Scrapped or Unused Creatures

Scrapped or Unused Creatures are creatures that simply didn't make the cut to the project, this includes simply unused creatures, unseen creatures, creatures with no name given, creatures that where supposed to appear on posts but got cut out, beta designs and more

## **Beta Creatures and Ideas**

**Notovenator**

Main article: Notovenator

Though this creature has indeed been used for the project its gone through some changes. The greatest being. As presented in the trivia section of the main article. The name changes, the original name for the creature was going to be *Titanoaustral melbourni,* and from there mutates into the modern name. The other two names where *Titanoaustral notovenatori* and *Notovenator australotitani.* The last one's species name being shortened to the modern, canon *Notovenator Australis*

**"Dryolestid"**

Main article: Dryolestids

An unknown sketch done by project creator JM was released onto the public on the discord server on 10/23/2022 with the only caption to the sketch being *Dryolestid*, this design, a bit altered, would still be used by JM. Amongst the (small) differences between the sketch and the final design are; An extra tooth between the canines and the molars was scrapped, the back spots where dropped for a more plain colour palette of varying browns across individuals, the more shrew like snout of the original was made into a more thick snout, more curved and robust more similar to a wolf, the beta design's paws had other two additional claws on the left and right on top of the three fingers in all of the feet, the final design's only presents one extra claw on each feet.

**Beta Xystonoglossus**

Main article: Xystonoglossus

The Xystonoglossus is a creature that actually has a whole bunch of history through the server's users, it first came up during a discussion on snails, and EpicJM even made some sketches with it's shell still on, it was planned to be in the same environment as (insert Africa post animals). Now the final Xystonoglossus is a non shelled, Antarctic slug, tho still serving it's "juvenille devouer" niche role in it's ecosistem. It's weirdly specific reputation of eating child pterosaurs has granted the snail many memes and recognisment in the Jurassic Impact server.

## Scrapped Creatures

**Indianochellis**

*Indianochellis Titanicus* is a giant species of tortoise endemic to what today is india, this endemism evolved after the big sauropods and stegosaurids went extinct leaving the niche of middle and high tree browser, they live 10 MYAI in the swamps and plains of the southern and central regions of the indian subcontinent, about 3,5 meters tall to the shell and 7 meters long

**Cosmopteryx**

*Cosmopteryx* is an offbranch of an antartic anurognatid song bird, they have evolved to use their feathers to impress the smaller females with their colourful paterns, they feed on small insects and berries from "fake flowers", they live in the swamps of the indian subcontinent and the females are about the size of a chicken and the males about the size of a big dog.

**Asiatijjoo**

*Asiatoijjoo* is a type of mammal native to the forest, floodplains and swampy terrain covering the center of the indian subcontinent, altought they look like badgers they actually feed more often of fruits, pine cones and other plants, also creatures inhabit within dug up burrows.

#### Contest Creatures

**Epistemepterus Pithecumimus**

This pterosaur’s relatives inhabited the warm and cozy trees from the rainforests of Antarctica. evolved from the weird, alien looking pterosaurs with long fingers and tetric looks. And who were isolated on Africa after the Gondwanan continent split up amongst the newer continents we know from the southern hemisphere, like Australia, Madagascar, South America and Africa, where this pterosaur evolved, here it was where the ever hotter climate the upper you went on the continent they evolved into being semi wingless and inhabiting trees, more like baboons and monkeys from our timeline, their eyes are ever more in front of their heads and evolving to be smaller do to the environment not being as dark as in Antarctica. This pterosaur was one of the many rejected creatures, it's not official but it's possible it was rejected due to the lack of knowledge about temporal location of Pterosaurs, although now as the date of writing a new intelligent Antarctic pterosaur was revealed, so a similar concept may rise in the future.

**Rhodocollornis Odontophoria**

is a large pseudo-bird native to the dry savannas and steppes of Central Asia. Appearance-wise, they are similar looking to a cross between a Cassowary and a Caracara, although much larger than the latter (1.3 meters tall). They have long, strongly built legs with sharp talons and short wings tipped with claws. Males have a blue crest of feathers with red throats surrounded by a yellow ring of feathers. Females tend to have more brownish gray- and copper-colored feathers & lack the male's colorful crests. This is an example of sexual dimorphism. This creature was made by both wiki writer JurassicParker11 and Santa's Apes (name as of writing this article) formerly known as Black Bolt Enjoyer

**Allotheridae**

These animals have evolved from capibara looking multiungulates and have filled the niche of our ground sloths. They mostly inhabit the seas but in the southern Brazilian deserts they have become terrestrial and use their buck teeth to eat only the hardest and least nutritious plants like our timeline’s trikes. They have evolved to grow even larger thanks for them to be adapted to the sea, they give birth, grow, eat, and mate in the sea (at least in the northern hemisphere) and they only go on land on counted occasions. They eat almost anything, some species eat crabs and use their chonky front teeth to crush their exoskeleton, others eat jellyfish and others kelp and corals. Throughout most species and subspecies, they stick in packs (like elephants with some packs being only males and other females and kids) but during mating season they convene into mega packs to both protect from hunters and find mates. The southern Gondwanan species are too specialized and are yet to see if they will be outcompeted by pliosaurids. This concept was undeveloped and rushed, also its wording is vague due to it being a Family more than a Genus. This concept might have been reused or subconsciously based JM into doing the Heliotherium, another Jurassic Impact ground sloth like creature.

**Calliduvenator Atrox**

These beasts are very reminiscent of coyotes, with their blond fur, canine profiles and niche being hunters of medium prey, but really are something else. They display their corvid-esque intelligence very often and very well, using tools and complex behaviors to make life in the harsh desert. But well get to that later. They live in rocky deserts in what is now south America, strangely enough, avoiding the Dune seas. They often take long, straight branches and sharpen them to points with their teeth to reach into prey burrows and pull out what their jaws can't. Another example of their intelligence is, oddly enough, their pack life: each pack is made up of a group of siblings, cousins, and strangers accepted in. The pack, being up to 70 members strong, establishes a territory of up to 200 acres a pack member, so at most, 14000 acres.

**Hematolestes Melanoerythrus**

These anurognaths are very similar to vampire bats, drinking blood from animals. That's it.

## Unnamed Creatures

**Generic Multituberculate**

Main article: Multituberculates

This "Generic Multituberculate" as it gets called in the Multituberculates article is a Multituberculate of an unknown size similar in proportions and appearance to a squirrel. It's rotten like appearance is the only hint of what size or behavior it may behold, it hasn't made an official appearance nor confirmed cameo, although similar creatures have been spotted as generic background organisms in posts like Iron Tusk: The Brutotheres Emerge and A North American Swamp. Although the creatures referred to be similar in nature to the Generic Multituberculate will have their own entries in the Unnamed Creatures section.

**Unidentified Water Pseudo Bird**

Main Article: Pseudo Birds

This *Pseudo Bird* made one cameo, non focused appearance in the post *A North American Swamp*, in which it was one of the many creatures merged into the beautiful scenery of the swamp. It's colours and appearance in general are a clear parallel to those found in Blue-footed booby, the beak specially gives off this. It isn't showcased in anyway interacting with the environment more than floating about like a modern duck or seagull. Although by its beak it is guessable that it's a carnivore due to the sharp edges of the beak, probably left overs after the beak fully fused with the teeth. Birds of prey such as hawks, eagles, owls and vultures have larger and more fleshy tongues so it's guessable that, due to the Seagull like tongue that it's a fish eater.

**Unamed Pre-Impact Mammal**

Main Article: Allosaurus

*"An Anurognathus watches while some small mammals, presumably Gobiconodonts or other Eutriconodonts climb on and scavenge from the rotten flesh of the Allosaurus."*

Unamed Mammals are seen in the first ever official Jurassic Impact post. Due to their small size and carnivore/omnivore diet it can be assumed that they are early *Gobiconodonts* or other *Eutriconodonts*, other theories include that they are the direct ancestors to the Atroxodons or that they could be early *Multiungulates*, the latter results relativelly unprobable. It appears on the very first post posted

**Unnamed "Hippo" Multiungulates**

Main Article: Diablosuchus

This "Hippopotamus-like" creatures are seen in the post about *Diablosuchus*, sharing the water with the fearful saurian, in the post they are mentioned to be similar to a modern hippo but way smaller, tho their group system and way of life is also similar to the ones seen in Hippos in our timeline. In the only post they have ever been.

## Unused/Yet to be posted Canon Creatures

**Notovenator**

Main article: Notovenator

*Notovenator* was a giant temnospondyl amphibian similar in size and diet to a modern day crocodile, which resembled our timeline's *Koolasuchus*. It was a mottled brown in color, with a large head and rounded snout. Its diet primarily depended on fish and other aquatic animals living in its swamp habitat. It is officially cannon as it was officially declared so by project head and creator JM and even has its own illustration fighting along with another austral amphibian, the reasons for it not being posted are unknown and it remains "yet to be posted", ofcourse it will remain so for ever as its cretaceous era is already far gone.
