Ogresuchus’ name comes from the speculation that it might have been eating young titanosaurs in the nesting ground where it was discovered, like the baby-eating ogres of legend.

17. Blathers

Hear me out! Imagine a moveset where Blathers can summon a plethora of fish and insects and his Final Smash could be sending forth a stampede of living fossils! His moveset would be high-concept, but I think it would be awesome!

Fasalosuchus was one of the biggest rauisuchians (maybe the biggest), at 8-10 meters long. It’s H in this figure, check out the scale bars to get an idea of the size difference.

F is for Fasolasuchus (B in this pic), a very distant croc-relative from the Triassic of Argentina. It’s in a messy part of the tree we sometimes lump together and call “Rauisuchians.”

C is for Caipirasuchus, a crocodyliform from the Cretaceous of Brazil with particularly weird teeth. Most crocs are homodont (all their teeth look kind of the same), but Caipirasuchus is heterodont.

It's T-Bones & Grounda! This duo of dinosaurs can split the earth, uplift fossils and cause volcanic eruptions with the synchronized stomps of their feet...and they're about as opposite as opposites can get! But, where do their allegiances lie...

gen 8! this one was a bit easier to narrow down than gens 5 and 7, but still has some really good ones. the other fossils, mr. rime, and dottler's family all came close but i think this selection feels solid.

Xenoceratops foremostensis - one of the oldest known certapsid dinosaurs from Canada. Discovered in the Foremost Formation in 1958 by Wann Langston Jr, the specimen was in very small pieces so it wasn't until 2012 that the fossils were recognized as something new
