Community Species Suggestions

[hollow flower]

Megistos main problem though is its similarity to Hyaenodon

I would still like to see it

[low bridge]

Olduvai Gorge is sicker than Ngorora

[outer moth]

Ngl most of these animals look so trippy in modern standards

Like cmon

We had elephant sized creodonts

Most look so familiar, yet so strange

[low bridge]

Let's add nothing and build exhibits for same animals for next 5 years answer

[quick ore]

What?

[low bridge]

Dude u want no more mammals to appear in game so what you gonna build in game?

[hollow flower]

Theres far better mammals to add than bear N.4

[runic tiger]

You guys there's a simple solution you're not seeing

Add every animal

🧠

[low bridge]

Pleistocene Africa was different in mammals ofc

Syncerus Antiqqus is needed

Sivatherium

[quick ore]

first of all don't call me "dude"
second of all, have you not seen me suggest all sorts of mammals before?

why do you keep capitalizing the second word in species names

[low bridge]

Bc extinct species of living genus like Panthera in game both extinct and extant

That's all

[quick ore]

Your sentence doesn't make sense idek what you just tried to say

capitalizing the second word in species names goes against binomial nomenclature

[low bridge]

Ok

Idc

[low bridge]

Chill down

[silver steeple]

This getting heated in the "throw animal names to the void and hope one sticks" fandom

[hollow flower]

Indeed

[neat iris]

These are just some of the animals on my wishlist

[short rover]

https://tenor.com/view/elephant-seal-godzilla-happy-feet-mm-gif-27239668

[quick ore]

also I wasn't having zero chill by asking to not be called "dude" it's just that I'm a woman so I would prefer to not be called that

[short rover]

Tbh EZ is heading towards a warning at this rate

[buoyant zephyr]

You don't say

[low bridge]

Sorry sorry i don't knowed at first

[low bridge]

I don't watch people profiles on discord so sorry if you want to ban just ban me

[plain linden]

Either that´s a big ass carnivore,or that´s a small ass elephant-

[low bridge]

Just ban me

Ban me once and for all

[faint snow]

3 stegosaurus species: S. stenops, ungulatus, and sulcatus

Shantungosaurus and Carnotaurus, maybe other abellisaurids

Like majungasaurus because I feel like the medium carnivores niche has not been filled.

[short rover]

Both

[low bridge]

Ban me pls

[quick ore]

if you want to leave so bad just leave

[quaint plank]

He wants a ban

[autumn plover]

Just go

[outer moth]

https://tenor.com/view/brontosaurus-dinosaur-prehistoric-kingdom-gif-14098895415891308794

Literally my reaction to that

[autumn plover]

?

[outer moth]

(It's kinda shitposty don't mind it)

(Not actually contributing anything until this topic changes)

[toxic oriole]

Insert Mega Mushroom sound effect here

[outer moth]

Cuz it just feels like something pretty rough is going on here so Imma wait before I can plug a species

[autumn plover]

Just do it anyway

[outer moth]

OMG IT LITERALLY IS THAT

Hmmm

I just want them to resurrect Cloverly after gutting it so bad in EA

Acro needs his friendgroup
Or should I say his own Whatsapp group

[autumn plover]

Idk now that Acro is slightly outdated im less bothered about cloverly, but I get what you mean

Saying that as Acro is my favourite dinosaur

[outer moth]

I don't care about the arguements that ppl have towards the animals of the formation (seeing as some of them are scrapped)

Deinon isn't exactly easily replacable by Velo

And the other species aren't exactly replaceable by any others

[autumn plover]

Yeah I understand that

[outer moth]

(In terms of rigging/niche in the game)

[autumn plover]

I’d argue Utah could fit in decently for Deinon, while being bigger. But yeah Teno was a complete and utter loss

[outer moth]

Tenonto is a good addition and I really want devs to rethink that decision later on after EA

[autumn plover]

It’s still the only animal of the 4 cut species that I really disagree with cutting

I wasn’t that bothered by the other 3 as much as Teno

[outer moth]

I want them to basically resurrect the FF in new and refreshed ways to make them feel unique

[autumn plover]

FF?

[outer moth]

Forbidden four

[autumn plover]

Oh

[outer moth]

The scrapped 4 species

[autumn plover]

Eh

Teno definitely

Thesc was cool

I’m not that bothered about the other two

[quaint plank]

I was gonna say FF meant Foo Fighters

[outer moth]

The only one I don't see coming back would be Notho

In favor of a cooler North American Theri

[autumn plover]

If you want a therizinosaurid you have Therizinosaurus, Falcarius, and even Beipiaosaurus that are better choices

[outer moth]

(cough Falcarius cough)

[autumn plover]

Not criticising the devs choices here, but frankly I’m surprised that Nothronychus was ever planned

[outer moth]

Ngl I liked their underrated picks

Helps the game not feel stale with the same old popular dinosaurs

[autumn plover]

It was defo underrated

But so would Falcarius

While being more distinct from Therizino

[outer moth]

By introducing new animals that not many ppl ever heard of

Remember

Roughly like, 90% of the world has only ever seen JP/JW in terms of paleomedia

[autumn plover]

Yeah

But I’d say Nothronychus and Falcarius

Are equally unknown

But Falcarius is more distinct from the popular Therizinosaurus

So I’m surprised the devs ever chose Nothro

Surely they had to have predicted if the game ever took off that they’d probably end up adding Theri at some point

So I’m just surprised they went with Nothro

[outer moth]

I feel like theri ought to get more material before being added to the game

[autumn plover]

Eh

It’s too iconic to not have

[outer moth]

It feels like there's something we're not seeing

About T. cheloniformis

[autumn plover]

How many dinosaurs have been in Jurassic park movie?

It’s a very popular animal

[outer moth]

Theri has only been in JW

And PhP

[autumn plover]

And chased by dinosaurs

[outer moth]

Rlly?

Didn't know that

[autumn plover]

Centrepiece of an episode

The old Nigel Marvin WWD spin-offs?

[outer moth]

But still
Theri is way too risky as of now to be added in EA

for sure

[autumn plover]

You should definitely watch it dude

[outer moth]

I definitely should

[autumn plover]

They did one about Giga/Argentino (back when Giga was thought to hunt Argent)

One about Therizino

And a think multiple episodes about the most dangerous seas

[outer moth]

Ngl

I don't get the Giganotosaurus hate

Yes it's popular

Yes it's a megatherapod

But it can always be added in a DLC

[autumn plover]

My thoughts on Giga are

Rewind 2 years ago

If you would have asked me Giga or Carcha I would have chosen Giga to be added over Carcha

It’s more complete and has better alt skin potential, and is more popular

But Carcha got added.

[outer moth]

I feel like Carcha got added purely to fit with Spino

[autumn plover]

And now the only reason to add Giga is to use its name recognition to milk fanboys and craft a dlc where Giga’s name recognition generates enough sales to pay for the addition of like 4-5 other genera tbat otherwise wouldn’t be popular enough to add.

[autumn plover]

And jpog

[outer moth]

I mean, Giga's one of the more complete members of the Carch family

Alongside Acro and Conca

[autumn plover]

Because being honest, you give Carch a bigger chin and ridges over the eyes you basically have Giga

The only thing it would bring to the game is name recognition

[outer moth]

I feel like they could put a lot more differentiation into Giga
Like some sort of back detailing and color palette/pattern changes to really seal the feel

Some people genuinely want giga and calling them fanboys really isn't helping the vibe of this community

Yes we have a lot of megatheropods

but

[autumn plover]

Eh, it’s only asked for because it’s popular 🤷

[outer moth]

Giga is just a part of many people's hearts, just like Acro is to mine

[autumn plover]

It doesn’t actually bring anything outside of name recognition

But use that name recognition

Milk the fans and get more animals into the game

Nothing wrong with having Giga as your favourite dinosaur, but it is what it is

[outer moth]

I feel like in terms of Megatheropods, all I need is giga and after that, I would be pretty satisfied on megatheropods in general

[autumn plover]

I think it’s coming anyway, but they should defo put some lesser known animals in whatever dlc it comes with

[outer moth]

Giga would absolutely sell a Cretaceous South America pack

Seeing as PK's DLCs have a lot more potential than PZ

[autumn plover]

If we ever do get Giga it would need to come with Mapu though

Giga could be solitary and Mapu could be social

And Mapu was the one that actually lived alongside Argentinosaurus

But again

Only to sell a dlc filled with other animals

[outer moth]

Said animals would be pretty good picks since Cretaceous SA is hella diverse
Early or Late, it doesn't matter

[autumn plover]

I don’t even think they need to be from Cretaceous SA

Just any animals that wouldn’t have sold a dlc on their own

[outer moth]

Cretaceous SA just sells it better
Cuz it has a theme behind it

[autumn plover]

Nah

You could put 5 animals that were all varying types of coprolite alongside Giga and the dlc would still sell just off Giga’s name recognition

[outer moth]

True, but I prefer this stick to the theme so it actually concedes well

That way the roster could actually be well-planned in advance

(I see this DLC happening after Aviaries/Aquatics for some sorta Tapejarid in said DLC)

[lean hound]

wow

[low bridge]

Cancer Centrosaurus when??

[hollow flower]

In my opinion I feel like the devs could sell dlcs with both cenozoics and mesozoics in the same dlc

[plush nacelle]

In my opinion no. Better to flesh out single thing than trying add everything at once

[hollow flower]

Fair

But lets say they want to add a madagascar dlc

[plush nacelle]

It would work better, if devs could magically make lots of animals at once

[hollow flower]

I would probably pick Majunga, Elephant bird, Archaeoindris, and then maybe Razanandrongobe, probably also a beelzebufo mini

Speaking of Razanan

What is it with giant terrestrial crocodiles only being known from skull material?

[plush nacelle]

Baurusuchus is big and relatively complete

Imo underrated

[hollow flower]

I thought it was related to Boverisuchus via the similar name

As it turns out it isnt

[plush nacelle]

It could be barinasuchus alt

Since barina is mostly reconstructed based on it

I got interesting idea for a poll with barinasuchus

[hollow flower]

Go for it

[plush nacelle]

Im making image

It is going to give people better idea

[hollow flower]

This is a question of which is more likely

In this case I will pick Sebecus

[sharp dock]

this is a man in a suit

[nimble void]

Oooo I love the prehistoric Crocodyliformes!! My fave is Kaprosuchus because of how many really cool unique traits it has, so I’m really hoping they add it one day! however palaeontologists have only ever found a skull so the rest of its biology is pretty speculative. Honesty I’d be happy with any unique crocodilians!

[sharp dock]

wasn't kaprosuchus actually aquatic

I mean semiaquatic like a regular croc

[tawny void]

A carnotaur or baryonix ☺️

[lean hound]

baryonyx is confirmed for ea

probably update 18

[plucky mantle]

Sebecus is superior because then you can put it in the same formation as Niolamia and if you have Niolamia you are basically required to include Meiolania which PK deserves because he is just a humble dude

[limber nexus]

Yeah, I love the current mammals in Prehistoric Kingdom, but something I would like are more unique mammals, as Paracera is the only one like nothing today

[plush nacelle]

Sarmiento formation has some fun minis

Peltephilus and Necrolestes

And largest madstoia species

[sharp dock]

Thanks grugalius

[left spear]

Probably was like a Cuban croc, so a lot more terrestrial than nile or salties but still very much semi-waterbound

[low bridge]

Pray for Stupendemys the turtle king

Pray for HIM

[low bridge]

Everyone pray for him

[hollow valve]

🙏

[lean hound]

🙏

[low bridge]

Now everyone watch this

Cute little turtle

[plain linden]

little doesn´t seem to fit on them

-# (get it?)

[hollow flower]

In terms of Mega crocodiles, which one should we get?

[quick ore]

Deinosuchus is a must

[hollow flower]

I must say I always found it to be the most boring of them but that is fair

Its definetly the most known these days I believe

Indeed it is

I wonder why its soared in search results?

[lean hound]

I'd prefer sarco and puru but deino is so popular it's needed if crocs get added

[plush nacelle]

Top 3 countries into puru are Brasil, Peru and Poland

[hollow flower]

Indeed

However Brazil is the only one where its the dominant search result

Peru is a draw and Poland has Sarco

[plush nacelle]

Nvm, Uzbekistan is top puru Country

No one search for deinosuchus out there

[silver steeple]

Likely because there have been a couple publications in the last few years + Ark added it within the last year or so

[autumn plover]

• the isle has had it for a while

I’d like Deinosuchus or Sarcosuchus most personally

[inner wedge]

deino with purussaurus alt would be ideal

leaving sarcosuchus out would be kinda a shame

maybe it'll join the clones like giga and ornitho

[plush nacelle]

All of them are to different from each other to be alts

[short rover]

Deino and purru alt wouldn’t work

[nimble void]

It’s debated whether it was primarily a land predator or semi-aquatic but the latter is the more widely accepted theory because it’s relative is Mahajangasuchus which is thought to be semi aquatic

It’s hard to be definitive though because we only have the skull

[flint sable]

sarcosuchus fell off so hard and its not even funny

[left spear]

The isle i imagine

[bleak garnet]

Dodo

[neat iris]

Is deinosuchus still confirmed?

[hollow furnace]

No

It was never confirmed

It is still predicted though

[neat iris]

Ah, gotcha

[neat iris]

Aviary wishlist

[short rover]

Tbh I’d rather have Ramph, pterodaustro, dsunga etc over hatze

At least for base game

[autumn plover]

Hatz is a my favourite pterosaur but I get what you mean

It’s not “classic”

[neat iris]

They’d be great too, these are just the species I want the most

[autumn plover]

But it is definitely needed as DLC

[neat iris]

Aquarium/semi-aquatic wishlist (again, just the ones I want the most)

Wait, I forgot one

[neat iris]

Terrarium wishlist

[deep lake]

Mononykus

[deep lake]

No dont let arthropleura be terrarium please
I want to make a big hapitait for my boy arthropleura

[neat iris]

Yeah, I didn’t want to put that one into the terrarium category, but compsognathus is going to be a terrarium animal, so…

[deep lake]

Well arthropleura is 2.7 meters long so it woutent make sence

And i dont know if i like tirarriums becaus i love to make a hapitait my self

[silver steeple]

Arthro would have to be a terrarium

The animation is too complex otherwise

[hollow valve]

I’d assume that’s mostly because of how many legs it has?

[hollow flower]

Legs mostly

That and its somewhat serpentine shape

Its why Titanoboa would have to be a mini aswell

[hollow valve]

On the bright side, it would make for a great Anaconda Analog for if anyone makes a reptile house.

[plush nacelle]

Give up then. We already know devs stance on arthropods

Straight up into terrariums

[neat iris]

Dammit, I forgot to put that one in there

[hollow furnace]

If you want to make a bigger exhibit you can just put multiple terrariums together too

Or just turn off the barriers and blend it into a larger implied exhibit

[limber nexus]

Deinosuchus might be coming already

MIGHT

[neat iris]

Dinosaur wishlist

[silver steeple]

What's the raptor and spinosaurid

[autumn plover]

Snout looks like Bary

Back looks like outdated Sucho

[silver steeple]

That's what I was kinda thinking lmao

[autumn plover]

I imagine if it’s Sucho, surely they must know Bary is confirmed

[neat iris]

Deinonychus and suchomimus

[autumn plover]

Good man choosing our boy Sucho

Goarn son

[neat iris]

Well I’m pretty sure baryonyx might already be coming

[autumn plover]

https://tenor.com/view/come-on-son-godku-hurry-up-son-follow-us-come-with-us-man-gif-23963498

[outer moth]

Deinon is good

[neat iris]

Paleozoic/Triassic wishlist (I didn’t include dimetrodon because apparently it’s very likely)

[left spear]

Awful lack of cotylorhynchus

[flint sable]

wher coty

[hollow valve]

On vacation.

[flint sable]

fair

[quaint plank]

It’s 100% likely

Infact, confirmed

[quick ore]

do we know how many alts it will have

because there is a ton of variation within that genus

[hollow furnace]

no

I'm personally really hoping for 3 alt species + a terrarium

[plucky mantle]

I want D. gigahomogenes because it has the funky sail and D. angelensis because it's enormous + one random smaller species

All the smaller ones are similar enough that you can really interchange them

[neat iris]

Cenozoic wishlist

[toxic oriole]

I can see Aenocyon Dirus in one picture, either Doedicirus or Glyptodon in another, Megalania in yet another, Gigantopithecus in one more, and what I think is meant to be Procoptodon? Deinotherium too and... Is that a mastodon?

I know theres two terror birds in there, don't know which ones they are

No idea if that last one is meant to be Josephoartigasia, even if it never was a capybara thats for sure.
A short faced bear of some sorts, probably a giant one

May have forgotten the names of a few of the animals

Wait a second arent some of those on the Post EA ideas list?

[hollow furnace]

First Image: Mastodon, Sivatherium, Toxodon, Dire Wolf, Gastornis. Second Image: Gigantopithicus, Phorusrhacos, Glyptodon, Short faced bear. Third image: Chalicotherium, (unsure, probably Eohippus or Hyracotherium, some sort of primitive equid or equid-like), (unsure, I believe Amphicyon), Deinotherium. Fourth Image: Procoptodon, Megalania, Thylacoleo, Diprotodon

[neat iris]

Eohippus and amphicyon

[neat iris]

Gastornis and Phorusracos

[neat iris]

Diprotodon

[neat iris]

Glyptodon; I’m pretty sure doedicurus is likely to be added

Wait, I forgot one

[hollow valve]

Yeh. I agree with this one for a wishlist.

[inner wedge]

how

[inner wedge]

i hope we get a trunked and trunkless skin for this one

[plush nacelle]

Alts in current form are boardline ,,reskin,, species or with very similar proportion to main animal.

Meanwhile puru and deino are distinguishable at first glance

[sharp dock]

to me they are the same

they are both big boyz

also it would be a shame not to give good use to a croc rig with the top 3 megacrocs (sarcosuchus technically aint a croc but still)

[lean hound]

neither is deino now

[smoky spear]

we need the sarcosuchus so i can get the sweet shared formation bonus with ouranosaurus

[sharp dock]

bonus as in free meal

[flint sable]

the schnozzler

[flint sable]

id hope they dont IMO

it would be kinda like adding a featherless skin to velo if they added a trunked one

since we are almost certain that it didnt have a trunk in life

im not stopping the devs or anything thats just my take

[smoky spear]

https://tenor.com/view/lord-farquaad-markiplier-deepfake-some-of-you-may-die-but-its-a-sacrifice-i-am-willing-to-male-gif-20850950

[quaint plank]

Replace deinotherium with platybelodon and I’m in

[smoky spear]

actually rethinking it

deino is better since it synergies with more animals that are in or are likely to get in the game

[deep lake]

:D

[hollow flower]

I feel like all 3 have enough going for them for them all to be added

The real question is if there are any other big crocs that should be added

[outer moth]

Not rlly

Besides Stomatosuchus or Fasolasuchus, there aren't many other large predatory pseudosuchians to really add to PK

[hollow flower]

I gotta agree

Although I would not include Fasola in there

[outer moth]

I'm honestly surprised they're sleeping on triassic herbivorous weirdos

[hollow flower]

Not because its a bad addition but due to how different it is

[outer moth]

True
In that case, some sorta large sebecid

[hollow flower]

Stomatos probably the other best one to add

And while this isnt a crocodile Phytosaurs aswell

[outer moth]

Eh, I see phytosaurs being a DLC addition

[hollow flower]

Specifically Smilosuchus

I mean

Most things discussed here will probably be dlc

[outer moth]

In terms of phytosaurs, I feel like only like, one or two species might ever be introduced

[hollow flower]

That is fair

Theyre cool but not that cool

[outer moth]

In my opinion, if they want more crocs, we could have something like Silesaurus or Desmatosuchus

[hollow flower]

Or more accurately they dont differ too much from each other

[hollow flower]

You mean Sillosuchus?

Sile is a dinosaurid type of thing last time I checked

[outer moth]

Yeah, the larger herbivorous weirdos

[hollow flower]

I gotta agree

[outer moth]

Sillosuchus

[hollow flower]

Sillo is great

It and a Lisowicia + Plateo would be an amazing combo

[neat iris]

I’m happy as long as we get deino and sarco

[hollow flower]

Thats actually given me a park idea

[hollow flower]

Im more of a Puru man myself but yes

[neat iris]

Hot take: I think we’re good on hadrosaurs and ceratopsians, at least for now

Cats too, although I wouldn’t mind homotherium or dinofelis

[hollow flower]

Oh for certain

Rhinos aswell

The only ones really left to add are Brontotheres

[neat iris]

Yeah

[hollow flower]

Which I do love but others need prioritizing

I should make a triassic wish list

Second favourite time period for me

[outer moth]

Hot take: we could use some smaller ornithopods

[hollow flower]

I must say Im not an ornithopod expert

[outer moth]

Campto or Tenonto could be some of those

Smaller tier species

(I mean, not small on our scale, but smaller compared to most other ornithopods)

[hollow flower]

Fair enough

Campto is pretty good

[outer moth]

As for ceratopsians, one more centrosaur would do for now

[hollow flower]

And I still do not understand the removal of Teno

[outer moth]

Do keep in mind there's a lot of megatheropod/sauropod bias

[hollow flower]

Campto however I would like to see later than something like Allo, Diplo, Cerato

[outer moth]

I feel like it could come alongside those animals you listed

[hollow flower]

Yeah thats fair

[outer moth]

Seeing as those are all Jurassic

[hollow flower]

Oh and Stego

[outer moth]

Stego's in EA

[hollow flower]

Speaking of which we do know when Allo and Stego are dropping

[outer moth]

EA

[hollow flower]

Which is together

exactly

[outer moth]

Possibly next year

[hollow flower]

So this really is just Diplo and Cerato

Id like to see some small carnivore from the Morrisson too

Be it Ornitholestes or Stokesosaurus

[outer moth]

Diplo, Cerato, Guanlong, Miragia are the 4 that are from the original roster

[hollow flower]

Yes

Miragaia/Dacentrurus might also be from the Morrison

[outer moth]

Not rlly

that would be Alcova

[hollow flower]

I heard theres some talks it might be Dacen

[outer moth]

Alcova is the one from the Morrison

[hollow flower]

Unless im misremembering

I think it was just the presence of a dacentrurine

Either way I wouldnt really count it as a morrison creature

[outer moth]

The dacent merge debate is pretty hard since it proposes both that Mira is a junior synonym of Dacent

Though we don't know if that's truly the case or not

[neat iris]

Speculative recently extinct dlc I made almost three years ago now; I guess you could call it a wishlist

[outer moth]

I mean, minus the eagle n SSC, it's accurate to the original DLC concept

(Yes the original concept had the HE and SSC but now those might not be in the RE DLC)

[hollow flower]

I must say I have become a huge fan of the Haasts eagle

If there was an animal I was most excited for purely due to the fighting capabilities they could do Haast is at the top

[outer moth]

It's just that the Haast's eagle and Sea cow are animals that require aviaries and aquariums respectively, so I wouldn't be surprised if they came later than the rest

[hollow furnace]

Hopefully the last update of this year, 17

[hollow flower]

That is fair

Elephant bird could probably also make it into the RE

[outer moth]

Pidgeon can stay since they can be a part of the new terrariums system

[hollow flower]

However its a little too similar to Moa

So you could probably put it in like an island pack or something

[outer moth]

I prefer Moa first tbh
Aepyornis could come later

[hollow flower]

I gotta agree

Moa are a little challenging due to the sheer diversity of them

[outer moth]

I say just stick to a specific bodytype and do 3 species of that

Since Moas have many phenotypes

[hollow flower]

Yeah

I think ive discussed this before but it should be

[outer moth]

Genus Dinornis has 2 species so that'll work

[hollow flower]

Dinornis robustus/novaezealandiae, Pachyornis australis/elephantophus, Megalapteryx, and Anomalopteryx as a mini

Although if I had to remove one of these Megalapteryx is going first

[silver steeple]

Not rhinos

[hollow flower]

Also it should be the alt of Pachyornis

Oh yeah

Theyre more horses than rhinos

Fascinating

However I would still sort of categorize them as rhino like

[silver steeple]

Yeah still perissodactyls, but closer to horses

They're very rhino-shaped yes

[slim flare]

Elephant bird…

[outer moth]

Remember, it's a 3 animal limit, so it's hard to include ALL 9 species

So I say just to keep Dinornis to 2 species

[hollow flower]

Yeah

[outer moth]

Pachy already has 3 species

[hollow flower]

At most have 3 genus of moa excluding alts

The mantell moa is kind of mid so id say have the upland moa instead

[outer moth]

Here's the tree so that you know what to make into alts

[neat iris]

They did???

[outer moth]

Yeah it had those animals in the concept art

For the DLC

Goal wan't really met

[silver steeple]

It and special exhibits were the only stretch goals not met

And we already got special exhibits

We do know that RE is planned to be one of the first major dlcs

[slim flare]

Ranger was unlocked…

[hollow furnace]

And kill

Along with disasters

[outer moth]

It's back now, though probably with the exception of the Sea Cow and Eagle, of course

Unless devs figure out both aviaries and aquatics before RE

[hollow furnace]

Which they will not if RE is one of the first DLCs

[slim flare]

Kill?

[hollow furnace]

As in ranger mode was killed

[heavy scarab]

I have a random question, it has been speculated that Palaeoloxodon will eventually be added. I know this means the Dwarf Elephant will likely be an alternative species but which exact species of the regular Palaeoloxodon will the other be?

[hollow flower]

I imagine antiquus

[hollow furnace]

I feel like it’s potentially be a three-species falconeri, antiquus, and namadicus

Dwarf, standard, giant

[inner wedge]

don't care + headcanon, maccy WILL have the trunk whether you like it or not

[short rover]

trunked maccy is cringe and bad

[hollow flower]

I have to agree

[inner wedge]

trunked maccy was promised to this game 2 million years ago

[short rover]

nuh uh

[plush nacelle]

I ve got a feeling that dwarf paleos cant work as alts to big ones.

But thats just me

[hollow flower]

I feel like the new neoteny system could definetly make it work

[plush nacelle]

Interesting idea on paper, but in practice extreme size difference would require different animations for both

[silver steeple]

The new FP mode is basically that tbh

[quick ore]

but Juxia?

is Juxia not a Paraceratherium alt

[hollow furnace]

Kind of, in a much reduced form

No vehicles for instance

[silver steeple]

They even said that they hope to make it so you can interact with the animals

They said that the only way we get vehicles is for players

So that would basically be the same deal

[autumn plover]

I tried to send this list of suggestions for Paleozoics and mesozoic non-dinosaurs. I doubt we’ll get many, so I tried to make it the most important:

And yes, im aware that Postosuchus and Placerias/Lisowicia are on the post EA ideas list.

[silver steeple]

Size isn't the only reason things will be in terrariums

[autumn plover]

Fair

It would be nice to have something from the Carboniferous

[silver steeple]

Difficult to animate stuff (like snakes and arthropluera) would also be in them

[autumn plover]

That makes sense

[silver steeple]

I have no doubts we'll get at least a couple big carbo bugs

[twilit tartan]

and critters with fucked up reproduction like Every Amphibian or Non-Livebearing Fish right

[silver steeple]

But they'll all be contained in terrariums

Not every amphibian

[autumn plover]

Especially an arthropod, which are kind of the poster children of the Carboniferous.

[silver steeple]

Temnospondyls have very normal growth cycles

[autumn plover]

What do people think about the other suggestions.

[silver steeple]

They don't undergo metamorphosis

[hollow furnace]

they are bound to water though

[twilit tartan]

i don't think i mean that? i'm referring to the fact that most amphibians, temnospondyls included, still do gelatinous egg masses and small larval gilled forms

[silver steeple]

Yes

[silver steeple]

I don't see how eggs play into this

We don't have anything on breeding yet

[twilit tartan]

harder to do "nesting" when the eggs are tiny and barely visible and also can't just pop into existence

[silver steeple]

Droid is correct that said eggs would be water bound though so there would have to be something going on there

Well if it's a mass of eggs just make it a mass of eggs

The individual eggs may not be super visible but if there's like 100s you're gonna see it lol

[twilit tartan]

fair

although then you still have to figure out how the larvae work - would they just "spawn in" as their land form?

thats the other thing, i imagine there would be a pretty big size disparity between adult and hatchling

[silver steeple]

Tbh idk if we know what temnospondyl babies would be capable of

[twilit tartan]

at least some have like, weak skeletons and gill arches

so there was probably some water-land transition going on iirc

[silver steeple]

Plus I'm pretty sure most of the animals in the game's babies are too large to be hatchlings/newborns

[twilit tartan]

fair
in that case mayhaps they could just start with their terrestrial stage

[silver steeple]

They're all like at least a couple months old I believe

[outer moth]

I'd say roughly 1 1/2 month old for all species

[steep crane]

Mechanic-wise, Arthropleura would have to be a terrarium animal.

[autumn plover]

Yeah I know now.

I kind of regret suggesting Arthropleura as everyone seemed to hyperfixate on it belonging in terrariums instead of discussing the other species

[steep crane]

Lystrosaurus ngl might be better than Diictodon as a burrowing terrarium.

[plucky mantle]

Lystrosaurus is taco sized.

[autumn plover]

Or what other paleozoics would be a good choice

[steep crane]

Not the type species.

[hollow furnace]

Depends on species

Most are not

[plucky mantle]

No but no reason to limit it to a terrarium species when it has species big enough to be fully exhibit species

[steep crane]

murrayi is the most popular species and it’s a burrower.

[autumn plover]

Lystro to me is like the workhorse of them, its definitly not the most popular but was so widespread and successful it kind of works as good padding.

+incredible alt potential

[plucky mantle]

I'd much rather have some more small exhibit species + more temperate/arid species so going with one of the large Lystrosaurus as a full exhibit species feels much more useful than picking the type and slapping it in a terrarium where it'll get way less use than a full exhibit species

[hollow furnace]

It technically has zero alt potential based on what we consider alts

Because it only has one species large enough to be a full exhibit and terrarium animals don’t have alts

[autumn plover]

oh right, thats a fair point, i'd say its a worthy addition regardless

especially alongside Placerias/Lisowicia

[steep crane]

Plus given Thrinaxodon is essentially hinted at, Lystro would go with it in a formation.

[plucky mantle]

Lystrosaurus is probably the most well understood Dicynodont and also by far the most well known

it would be really weird to not include it in some way

[autumn plover]

What do people think of my other choices?

[steep crane]

Really good.

Anteosaurus would be a welcome choice as well.

Along with Cotylorhynchus.

And Estemmenosuchus.

[lean hound]

and it was like 95% of earth's animals of once point

[autumn plover]

Unfortunately I know that Mau doesn't like Coty so I wanted my list to be realistic

[steep crane]

Lystrosaurus had the adaptability of a raccoon.

[steep crane]

Hasn’t stopped the dev team in the past.

[plucky mantle]

Besides the obvious another reason I always liked Coty is you can totally give it Casea as an alt species

[hollow furnace]

Casea is tiny

[plucky mantle]

Casea is four feet long

[hollow flower]

I would say have Liso with a Placerias alt

the problem is Liso is very unique in terms of dicynodonts and its not due to the massive size alone

The straight legs of it give it a rather unique posture

[steep crane]

Anatomy-wise it wouldn’t work with an alt.

[hollow flower]

Precisely

This makes dicynodonts a little difficult to work with in terms of additions

[autumn plover]

hence why I say either Lisowicia or Placerias

not everything needs to be an alt lol

[autumn plover]

You sound as if alt potential is a requirement, when it's just the cherry on top

[outer moth]

Yeah, not every species needs one

One example?

Deinosuchus

Or

Therizinosaurus

Those animals definitely don't deserve alts despite having adjacent species/genera linked to them

[autumn plover]

^

[outer moth]

Deinosuchus and it's other species just aren't different enough to be seperated

And Theri is weird enough on it's own, what if new discoveries completely overhaul the animal?

[autumn plover]

i'd say the only time alt potential counts for/against a potential addition is when it's neck and neck against another potential addition.

[outer moth]

That or if it has distinguishable enough species (via ontogeny)

[outer moth]

Diicto

Simply due to the fact that diictodon is more iconic

(Thanks to WWM)

And plus, most Lystrosaurs are big enough to be habitat animals

[autumn plover]

I’d rather get Diictodon in the terrariums, the big species of Lystrosaurus and either Lisowicia or Placerias as full additions.

[ancient ibex]

That's more of a restoration preference if anything tho, we lack hip material

[hollow furnace]

I mean, all derived dicynodonts have upright hind limbs, that’s not the unique part of Lisowicia

It’s the upright stance of the forelimbs that’s unique

[ancient ibex]

We have a humerus and a partial shoulder blade IIRC tho; can't really check that in depth atm tho

[plush nacelle]

Nuh. Theri is prime alt material. In game animal would be either big alxasaurus or nothronychus with different claw shape. In this case devs could literally scale down one skin and it would work as other species

[silver steeple]

I hope you realize that was almost certainly a joke

[silver steeple]

They are by size but that's about it

[hollow furnace]

It's not a joke, but also not enough to genuinely mean it won't come

[silver steeple]

Somehow I doubt that it isn't a joke

Very much something that Mau would joke about to illicit a reaction from the denizens of #pk-discussion

[hollow furnace]

He absolutely does joke about it

But he also does genuinely dislike Coty

[hollow flower]

I wonder why

[hollow furnace]

He thinks it looks ugly

In a bad way

[hollow flower]

Strange

[safe kestrel]

he cant stop coty

like the whole galaxy tried to stop lisan al gaib

[steep crane]

Most Lystrosaurus species aren’t.

Literally the only reason everybody thinks Lystrosaurus is generally large is because of WWM oversizing L. murrayi.

Even the one large species isn’t really as well studied.

[hollow valve]

To be honest, the Walking With Series in general has had a notable history of over sizing/undersizing animals.

Cough Cough Practically 100 Foot Long Liopleurodon Cough

Not to mention I think there are a number of other Synapsids that could fill in a hypothetical Lystrosaurus Role.

[steep crane]

This is universal knowledge.

I don’t understand everybody’s objection to a terrarium Lystrosaurus.

[plucky mantle]

I think I laid it out pretty clearly why I object to it before. L. maccaigi is large enough to be a full exhibit animal. The game desperately needs more small exhibit animals. Exhibit animals are more useful in a park and the game could always use more temperate/drier climate animals.

I'd rather they save terrarium species for animals that won't work well outside of them, because let's face it, terrarium animals will always be less impactful to a park because of the limitations they have. Throwing a species in a terrarium that could work very easily outside of it feels like it's making the animal less useful than it could be

[neat iris]

My most wanted species: Gigantopithecus, Dire Wolf, Quetzalcoatlus, Therizinosaurus, Mosasaurus, Deinosuchus

[steep crane]

Come to think of it it might be L. curvatus that was the big one.

Yet even it was tiny.

[hollow flower]

I think its just that when I think of a terrarium sized dicynodont the first thing that comes up is Diictodon

[plucky mantle]

??? It's literally over a meter long in this image and considering it doesn't have the tail of Psittacosaurus it'd be very comparable in size if not slightly larger

Also multiple sources I've found indicate L. maccaigi is the largest species and got over 2 meters long

even the DeviantArt page your L. maccaigi artwork is from says that lmao

https://peerj.com/articles/10408/ this paper also discusses how several other species of Lystrosaurus were likely in a similar size-vein to L. maccaigi and L. curvatus and that we only have juvenile specimens and that even the largest L. maccaigi specimens are not fully grown

[kindred jacinth]

tbh i want terrarium animals like compies and lystrosaurus to be able to run free and be wild exhibit creatures. it would be very funny but also it would probably be hell to deal with

[cinder python]

I know we are a long ways away from aquatics but I love Crinoids especially Scyphocrinites one of the largest I think we have a 5 star animal on are hands

[plucky mantle]

Scyphorchrinus unfortunately did not actually float like this

but the longest echinoderm ever was a driftwood specialist crinoid

[cinder python]

Even if it just sits there on the floor I still love it

[plucky mantle]

https://www.scup.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1502-3931.2007.00011.x adding onto this, this article talks about how L. maccaigi could get over 3 meters long

so yeah. Literally no reason to stick a 3 meter long animal into a terrarium I'm sorry

[hollow furnace]

Tiktaalik

[plucky mantle]

Yeah I still think Tiktaalik is a dumb decision to be a terrarium species but I also get why they did it. Not really a reason for Lystrosaurus

tbf they did also go within possible estimates for Tiktaalik, they didn't just shrink it down to fit

[quick ore]

So long as they could make baby Lystrosaurus work, I see no reason why it couldn't be an exhibit animal. I mean they lived in large groups too right? So a terrarium wouldn't even suitably represent how they lived in life

[steep crane]

They were burrowers though.

[plucky mantle]

Being a burrower doesn't mean they have to be in a terrarium

Psittacosaurus is a burrower

[autumn plover]

Velociraptor, Leallynasaura, Psittacosaurus

[steep crane]

Secondarily.

It didn’t have the right adaptations for digging.

Lystrosaurus was likely a digger on the other hand.

[quick ore]

if Psittacosaurus wasnt a burrower, then wtf was it doing in the winter

there was snow and it is almost entirely naked

[steep crane]

Secondarily

It wasn’t digging burrows but it was most certainly using them.

[quick ore]

oh fair

[neat iris]

What about you guys?

[plucky mantle]

Either way being a burrower is not grounds for terrarium-hood on its own lmao especially not an animal over 6 feet long. Thescelosaurus and Leptoceratops would be burrowers and neither would make any sense in a terrarium

Can't have Megatherium or a Glyptodont either if burrowers have to be in terrariums

[quick ore]

same with plenty of modern animals like warthogs or aardvarks

[tidal estuary]

Megatherium, Macrauchenia, kentrosaurus Elasmosaurus, and some giant lemurs. Can't wait to see u18 animals though

[naive storm]

yes

[hollow flower]

That is quite an impressive result

[steep crane]

Megatherium wasn’t a burrower..

[hollow flower]

Which of the ground sloths was then?

[plush nacelle]

Mylodontids were prolly more suited to digging

So generally these feeding close to the ground

Think about something like scelidotherium

[steep crane]

Glossotherium.

[steep crane]

What evidence suggests Leptoceratops was suited for digging?

[hollow furnace]

It's found in burrow complexes, and has forelimbs adapted for digging

[steep crane]

I see.

[hollow flower]

An underrated marsupial I would like to see is Palorchestes

Much like Macrauchenia it seems its more likely to not have a trunk but It still looks fairly unique

[hollow valve]

Ya know, this would actually be a really great addition in an Australia Themed Pack.

[neat iris]

I’d love titanoboa, but idk how they would handle that

Like would it be a regular animal, or would it be in a really huge terrarium?

[hollow furnace]

Terrarium animal

It’s actually very well sized for the large terrarium

Snake enclosures should be about as long as the snake is and half as wide as the snake is long

The large terrarium is slightly shorter and slightly wider

[neat iris]

Which reminds me, I forgot to put tetrapodophis on my terrarium wishlist

[lean hound]

how large is the large terrarium?

[hollow furnace]

8x12 meters

[hollow flower]

Tbf I feel like Titanoboa should still get a larger terrarium

Just for more opportunities to maybe blend it into an actual exhibit

[outer moth]

While Titanoboa may be hell to rig, I feel like it should be a habitat animal
Seeing as devs don’t seem to be increasing the terrarium sizes anytime soon

[neat iris]

The only way I can picture that happening is by building an exhibit and putting a bunch of null terrariums in it

[hollow furnace]

It will not be a habitat animal, period

[hollow flower]

I was gonna say no dinosaur game has made a working snake playable/animal

But I think beasts of bermuda has one

[neat iris]

Idk why, but it feels a little weird that we got deinocheirus before therizinosaurus

And we don’t even have theri

[hollow furnace]

Deinocherius can use the large theropod rig, theri would need its own rig most likely

[neat iris]

Fair

[short rover]

deino is also cooler

[outer moth]

Btw would theri do a sitting animation when eating?

Or has that myth been busted

[inner wedge]

am i the only one that thinks the way they showcased terrariums is weird?

like do we really need them to be that big?

[neat iris]

It’s probably the only way certain animals can be placed in them

[inner wedge]

yeah but the terrariums are way too big imo

and some of the animals don't really fit in them

or wouldn't

[plush nacelle]

Terrariums are pretty much right size for animals these are supposed to include

[obsidian crescent]

Your the only one

[hollow flower]

You guys reckon the May dev blog shows that new terrarium creature?

[outer moth]

Doubt it

[plush nacelle]

Even smaller terrarium size could benefit something like beelzebufo, sharovipteryx and longiqsuama

But we aint getting these for a while

[outer moth]

At best, May devlog will show paleobotany, galli, and possibly some WIPs for enrichment

[hollow furnace]

No terrarium showcases until at least after update 15

[hollow flower]

Damn

[silver steeple]

Half counts, but the Ark Survival Ascended Gigantophis mod works fantastically

[median relic]

a very good one at that

[neat iris]

DLC idea: primates

Gigantopithecus, Dinopithecus, Darwinius, that giant lemur I don’t remember the name of, and idk what else

[left spear]

Palaeophis

https://youtu.be/ASLprnH2W8o?si=es6C_ktvOXtJ3R7d

Peak movement tbh

[left spear]

It's not that they can't do It, It just isn't worth it

Spending 10 months making slither movement so you can use It in 5 snakes and arthropleura isn't really worth it

Terrestrial snakes sadly fall into the way to unique to truly represent them in-game tier

[plush nacelle]

Why people insist so much on titanoboa having larger terrarium

Realistically this animal would lie in its puddle 20 hours per day

[safe kestrel]

because its not nice to put a snake on small box

it doing more harm than good

[plush nacelle]

Just because 96m2 is small box

[sharp dock]

Realistically reptiles being regarded as lazy in terrariums are a result of poor husbandry and snakes actually can be quite inquisitive when given a habitat of proper proportions, they are just not given the chance

[outer moth]

Titanoboa is such a vexing creature

Seeing as it is big enough for regular ontogeny

at the same time

hell to animate

[nimble wedge]

agreed

[silver steeple]

As Droid as pointed out multiple times now, the large terrarium is well within AZA standards for a snake as large as titanoboa

[hollow flower]

Wow that actually looks really good

[tough marsh]

missed the lystro convo by a bit but heres how they scale

[quick ore]

Lystro definitely deserves to be a regular exhibit animal I want a big herd of them following around Placerias/Lisowicia

[slim flare]

Yes

[steep crane]

Which is which?

[tough marsh]

top is Lystrosaurus maccaigi bottom left is Dicctodon and right is Lystrosaurus declivis

[steep crane]

Have we ever had any genus that didn’t include it’s type species?

[plucky mantle]

You are really really grasping at every straw to justify Terrarium Lystro huh

[steep crane]

It was a fair question.

[plucky mantle]

And the answer is yes, Ursus and Panthera, and Psittacosaurus originally but it was changed before release to include the type species as well as P. sibiricus

The obvious reason being that most Dinosaurs rarely have more than one species assigned to them whereas it's very common in almost every other section of Paleontology and the vast majority of the roster right now is Dinosaurs.

[steep crane]

I see.

Although I wouldn’t say Ursus and Panthera count on account of their type still being extant.

[feral cedar]

yes

Microraptor’s type species is M. zhaoianus but the game exclusively uses M. gui

But that’s it

I do remember that the old list had Edmontonia as E. rugosidens while the type species is E. longiceps

[slim flare]

Ursus and Panthera would like a word with you

[feral cedar]

extinct genera

[heavy scarab]

Extinct species, the genera are still around

[feral cedar]

mb I meant like

I was only considering extinct genera

[heavy scarab]

No problem buddy. It is interesting to know that there are prehistoric animals so closely related to modern species

[slim flare]

Soon

[steep crane]

Alright, fair enough.

Honestly if that’s the case then I guess I wouldn’t mind L. maccaigi

Remind me is it a Permian or Triassic species?

[hollow furnace]

Permian

[steep crane]

What are the reproductive habitats of Dicynodonts anyway?

[plucky mantle]

We really don't know because there is no fossilized eggs of any Non-Mammalian Synapsids but a large majority of Lystrosaurus fossils are of juveniles so they likely did not take very good care of their young.

[quick ore]

I mean their eggs would also be soft shelled if they did have them which would make preservation less likely

[steep crane]

Are pelvic bones any indication of live birth?

[quick ore]

not really, since early synapsids would have had tiny babies I think

like that fossil of an early mammaliaforme (I think?) with a ton of babies that all looked like mini adults

oh it was Kayentatherium

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0441-3

Here we present what is, to our knowledge, the first fossil record of pre- or near-hatching young of any non-mammalian synapsid. A large clutch of well-preserved perinates of the tritylodontid Kayentatherium wellesi (Cynodontia, Mammaliamorpha) was found with a presumed maternal skeleton in Early Jurassic sediments of the Kayenta Formation. The single clutch comprises at least 38 individuals, well outside the range of litter sizes documented in extant mammals.

[plucky mantle]

yeah this is why just didn't explain it

[wary nacelle]

Enantiophoenix electrophyla for terrariums (trust it might have eaten sap)

[quick ore]

we don't even have its skull though

[steep crane]

Soft shelled eggs are probably a safe bet for dicynodont nests.

For Lystro and Placerias.

[heavy scarab]

Would Henodus make a nice Amphibious Terrarium animal?

[plucky mantle]

It's unlikely it went on land at all

or if it did only very rarely

[quick ore]

I want Diplocaulus

[hollow valve]

Why?

[quick ore]

it's an iconic Permian species and would be perfect as a terrarium animal

[short rover]

Because it’s cool

[hollow valve]

I mean what would a valid reason for it be.

‘Because it’s cool’ is not a valid reason.

[silver steeple]

It's a unique animal

Funny boomerang amphibian

[hollow valve]

…….

[hollow furnace]

It's a very popular and well known animal, with a very distinctive appearance, in what will be a very popular Paleozoic formation, that fits perfectly as the semi aquatic terrarium

[hollow valve]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-a-winner-winner-trophy-you-won-first-place-gif-23448011

To be honest, I would love for it to be added in too. I’ve just seen it pop up a lot in other suggestions.

[quick ore]

I will be honest

Diplocaulus is such an iconic animal it feels more like an eventuality than a possibility

[hollow valve]

I can wholly agree with that. That’s why I didn’t suggest it myself because it already feels really likely to make it in.

[short rover]

It is tho?

[hollow valve]

It’s vague, it could be used for literally anything, and it’s been done to death as a reason/an excuse.

[heavy scarab]

Diplocaulus is one of my personal favorites as well along with Beelzebufo for its not even a question that they need to be in the game

[plush nacelle]

Beelzebufo honestly would need extra smaller terrarium size for stuff like it and other tiny animals like longisquama

[silver steeple]

Simple

Just put like 20 of them in there

I do think it would be nice if there was a smaller terrarium size though

[hollow furnace]

The giant eocene frog is like 3 bones

Or just one lol

[flint sable]

on the topic of unnamed stuff, I really really hope they either name the St Bathans Mammal or find more material then name it

not a good addition for PK though IMO

just in general

[slim flare]

Gigantofrogus maximal

[steep crane]

Probably better for when they add an aquatic selection for terrariums.

Like fully aqautic.

[toxic oriole]

Gigantobufo
Yeah nevermind with bufo

[steep crane]

Like Terrestrial, aviary, amphibious and aquatic.

[silver steeple]

Probably later on

The new system allows for that a lot better than before

[flint sable]

hear me out

Maxi mum

theres already a frog genus named Mini with 3 species

Mini mum
Mini scule
Mini ature

[left spear]

I mean if drinker exists i don't see why Maxi can't

Tbh i would be funny if they added It as a generic giant frog and just named It giant eocene calyptocephalella

Also It has a surprisingly high ammount of paleoart for such a "Gluppshito"

[plush nacelle]

It is really big frog tho

[left spear]

Oh yeah not trying to say otherwise, but it's on a similar note to like Oxalaia of "It probably was a cool animal, but essentially non-existant"

Well it's a bit better, since the fossils is still there

But you get it

[plush nacelle]

Plenty popular species like this

Besides the T-word not that much

Almost all popular fragmentary dinos are atleast like 12% found

GEC is literally a single bone

Also with Hatz we have close relatives

Hateg proper is 2 bones

[left spear]

Twice as good then

Also the closest thought relative is Calyptocephalella gayi

[plush nacelle]

Indeed a frog

Isnt that the same thing that happened to Oxalaia? I don't remember

[wary nacelle]

Guh

[wary nacelle]

I solely base my decisions on what I want to add based on what dinosaurs I like… and dinosaurs I like sadly don’t have many bones—

[left spear]

I mean really we don't have any non-avian dinosaur bones

[deep lake]

rugops

[smoky spear]

This chat has been quieter than usual lately since ez left

[autumn plover]

He actually left?

That’s wild

[outer moth]

I could fill in but I'm not one who tends to make massive wishlists

In my opinion, I'd just like some more terrariums n filler small species such as Deinon, Sauropelta, Tenonto, Kulindadromaeus and the like

Just to balance out the sheer amount of large heavy-hitting species

Thesc, Troodon, Citipati, Anzu, Austrolovenator, you get the drift

I'm all for giant species like Sauroposeidon, Shantungasaurus, Giganotosaurus, and the like, but those really only sell DLC by name alone

(You can tell I'm a bit of a Mesozoic nut)

I'm not that big on Cenozoics, however, I feel like the Paleogene-Neogene era needs representation since at the moment, it's one of the least speciose eras in the game (Alongside the Triassic, Permian, and the rest of the Paleozoic)

Paleogene/Neogene currently only has roughly 3 genera in game, two of which are alts of existing genera
If any predictions are correct, that number is due to change to at least 4 genera by release

Which, isn't exactly a big change

But let's be honest, the Paleozoic boutta have less, since by the end of EA, it'll total to around 2 measly species, both of which will be terrariums

(That being the Mystery Permian animal and Tiktaalik)

[lean hound]

the cenozoic is lacking in most eras imo

[short rover]

Dinosaurs and Mesozoic creatures will always have more rep in pk

[open heron]

(and mesozoic creatures?)

[short rover]

As in Triassic animals, big crocs, pterosaurs, marine reptiles etc

[open heron]

like 95 of the mesozoic creatures we get will be dinosaurs so I don't think the distinction's really accurate

maybe 80% if we're counting the aquatics and fliers we might get as content down the line

[short rover]

Was referring more so to aquatic and flying species as well

[lean hound]

I don't mind dinosaurs getting the most attention but the mammals are mainly just a cooler variant of living animal

The game could do with some funky fellers

[hollow flower]

I do prefer mammals

[short rover]

I adore mammals and palaeozoic creatures are cool, I just think people should have more realistic expectations for what the finished roster of the game is gonna look like

Devs have always planned a mammal minority since the beginning

Which is partially sad because the Pleistocene is my fav time period but dinosaurs are obviously very charismatic and a big draw for a lot of people

So it does make sense

[hollow flower]

Fair

But one of the big selling points of this game is the inclusion of mammals compared to most other

what would you call it

dinosaur genre? seems a little broad

[short rover]

I agree there as well

[hollow flower]

Either way I dont know too many other games that include mammals or non mesozoics

[plush nacelle]

There is study on this

Fun one

[short rover]

Question for everyone on this thread: what are your guesses for the 5 unknown terrarium animals? The “arboreal lizard” “fuzzy Triassic” “semi-aquatic mammal” and the two “funky dinosaurs”

My guesses are coelurasauravus, thrinaxodon, didelphodon, heterodontosaurus, and shuvuuia

[hollow furnace]

Drepenosaurus, Thrinaxodon, Didelphodon, Heterodontosaurus, Halsakaraptor

[plush nacelle]

Halszkaraptor, anchiornis, interatherium, drepano, thrinaxodon

[short rover]

Is thrinaxodon your Permian animal then? As well as a “fuzzy Triassic”

[hollow furnace]

I’m somewhat thinking that that may not be binding, but essentially

[short rover]

What’s interatherium?

[plush nacelle]

Otter-like notoungulate

[short rover]

Which pick is the Permian then?

[plush nacelle]

Thrinaxodon

[short rover]

Hmm trug

[plush nacelle]

I personally believe permian animal died with diictodon

[short rover]

I think the Permian and fuzzy Triassic will be different

[short rover]

Could be

[hollow flower]

If im understanding this correctly "Adversaries" means enemies, Tools means something along the lines of ark and collectables is something like pokemon?

[plush nacelle]

Yes

[hollow flower]

Il make this in a format of which I want VS which is more likely

[plush nacelle]

My main grip with didelphodon is it sharing diet with halszka

[short rover]

Yeahhh that’s why I didn’t pick halza even tho it would be an awesome pick

[hollow flower]

Sharovipteryx/Coelurusauravus, Thrinaxodon, Castorocauda/Didelphodon, Shuuvuia, Daemonosaurus

[short rover]

The semi aquatic mammal eating fish just seems the most likely to me

[hollow flower]

For the dinosaurs it is near impossible to pick something that is more likely due to their abundance

[plush nacelle]

I wouldn't be surprised, if mammal was herbivore. After all it is supposed to be obscure

[hollow flower]

Therefore I went with only things id like to see

[short rover]

Sharovipteryx as the “lizard” is a bit of a stretch imo but maybe

[plush nacelle]

I also think there are 3 species per terrarium type lol

[hollow flower]

Lizard is a pretty general term

Although

Ozimek might be a better fit

[short rover]

Also @hollow furnace is bos officially confirmed for post ea like dimetrodon?

Or have the devs just said they they’d “like to do it” or something

I can’t find the original message

[hollow furnace]

It was revealed as part of the post EA ideas list

As in it was unblurred, unlike the others

[short rover]

got it

[hallow mango]

I cant find the message either but iirc it was either Ida or Mau that said horses and Bison would be comming to the game in the same sentence lol

[hollow furnace]

That was different, that was horses and quagga for recently extinct dlc

[neat iris]

Yes, I think they meant the Equus and bison species of La Brea

[hollow furnace]

They did not

Latifrons, one of the bison species, is from la brea, but nothing has ever been said with regards to getting specifically la brea horses

[left spear]

My god i just checked and they actually did

When how and why It happened?

[cinder python]

Samotherium more mammals

[short rover]

Happened a few days ago. People told him he was annoying and then he kept spamming that they should just kick him in pk discussion to which people got fed up and told him that if he wanted to so bad he could just leave so he did

[austere echo]

far to many creatures i love to see in pk

[short rover]

True

[austere echo]

from the smallest insects to that massive albatross looking bird

wich the name escape me at the moment

[steep tulip]

Pelagornis?

[austere echo]

think so

[steep tulip]

Definitely a great pic, tho we will have to wait a while before it comes to the game
Same with other big flying and aquatic animals

[short rover]

Bird picks big enough for larger aviaries are kinda just relegated to Argentavis, pelagornis, and haasts Eagle tbh

[austere echo]

dimetrodon would be cool as well

[short rover]

Dimetrodon is confirmed to be coming sometime after early access ends

[median relic]

guys how would we like a "previously dubious genera" dlc (assuming they would actually turn out as valid)
nanotyrannus, troodon, dracorex, and sigilmassasaurus

[austere echo]

cool

[silver steeple]

Goofy premise ngl

[median relic]

I was half joking yes

[short rover]

Imaging a casual gamer looking at the dlc list gazing upon the dubious species dlc

Truly a sight to behold

[median relic]

but like if these genera are real, they're pretty cool

[silver steeple]

Eh

[austere echo]

as much as i dont like them irl i would not mind to see the massive prehistoric snake in the game

[median relic]

idk name it like "resurrected pack"

[short rover]

🤷‍♂️

[short rover]

So many other dlc premises I would prefer

[median relic]

oh yeah def, I meant it as something of a C list pack lol

[silver steeple]

Troodon would be hella generic, dracorex would look like jr pachy/stygi, we don't have a clue what Sigil looks like beyond being a spinosaurine (which would be the same as the Spino we already have in game basically)

Nano would still look fairly similar to teen rex

[short rover]

I’d want a troodontid in base game anyways

[silver steeple]

So if you want a pack of clone nobodies sure I guess
