Maip

[dire pawn]

Nah, it doesn't really have the large claws as far as I'm aware

Maip would be good as it seems to have the weirdest anatomy

[dire pawn]

replying to heavy man here, you sent you're maip message just as i sent mine about fukui lol

[wary nacelle]

HEAR ME OUTTTTT.
Australovenator
LONG LIVE AUSTRALIA

[hollow furnace]

Honestly with how little we know of megaraptorans, you could probably do Maip+another megaraptor as a Juxia-level-alt

[dire pawn]

Australovenator would be the best bet - its small so it doesn't distract from the other large carnivores, plus its got derived anatomy

[plain linden]

the fact that´s the smallest megaraptoroid (that i know of atleast),yet it´s still taller tahn us scares me 💀

[dire pawn]

there's jp raptor sized ones

Doesn't have a name though

[wary nacelle]

Plus… AUSTRALIA

[dire pawn]

That's the smallest one

[plain linden]

that´s still big as shit 😭

[dire pawn]

Yeah the man size scares me

[hollow valve]

I’d especially love Saichania. I haven’t seen it get that much attention outside of Dinosaur King.

Maybe Aletopelta too if possible.

[low bridge]

Orkoraptor when?

Orkoraptor is needed

[wary nacelle]

I wrote a whole short story today about a Leaellynasaura Runt who gets left by his family in the middle of the 6 month night, in the end he comes face to face with an Australovenator suffering from gigantism… idk why I shared this but 10/10 would recreate in PK if australo is added

[plain linden]

Gargoyleosaurus anyone? (late jurassic nodosaurid from the morrison no less)

[low bridge]

Polacanthus better

[quaint plank]

Gastonia

[plain linden]

mm yes utahraptor vs gastonia would be cool to see-

but also

Minmi.

[wary nacelle]

Antarctopelta (Antarctica superiority)

[plain linden]

Or stegouros
