I was looking at the skulls on one of these bone-huts and was thinking "huh cool, there used to be horned theropods in Vana'diel" and then I *remembered* and was like "oh right..."

Disappointing, when one searches for "paleontologist" in stock images, you largely get pictures of men in cowboy hats or colonial pith helmets, searching for theropods, in a desert.

(disclaimer, very small portion of palaeontologists actually do that)

Most advanced theropods belonged to a group called Tetanurae (meaning "stiff tails"). This clade contains all animals closer to birds than ceratosaurs back to their most recent common ancestor. Tetanurans share a number of defining traits like having 3 or fewer functional fingers

My memory theropods aren't that far off. This means I should draw some more ornithischians from memory and see how wrong I can truly be.

Something kinda funny about having grown up at the height of “this giant theropod is bigger than T.rex,” only to have the majority of studies/estimates sink that idea and now T.rex is as large as, if not more massive than, it’s fellow megatheropods later in life.

bicentisimus, the forgotten theropod of the Morrison Formation! The Morrison has multiple large theropods, but we also have a more slender, mid-size predator in there that doesn't get a lot of love!

Sue step-by-step restoration.🦖💻
ℹ️Note: we found that at the rear end of the jaws there is not enough space to contain the outer skin folding in. So, the cheek extending down from the jugal is similar to what is found in living theropods.

-and elongated metatarsals (middle foot bones), it had long legs that were well-adapted for running! It would've used its speed to hunt small and nimble animals, as well as avoid most of its fellow Morrison Formation theropods, who likely saw it as prey! (2/2)

reconstruction of one of the first large-ish carniovorous dinosaurs! Herrerasaurs sit very near the base of the dinosaur tree, and there has been much debate over whether they're early theropods, basal saurischians, or something else entirely!

I am indecisive, but I really like gigantoraptor (other various theropods are up there too)

"Pride"
Part of my Dinosaur 7 deadly sins illustration series. Carnotaurus are one of my favorite theropods. But their goofy bodies were a pain to draw haha
(And If you watched have a 🍪 & be my moot )

Because all other theropods have Powerpuff Girls-styled nub arms

Day 6: Bouquet. Protarchaeopteryx, unlike most feathered theropods, actually feasted on plant matter and was at least an omnivore if not a complete herbivore!

2 predators, 1 prey (both theropods hunt different growth stages of the same prey). Gourmands, with their impressive bite force (stronger than T. rex) and intelligence, Cutlasstooths with their saber teeth, and Lumbers with their huge size and neck scutes.

My adventure picks were already mentioned, so I'd like to add TEoHB (), Blood Nova
(), Highlighters () & Theropods ()

And 's frog game (also - tagged!) https://t.co/U3HrDFotsY

Wanted to practise my hand in drawing other theropods, and I had to draw my favourite boy from "The Devils Demons"
