Monstrum entry 5+6: the Archedrakes and their Dicynodont steeds. The primordial race before the Dragonborn, now buried beneath the soil of modern Dragonborn kingdoms. Stories tell of warriors rising from the dead, defending their long passed rulers, unaware of the passage of time

Beaks have appeared separately numerous times in tetrapod evolution. I have depicted 5 examples here: dicynodonts (top left), pantestudines (center), rhynchosaurs (top right), shuvosaurid pseudosuchians (bottom left) and ceratopsian dinosaurs (bottom right)

Morning warmup sketch for I was thinking of this scene where a Pristerognathus (therocephalian) chases a Diictodon (dicynodont) that was caught too far out of its burrow. Permian (Capitanian) of South Africa.

Only three groups of Synapsids/therapsids survived the end-Permian mass extinction event into the Early Triassic: dicynodonts (top), therocephalians (center), and cynodonts (bottom). Only the latter (our relatives) survived into the Jurassic.

As expected I couldn’t stop thinking about the newly described GIANT dicynodont Lisowicia, and started sketching. I imagined a couple of them on an tranquil Triassic afternoon surrounded by coelophysioid dinosaurs and probably a large temnospondyl

Today I bring you an assortment of Triassic dicynodonts: Dinodontosaurus, Lystrosaurus, Angonisaurus, Ischigualastia, Myosaurus and Kombusia. All these and many more will appear in my book. Dicynodonts are distantly related to us mammals.

WIP Its so here is an indeterminate Sinokannemeyeriine dicynodont from the Lipovskaya Fm. Not a mammal nor a cynodont but a distant relative therapsid from Early Triassic (Olenekian) Russia. One of the approx. 20 spp that will appear in my book
