Charmeleon is awesome, I don’t know what it is about it that grabs me but something just clicked the first time I saw it and my opinion has never diminished. I’ve always seen it as a weird little theropod, like a retro-dromaeosaur. It’s almost a shame it turns into a dragon! 9/10
Day 13: Compsognathus
Mistaken though this is a chicken-sized theropod, now believe it’s a Turkey-sized adult, since the original latter is a juvenile.

Meet the common wyvern, an omnivorous dog sized flying non-tetanuran theropod, all Wyverns are venomous which is often uses to kill prey in a more monitor lizard way, they have keratin supports that help make the wings become more rigid and a long tail that tells their status.
Despite being considered a "small" theropod, #Deinonychus manages to outweigh us and many extant terrestrial carnivores. With a estimated of 75-100 kg of mass, MCZ-4371 is the largest known specimen, measuring at at 3.77~ in length.

Dino Fact!
Chindesaurus (Chinde Lizard) is a herrerasaurid(?) from Late Triassic North America! Its taxonomy is rather hard to pinpoint! It's mainly been considered a herrerasaurid, but some theorize that it was really a basal theropod, which - (1/2)

Seems twitter just like to crap details on pictures, so here are close ups of the new Tyranno I drew, is probably the first time I added noticeable scales on a theropod, I think the result is kinda mixed as on a more far view the scale lines just pixelates the skin a lot.
Time for #TurkeyDay🦃, or maybe you prefer to eat another theropod, I have some recommendations.
(Ok on second thought completed this sooner than expected) a Mamenchisaurus decides to take a snack for the road after coming across the carcass of a theropod, though his diet largely consist of plants a little extra source calcium never hurt anyone
The famously misunderstood Jurassic theropod, Dilophosaurus, has been revamped!
The under-appreciated Morrison theropod, Torvosaurus, has received a revamp and a new speculative feathered skin, because why not?
The famous horned theropod, Ceratosaurus, has also received a revamp!
@PermianSailback @OOCMesozoicLife The Land Before Time sequels also put two fingers on every theropod, T-Rex or not.
Dino Fact:
Procompsognathus (Before Elegant Jaw) is a coelophysoid from Late Triassic Germany. It was named after a similar theropod, Compsognathus, though Procompsognathus probably wasn't actually Compsognathus's ancestor like the name would suggest.

The color scheme remains largely the same, but the rest of Dimetrosaur's design has been altered entirely. The anatomy is a mix of synapsid and theropod, with fanged teeth, half-sprawled hind limbs, and integument that is a mess of scales, bare skin, hair, and primitive feathers.
Megalosaurus seems to be your rather ordinarily typical theropod, but it was the first non-avian dinosaur ever to have its own genus name. It was named back in 1824, and was once believed to have been a giant lizard (which we now know it wasn’t)!
Bonus one cus I'm in a good art mood!
*This ones just a token theropod, you can choose the species x)

For #TheSummerOfTheropods, I’ll be introducing our first “controversial” theropod, #Saurophaganax, the “lord of lizard eaters”, a large allosauroid dinosaur from the Morrison Formation of the Late Jurassic of Oklahoma. Art by Hellraptor Studios
