Torvosaurus was a giant predatory megalosaurid dinosaur. It was not only sturdy and powerful but also could move quickly. The tools it used for hunting were also formidable. Therefore, it stood at the top of the food chain and was one of the fierce local hunters.

Ignych is a combination of "Ignite" and the Greek word "Nychos" (Claw).

Nychos is based on Afrovenator, a Megalosaurid theropod that lived in Middle Jurassic period in Africa, hell even its name translates to "African Hunter". It also draws minor inspiration from Dracovenator.

Magnosaurus was THE first megalosaurid fossil found and documented in 1923! Despite being found first, we have very little information on magnosaurus itself but based off of its younger cousin megalosaurus we can assume it was a scaled, apex predator. 🤓💖

The votes have spoken.

Megalosaurus; the first non-avian dinosaur to be named and the animal that helped to coin Dinosauria. Overall it was your typical Megalosaurid; a long body, strong stout legs, and a large rectangular skull filled with large, knife-like teeth.
