Ceratosaurus

A side view of a full-grown Ceratosaurus dentisulcatus

### Key Features

Scavenger with crests on skull supporting another keratin crest, dark brown fur, throat pouch in males

### Extinction

Food chain collapse of the Jurassic-Cretaceous Mass Extinction

## General Information

A late Jurassic descendant of the relatives of Dilophosaurus, Ceratosaurus was a larger and more buffed version of its very ancestors. It was not quite as large or powerful as Allosaurus or Torvosaurus, but it's jaws delivered a deadly bite and it could chase down dinosaurs such as the Dryosaurus and unwary Compsognathus. Some strains of Ceratosaurus may have occasionally hunted in family packs of up to four.

## Design

The Ceratosaurus is one of the more wacky designs of DinoCoat's dinosaurs. It has a completely brown color scheme and has fur on top of its scutes. The one produced by tracing has a hot pink throat pouch. That is not the strangest part, however. It is the head crest, having a golden spike in front, attached to the top jaw beak, and two horns protruding above the eye. A light blue section of crest connects from the nose horn to the eye horns both ways.
Phocoena

Side view of a Phocoena sinus

## Information

The vaquita is a critically endangered species of porpoise that lives in the northern part of the Bay of California, with an estimated ten to twenty individuals left in existence. The reason it is on the brink of extinction is that it is often bycatch for illegal fishing nets, which are designed to catch another endangered creature, a fish known as the totoaba (Totoaba macdonaldi). They also have a small range, which also contributes to their low population. Vaquitas are not picky feeders, eating small aquatic animals from crustaceans to fish to octopuses and squids. They grow to approximately 4.5 feet in length, or 135 to 140 centimeters.
Caudocetus

Side view of a Caudocetus elongus

## Information

Caudocetus elongus

(Meaning "Long Tail Whale")

Caudocetus elongus is a species of cetacean descended from the Bowhead Whale (Balaenamysticetus) ten million years in the future. It has evolved a similar body type to the Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus) of today, but has notably shorter fins and a large tail. This large tail is used for locomotion while the arms are used only for steering. Caudocetus elongus grows to around seventy feet in length and feeds on plankton and microorganisms in subtropical oceans.
Branta

Side view of Branta arizonansis

## Information

Branta arizonansis is a large goose, with a torso as wide as a small car, and growing several feet in length, descending from today's Canadian Goose. It is in competition with the late hominid and basal synapsid dinosaur Parapithecus, occasionally getting in fights with them to protect their nests from raids. This member of the genus Branta is able to efficiantly conserve energy during its seasonal biannual migration and has been known to travel as far South as northern Mexico during the winters.

## Design

Branta arizonansis has a broader skull than its ancestors, with appendages jutting out on the lower jaw that appear to be cheeks. These have no known function besides for display and additional muscle attachments. This goose lacks sexual dimorphism and has a similar pattern to its ancestors, besides for having its white around the sides of its face instead of the back of the head.
Atelopus

## Information

The Chiriqui harlequin frog is a toad that lives in streams of wet forests and rainforests within the Cordillera de Telamanca mountain range in Costa Rica and western Panama. Males measure up to 1.3 inches in length while females are slightly larger and measure up to 1.9 inches in length and have stripes. Their coloration is highly variable and they use their weakly-developed glands to produce tetrodotoxen, the same poison that pufferfish and blue-ringed octopuses use. They are critically endangered due to habitat loss, threats from introduced trout, and an infectious disease known as chytridiomycosis, which is caused by chytrid fungi such as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans and kills many amphibians worldwide.
Cyanocitta

Side view of a Cyanocitta stelleri

## Information

Measuring just over a foot long, this relative of Cyanocitta cristata (the Blue Jay) is found throughout North America west of the Rocky Mountain Range. It may occasionally hybridize with the latter wherever they overlap their ranges. Typically omnivorous, Steller's jays will feed on nuts, seeds, berries, and other fruits as well as insects, small reptiles, rodents, and eggs in the coniferous forests which they live in. Steller's jays are characterized by having a blue body with a black head, sometimes having blue or white markings on the head. They are in the family Corvidae, which includes crows, magpies, jackdaws, and ravens.

## Design

Steller's jays typically have a blue body with a black or dark-brown head. The head has a feather crest.
Euaresta

## Information

Euaresta festiva is one of nearly five-thousand desceibed species of tephritid fruit fly present in today's Quaternary. The eyes of this North American species range from orange hues to blue and green in color. Adults are characterized with their yellowish-orange thoraxes and spotted black-and-white wings. While they fly through fields, meadows, and streamsides in the summer from July to September, their larvae overwinter by parasitizing the seeds of a single species of Giant Ragweed, Ambrosia trifida. The larva of Euaresta festiva pupates in the spring after it lives off of the seeds, and continues the insect r-strategist life cycle.
Quetzalcoatlus

Quetzalcoatli migrating in the KT-Extinction event

## Information

Quetzalcoatlus northropi was a pterosaur from the late Cretaceous North America and was in the family Azhdarchidae. Quetzalcoatlus was the largest known pterosaur, having the wingspan of a small airplane. Baby dinosaurs and carrion were among its favorite menu items.

## Design

Quetzalcoatlus northropi is depicted having a brown coat of fur and a smooth crest with dark stripes on it. The wing membrane on Quetzalcoatlus is shown being connected to the legs and tail. Their is a large layer of fur by the throat, likely used for display as several birds do today.
Anarctos

Side view of an Anarctos macrognathus

## Information

The Bear Lion is an advanced species of Neoursid from "temperate" parts of the supercontinent Afroeurasia (Africa, Europe, and Asia joined together) some 47 million years AD. The global climate has rapidly cooled due to the gradual lowering of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and wind currents, leading to an event known as the "New Pleistocene." The Bear Lions have scaled their body size up to the height of a man and have thickened their fur, giving up their slender and agile bodies in favor of insulation. Their claws have lost the ability to retract, being worn down while walked on. Bear Lions have ultimately switched from a fisher niche to a scavenger niche along their evolutionary line, thriving off of the high number of carcasses left behind from unfortunate animals that freeze in the harsh blizzards. As of the "New Pleistocene" event, the Bear Lions are still widespread even as they have competition with the larger azhdarchid-sized Giant Padded Vulture, Ephippitavis figidus.
Deinofonspteryx

## General Information

Deinofonspteryx ostiumus was a species of prodragomorph which was introduced on April 22, 2017. It evolved from Gigatyrannus flightoravoroes. Although not much is known about it, Deinofonspteryx is shown with wings in the shape of a bird's and has a fancy tail display, most likely used for courtship. Deinofonspteryx ostiumus is not often used and is usually forgotten about.

## Design

Like Gigatyrannus and Maritisaurus, Deinofonspteryx has two sets of arms, or four wings in total. It is mainly a light green in colouration with stripes that gradiate from purple to scarlet, and leg feathers. It has curved thimb toes that closely resemble those of a dromaeosaur, and a large red throat pouch.
Felis

Side view of a Felis domesticus

## Information

This drawing here is a speculation of how invertebrates in the distant future would reconstruct the partial remains of the Domestic Cat, Felis catus domesticus, from a skull, incomplete arm and leg bones, and various vertebrae. Having no prior knowledge of vertebrates, it would have likely been reconstructed in a very strange way. Here, antennae are shown in what would be the nose and are also shown on the forehead. The skeleton would be reconstructed as if it were a strange exoskeleton, and parts harder to understand would be placed elsewhere, such as many of the vertebral bones being used as extensions of mandibles, flexible enough to catch prey and draw it in. The front pair has teeth on the underside which were used for crushing its unfortunate victims. What would have been the ears has hairlike structures going out of the hole, used for feeling the air and for sexual selection. The shoulder bone has been duplicated several times and is used for all the legs, which number six in total along with a pair of wings covered by segments. This shows how easily a simple fossil could be understood and how many features could have been left out of an ancient creature we could have found. Happy April Fools!
Dromaius

Side view of a Dromaius novaehollandiae

## Information

Commonly known as the emu, Dromaius novaehollandiae is the second largest extant ratite, after the ostrich (Struthio camelus). Emus are in the family Dromaiidae and are part of the order Struthioniformes. As of now, emus are currently native throughout the mainland of the continent Australia and are distributed in zoos around the world. Emus are also occasionally kept as exotic pets, and have been known to befriend animals of other species such as donkeys, cats, and dogs. Like the related cassowary, the emu has sharp claws on its toes, used as a defensive attribute kicking wounds on opponents and predators.

## Design

Dromaius novaehollandiae is shown with a blue-and-black head and neck with a light-brown body, covered with feathers except at the beak and legs. The arms on this bird are rather small as it is flightless, no longer needing them. There is a hump on the emu's back that helps it balance with the lack of a tail.
Eodraconis

* Eodraconis rexus
* Eodraconis nyctodiablos

Side view of a male Eodraconis rexus

### Key Features

Visible dimorphism between sexes, large but dull crestal horns, large-sized wing-like appendages

## Information

Eodraconis rexus is a prodragomorph within the genus Eodraconis.

Eodraconis was a genus of tyrannosaurid dinosaur. Possessing a pair of wings, it may have been related to dragons and wyvern alike. Genetic analysis suggests that it branched off from Gorgosaurus about 78 million years BCE. The scientific name "Eodraconis rexus" means "Dawn dragon like-tyrant" in Latin.

Prowling on the eastern coast of what is now North America, this carnivore fed on a multitude of prey, including various hadrosaurs and ankylosaurs. The green coloration on males in the summer helps to disguise as a tree and can attract a mate. This dinosaur will also molt its coat into a yellowish hue in the cold months.

Eodraconis rexus wasn't the only winged prodragomorph of it's time, however. There is a mainly nocturnal species of Eodraconis nyctodiablos, as well as Gigatyrannus flightoravoroes and Deinofonspteryx ostiumus.

## Design

Eodraconis rexus has sexual dimorphism, in which the males have a brilliant green-and-purple plumage during the mating season and a winter molting that looks similar to the female's pattern but more yellow. The female Eodraconis rexus has brown fur with stripes that consist of black and white. Eodraconis rexus has a large pair of wings on its back, although not capable of true flight.

## Gallary

### Diet

Carnivore- Scavenged off of carcasses and hunted smaller dinosaurs such as juvenile hadrosaurs and weak dinosaurs

### Key Features

Duller fur, nocturnal, reddish markings, pale skin

## Information

Eodraconis nyctodiablos is a species of prodragomorph within the basal genus Eodraconis. Eodraconis nyctodiablos is noticeably more nocturnal than its relative Eodraconis rexus. It is also related to the lineage of wyverns, a group dragons which mainly lack forelimbs but retain their back wings. Eodraconis nyctodiablos has greater vision in the dark than its daylight cousin, and is notable for its skinnier limbs and more drab markings.

## Design

Eodraconis nyctodiablos has fur that is colored mainly a brownish-grey with some red stripes on the back. The skin of Eodraconis nyctodiablos is more pale than its cousin's.
Scutosaurus

Side view of a male Scutosaurus karpinskii

## Information

Scutosaurus karpinskii was an anapsid reptile from the Late Permian. It likely had to watch out for larger predators such as the infamous Inostrancevia and other large gorgonopsids of its time.

## Design

Scutosaurus karpinskii had a scaly brown body with legs slightly darker than the torso. The underbelly of Scutosaurus was a lime green with a few black spots occupying spaces here and there. The male variety has a nose horn and a facial pattern similar to a red-earred slider turtle's.
Velocinychus

Side view of a Velocinychus gorgodon

## Information

Velocinychus gorgodon was a pseudocanid that lived 20 million years in the future, 15 million years after Lupomimus. Velocinychus was the apex predator of its time, taking down its prey by ambush and brute force. It had two sets of canines in its jaws, and the incisors are foward-facing and nearly fused together. Another interesting feature of this synapsid dinosaur was that its nostrils are on separste sides of its face. The nose has two separate olfactory-sensing systems, effectively giving it "3D" smell.

## Design

Velocinychus gorgodon had an even longer skull than its predecessor. What was once a nose has shrunk into two cresr-like nasal passageways. Combined with the prominent brow bones, these suggest a convergent evolution to Ceratosaurus. The fur of Velocinychus has receded to the back of its skull, while a patch of fur on the elbow has since elongated. This area of fur was used as a mating display, and this may have been similar to how the predatory dinosaurs of the Mesozoic have evolved the first feathers.

Velocinychus gorgodon grew to approximately five feet at the shoulder, growing taller than its ancestors.
Spinosaurus

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus doggy-paddling

### Key Features

Aquatic lifestyle, elongated snout, webbed hands and feet, back vertebrae used as a sail and covered with a blubber-like substance

### Synonyms

Spinosaurus moroccanus/Ichtyovenator moroccanus

### Extinction

Overcompetition with mosasaurs and spinal deformities

## Information

Spinosaurus was a fish-eating dinosaur from what is now North Africa. Its limbs were shorter adapted to swimming and it had a sail handy. It has a spinal cord used as a sail for swimming, in a similar manner to Concavenator and Dimetrodon, and its legs were more sprawled out than those of dinosaurs on land.

## Design

The Spinosaurus's limbs are sprawled out like a sea turtle's, with a blubber-like substance protecting the spinal cord from external resources. It has a similar pattern to the killer whale. Spinosaurus aegyptiacus had a red crest on its face, a white patch surrounding the eye, and white spots covering the sail. The ending of the tail is similar to a paddle, and the claws on the limbs are extended in order to help with swimming.
Thanos

Side view of a male Thanos simonattoi

## Information

Thanos simonattoi is an abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that roamed South America in the late Cretaceous. Thanos may have been the height of a man, based on the axil bone discovered, twenty feet in length, and is named after the character Thanos, coincidentally meaning "Death."

Thanos simonattoi is a late Cretaceous abelisaurid that roamed the São José do Rio Preto Formation of Brazil approximately 85 million years ago. Its genus name refers to the Marval character Thanos, while the specific name honors Simonatto. Thanos simonattoi is estimated to have grown up to 20 feet in length, and is known from its nearly complete axis (vertebral neck bone).

## Design

Thanos simonattoi is depicted with Carnotaurus-like horns protruding from its short face and has its arm claws exposed from its feathery arms. The fur of this abelisaurid is an iridescent bluish-black in color.
Parapithecus

Side view of a Parapithecus americus

## Information

Parapithecus americus was a Cenozoic mammal that existed 500,000 years after the demise of civilization. Parapithecus does not know it yet, but it is an evolutionary miracle. From it will stem the first bipedal carnivores since the age of the dinosaurs that first evolved 230 million years before.

It was a direct descendant of humans, and had a hunched body and an elongated neck. It was adapted to catching frogs and fish, feeding off of smaller and slower prey items as a shoreline hunter. Parapithecus would also occasionally scavenge off of larger carcasses, sometimes forming in groups then, but mainly being solitary animals as a part of its lifestyle. It may have occasionally got into conflicts with the overly protective waterbird Branta arizonansis in attempts to eat eggs from their nests without being caught. Parapithecus evolves into the descending genera Lupomimus and Rostruvenator in about 4.5 million years' time.

## Design

Parapithecus americus still has a large cranium, coming from Homo sapiens, and retains the long nose and opposable thumbs. Parapithecus grew patches of hair on the back of its head, on its back, and on the front of its limbs to combat sunlight radiation while still being insulated. It has noticeably shorter arms than its ancestors.

Parapithecus americus stood around three to four feet at the shoulder when fully-grown and in its typical crouching position.
Mammut

Side view of a Mammut americanum

## Information

The American Mastodon was a species of extinct proboscidean that lived in North and Central America in the Late Pleistocene, and was the most recent species in the genus Mammut. It is believed to have browsed forests in herds, and went extinct approximately ten thousand years ago, from a combination of overhunting and climate change.
Ratufa

## Information

The Indian giant squirrel, also known as the Malabar giant squirrel, is an oriental giant squirrel that is endemic to the forests and woodlands of the Indian subcontinent, where the Himalayan Mountain Range isolates it from other squirrel populations elsewhere in the Old World. They are larger than most typical squirrels, reaching nearly three feet (36 inches) in length from head to tail and weighing around three to four pounds (1.5 - 2 kg). Indian giant squirrels spend most of their lives up in the trees and feed primarily on nuts, fruits, flowers, and tree bark, but they will also occassionally eat insects and bird eggs. The colorful pattern of this squirrel helps it to camouflage with the flecks of sunlight and shaded areas of the broadleaf and evergreen forests which it inhabits.
Anurognathus

Side view of an Anurognathus ammoni (Jurassic Porg) in flight

## Information

Although its skull looks remarkably similar to a frog's, Anurognathus ammoni was actually a small pterosaur that lived in Germany during the late Jurassic. It had a wingspan around thirty-five centimeters, or just over a foot. It was most likely insectivorous, catching invertebrates in midair. This can be inferred from its small size, reduced tail, and numerous skinny teeth lining up the jaws. This one here is depicted as a Jurassic Porg for May the 4th special.

## Design

The 2020 design is intentionally patterned like a porg as it was made for May the 4th.
Velociraptor

## Information

Velociraptor mongoliensis is a small dromaeosaur that got around by running on the ground with its fast, slender body. Velociraptor ate insects and small lizards.

## Design

The most recent model of Velociraptor mongoliensis shows thst its body is built like a roadrunner's, and it has a feather mohawk. The head is the only area on the body that is bare of feathers/fur on the dinosaur.
Agaricocrinus

## Information

Coral before corals

(Agaricocrinus americanus)

Often overlooked in favor of larger animals, crinoids constituted much of what covered the ocean floor during the Paleozoic. They were stationary echinoderms that had stems built out of calcium carbonate held together by ligaments, and feathered arms they used to siphon their favorite food: plankton. Crinoids dominated in the trillions throughout the Cambrian to the end of the Permian. The Great Dying wiped out most crinoid forms and sea lily diversity never recovered to previous levels. Whereas crinoids grew in almost all levels of water pre-extinction, afterward they resided in deeper waters away from the surface where anthozoan corals now dominate.
Moros

Side view of a Moros intrepidus

## Information

Moros intrepidus was an early tyrannosauroid theropod dinosaur that lived in the western United States some 96 million years ago in the Cretaceous, estimated to have weighed around 170 pounds and to have stood less than five feet tall at the shoulder. Moros was first discovered at the Stormy Theropod site located in Emery County in the U.S. state of Utah in 2013 from partial limb bones. Lindsay Zanno described the bones as a new species in February 2019. Moros represents the earliest known tyrannosauroid material from North America by a margin of fifteen million years.

## Design

Moros intrepidus is depicted here as partially feathered. Fur covers the arms, legs, back, torso, and tail of this small predator. The fur is mainly an orangish-brown in color, with the occasional black dask and a white-colored underbelly for countershading. The throat is a bright red in males and is used for sexual dimorphism and for showing off.
Homeonychus

* Homeonychus mimipteryx
* Homeonychus polari

### Diet

Omnivore- Mainly predated on animals smaller than itself, but could eat berries in time of need

### Key Features

Arms with wing-like fur membranes, beak-like fused incisors, missing thumb finger

## Information

The Homeonychus mimipteryx is a synapsid dinosaur from the future Cenozoic. It has gave up its pinky and thumb digits, having just three fingers like most dinosaurs, in order for a more streamlined hand, capable of swiping quickly and swinging painful blows during competition. It uses its double-set of canines to grip onto prey and biting down at the same time.

## Design

The Homeonychus mimipteryx has a jutted pelvic bone like its ancestor's. It has an elongated skull with its nostrals halfway down its mandible, with a prominent brow crest and small ear flaps. It has three fingers, which are long and narrow. Homeonychus has fur covering its back and the top-front of its limbs. There is a membrane of hardened fur on the elbows of its arms, reducing air traction and allowing it to sprint at faster speeds.

Homeonychus mimipteryx grew to the size of a six-foot tall man at the shoulders.

## Gallary

### Diet

Carnivore- Usually preys on deers and seals

### Location

Eastern Siberia and Northernmost North America

### Key Features

Arms with wing-like fur membranes, beak-like fused incisors, missing thumb finger

## Information

While North America and Asia were going further and further North, some of the synapsid dinosaurs happened to take advantage of the resulting land bridge that formed. The Homeonychus polari branched off from these and became well-adapted to this North Pole.

## Design

The Homeonychus polari is more chubby in shape than its cousin as it has to insulate itself from the cold.

Homeonychus polari grew from seven to eight feet at the shoulder. It lived in much harsher climates than its relatives and had to grow larger in order to insulate its body heat more easily.

<Tabber>
Australovenator

Side view of an Australovenator wintonensis

## Information

Australovenator was a genus of megaraptoran theropod dinosaur that lived in what is now Queensland of Australia approximately 95 million years ago. Australovenator wintonensis is estimated to have been 6.6 feet (2 meters) tall at the shoulder and 20 feet (6 meters) in length. Its name means "Southern Hunter" and it is the most complete predatory dinosaur found in Australia.
Gigatyrannus

A Gigatyrannus flightoravoroes in a forest background

## Information

Gigatyrannus flightoravoroes was another unique prodragomorph of the Cretaceous, this one having four wings instead of two. It used those wings to help propel itself off the ground, even more quickly so than Eodraconis rexus, although not quite as able to adapt to change. The Gigatyrannus flightoravoroes has no living descendants after the Maritisaurus and Deinofonspteryx lineages, both of which eventually went extinct in what would be the Eocene of the Dracossic.

## Design

The Gigatyrannus flightoravoroes has a similar pattern to the Eodraconis rexus, having mainly green fur with purple stripes, although this fur is slightly darker in shading. This prodragomorph's arms also became wings, becoming nearly identical to the feathered wings on its back. Gigatyrannus flightoravoroes also retains the ballsack-shaped neck pouch that the Eodraconis rexus (DinoCoat rexus) in 2016 had before the species diversification that happened in 2017. Gigatyrannus flightoravoroes also does not have the stripes forked, unlike the current Eodraconis rexus.
Maritisaurus

Side view of a male Maritisaurus atlanticus

### Key Features

Blue body with grey head, four paddling wings, shorter than usual legs, webbed feet

### Extinction

Overcompetition with more advanced mosasaurs

## General Information

The Maritisaurus atlanticus was a descendant of the four-winged prodragomorph Gigatyrannus flightoravoroes. Unlike its ancestors, which acted as shoreline hunters, this one took it another step and became fully-aquatic, not unlike the famed Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. Maritisaurus atlanticus's feathered wings adapted and became fins, with transparent membranes (modified feathers) that would help to push the dragon across the sea. It ultimately goes extinct in most of the Draconian Universe versions due to overcompetition with larger mosasaurs that were not previously in the Atlantic but had indeed migrated there.

## Design

Maritisaurus atlanticus had a mainly blue body with transparent feather membranes in some areas. It retains the distinctive facial pattern of Gigatyrannus flightoravoroes, with blue extending from the snout to the mouth, and basic blue spots by the eyes and ear holes. Maritisaurus atlanticus has a double throat pouch, deep-red and adorned with large spikes.
Miniceratus

Side view of a Miniceratus atalis

## Information

Miniceratus atalis is a descendant of the White-Tailed Deer that has grown to smaller sizes and runs quickly, turning to a niche not unlike rabbit's. Miniceratus is among the preferred prey items for the synapsid dinosaur Lupomimus dipodelli.

## Design

To avoid being captured by larger predators, Miniceratus atalis has a much-reduced horn size and a small, upturned tail. The torso is rather skinny while the ears are larger in proportion to the body. Miniceratus uses countershading, having a lighter underbelly and a darker back. It no longer seems to have the spots of its ancestors in its fur pattern.
Inostrancevia

## Information

Inostrancevia was the largest known gorgonopsid. It lived in what is now Russia towards the end of the Permian, 250 million years ago. It likely preyed on Scutosaurus and other organisms in its range, using its sabre-like teeth to puncture veins and flesh.

## Design

Inostrancevia is covered with fur with similar rosettes to a leopard's and has prominent black gums.
Compsognathus

Side view of a Compsognathus longipes

## Information

Compsognathus longipes was a turkey-sized theropod dinosaur that lived in the Late Jurassic in what is now Europe some 150 million years before the mass globalization of humans on Earth. They have been found in Germany and France, with one specimen known from each country respectively. Compsognathus is known to have fed on prehistoric lizards (Bavarisaurus macrodactylus), whose fossils were found in their fossilized guts, and they may have likely fed on other small animals like insects, early mammals, and fish. The sediments Compsognathus was found in also contained traces of aquatic creatures such as fish, crustaceans, echinoderms, and mollusks, suggesting it may have lived and hunted in a coastal setting.
Dracomimus

* Dracomimus marinychus
* Dracomimus parabotonyx

Side view of a male Dracomimus marinychus

## Information

Dracomimus marinychus is a species of primitive wyvern that has adapted features for fishing. While fully capable of being a generalist prodragomorph, Dracomimus will use its single-clawed appendages to snatch up fish from the creeks and rivers it roams.

## Design

Dracomimus marinychus is brown in color, with a green head in males and a grey head in females. The male version of this species of Dracomimus has white-and-black stripes running down its neck and a tail of orange feathers. Dracomimus has skinny, vestigial wings on the top of its torso. Single-clawed arms are used for spearing catches out of the water.

<tabber>

## Dracomimus parabotonyx

Side view of a male Dracomimus parabotonyx

## Information

Dracomimus parabotonyx is a more advanced species in the genus Dracomimus. Another snatching wyvern, this one has adapted features that make it seem more like a reed plant, fooling fish and other aquatic creatures to their demise.

## Design

Like other snatching wyverns, Dracomimus parabotonyx has one finger that it uses to spear fish to catch. Dracomimus parabotonyx has much less sexual dimorphism in its species, is larger than Dracomimus marinychus, and is more dependent on water to eat. The evolution of this species has led to other members of Dracomimus to take on a more "Aye-Aye" bug-eating niche in order to avoid competition.
Rostruvenator

Side view of a Rostruvenator icthyensis

## Information

Rostruvenator itchyensis is a fish-eating member within the genus Rostruvenator, an early synapsid dinosaur mesopredator that mainly survived by eating small food sources and evading larger predators such as Lupomimus. When fully-grown, the Rostruvenator grew to approximately the size of a Velociraptor.

## Design

Rostruvenator icthyensis had a rather long snout of its time, complementing its fish-catching lifestyle. It has long, skinny legs for quickly running from danger and has small ear flaps. Unlike the Lupomimus lineage, Rostruvenator has long thumbs, instead having a shorter ring finger and pinky finger. The thumb toes have especially long claws, somewhat resembling those of a cassowary.

Rostruvenator icthyensis was a very small synapsid dinosaur that grew to two feet at the shoulder when fully-grown.

**Prisoners Colony** is a second Colony player inhabited by murderers, thieves and other type of scum, that broke the laws on the surface. The colony is ruled by Bronsky.

It is connected with Miners Colony in the East, Generator\* and Biologist Colony in the North-East and Railway in North West.
Allosaurus

## Allosaurus fragillis

An Allosaurus fragillis attacking an unfortunate Diplodocus.

### Diet

Carnivore- preyed on young Stegosaurus, Kentrosaurus, Camarasaurus, Diplodocus, chased after Dryosaurus and Camptosaurus, and took carcasses from Torvosaurus and Ceratosaurus

### Key Features

Teeth designed to cut into flesh, prominent facial crests, long claws to scratch with

### Extinction

Evolved into the carcharodontosaurids and megaraptorans

## General Information

Allosaurus fragillis was the apex predator in its environment, occasionally even preying on the armored Stegosaurus. It's favorite prey item was probably Camptosaurus, but they ran at high speeds and flocked with the Stegosaurus for defense. Allosaurus could have easily taken down baby herbivores left behind from their herds. Allosaurus's preferred attack method was ambushing prey, biting into a vulnerable area, and waiting for said dinosaur to bleed out. Allosaurus survived the Jurassic-Cretaceous extinction and evolved into the carcharodontosaurids and the megaraptorans in the early Cretaceous.

## Design

Allosaurus fragillis was mainly brown with a white head and neck. It had a red crest on its face and a yellow beak. The recent Allosaurus has a very basic design, with a similar color scheme as DinoCoat's Dilophosaurus wetherilli and Concavenator corcovatus.
Meganeura

Side view of a female Meganeura monyi

## Information

Meganeura monyi was a species of large carnivorous griffonfly which lived in the Carboniferous Period some 300 million years ago. It evolved to occupy the insect-eating niche which pterosaurs, birds, and bats have since taken over millions of years later. Meganeura was the largest flying organism of its time, and was among the largest flying invertebrates of all time with a wingspan of just over 2 feet, or 70 centimeters, in length. Its large size can be explained by the overproduction of oxygen in the atmosphere at that time, which allowed insects to grow bigger as their simple respiration system was no longer as much of a constraint. The insects eventually lost their size as the level of oxygen in the atmosphere has since decreased to approximately 21% oxygen compared to the 35% atmospheric oxygen concentration at the time of the large insects' existence.

## Information

Afropean Fishing Lions are a species of basal Neoursid from the forests of Africa and Europe of the future supercontinent Afroeurasia, consisting of what we know as Africa, Europe, and Asia, evolving approximately 29 million AD. The family Neoursidae (meaning "New Bear") descended from the Big Cats of holocene Africa, and consists of members which have evolved relatively long snouts for snatching and catching fish. Afropean Fishing Lions are medium-sized carnivores, at approximately a meter at the shoulder, and catch fish from river streams with a certain method. The snout is held down underwater, and the Fishing Lion will grab an object of the appropriate size with its mouth while snatching the fish out of the river using its opposable claws as grippers. Along with the ability to climb trees when danger is percieved, these adaptations have allowed the early Neoursids to gradually outcompete the native bears in what is now Europe.
Dilophosaurus

### Diet

Carnivore/Piscivore- hunted plateosaurs, scavenged off carcasses, and using their elongated necks for fishing

### Time Period

Late Triassic to Early Jurassic (203-196 million BCE)

## General Information

The Dilophosaurus was a predatory dinosaur of the early Jurassic, which would give rise to many other dinosaurs. The Dilophosaurus is most famous for having two crests on its head, using them for display purposes. The swan-like elongated neck and curved snout of such a dinosaur implies a casual lifestyle of fishing from the rivers common in its time.

## Design

The Dilophosaurus of DinoCoat has the same common color scheme of other dinosaurs, with the mainly brown fur with white fur below. Their necks of both sexes are also a white color. Dilophosaurus used its head crests as a mating display, the adult males' crests having bright-red dots and ornamented with quills around them, and a yellow beak. The females' crests are of similar size, but they have horizontal lines instead of dots and lack neck quills. The beaks of baby, juvenile, and adult female Dilophosaurus are grey in color.
Amargasaurus

## Information

Amargasaurus cazaui was a species of South Ameeican sauropod from the early Cretaceous period, approximately 130 million years ago. It is classified in the genus Amargasaurus.

Amargasaurus is a genus of Dicraeosaurid sauropod dinosaur that lived in the Early Cretaceous Period, approximately 122 million yesrs ago, in what is now Argentina, discovered from the La Amarga Formation. Amargasaurus is most famous for the elongated spinal bones found on the back of the neck and torso. A common belief is that the elongated neck spines could have had keratinous sheaths, being used for defense from predators. The spinal bones, however, seem too slender and fragile for reliable defense and could have also been used as a fat reserve, allowing this dinosaur to survive longer without food sources.

## Design

Amargasaurus cazaui is a rather unique sauropod in design. It is furless and is black and white in color. The spines that emerge from Amargasaurus' back are covered in fat reserves, allowing this dinosaur to survive times of drought and food scarcities. The feet of Amargasaurus have pads at the end of them, in a similar manner to hippos and elephants today.
Bovecervus

## Information

Twenty million years in the future, what has remained of the bovids in Africa, Europe, and Asia is gradually becoming displaced by the further advanced descendants of deer, with the help of their antlers which act as multiple pairs of horns for gouging predators of various heights and sizes. This so-called "Cow Deer" is actually most closely related to the Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), which has become larger and more robust since. Males rut by charging and wrestling into eachother with their strong horns, and their muscular necks and backs absorb the force. Females retain these features for defense against predators, and they do not drop their antlers in winter, instead growing a permanent pair. These Cow Deer can measure up to eight feet at the shoulder and grow over 2,000 pounds.
Dolichollicus

## Information

One-hundred sixty-five million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs. The Cenozoic Era, dominated primarily by mammals, is nearing its end. While the majority of bird species had become extinct in the freezing New Pleistocene extinction event, some seed-eating species miraculously survived. Even in a world where the skies are dominated by advanced bats, descendants of columbids and finches have found their way to survive, and to flourish. The Ouh'i Ouh'i, Dolichollicus viridis, comes from the columbid side of the survivors. Distantly related to pigeons and doves, it is among the birds that have re-evolved an insectivorous niche. It inhabits the once-again tropical forests of South America, which are the least affected by the mammalian conquistadores. The Ouh'i Ouh'i can be distinguished from modern birds by its brilliant, green coating as well as the feathers which protrude out from its elongated middle toe. These specialized legs can be used for steering in flight, as well as for promoting gliding flight to conserve energy while hunting for insects flying around in the canopy.

## Design

Dolichollicus viridis stands out with its bright green feathers and bright yellow eyes and beak.
Mammuthus

## Information

Columbian Mammoths were a species of extinct proboscidean that roamed a majority of the USA and lived as far South as Mexico from some 1.5 million years ago, until its extinction some recent 10,000 years ago, at the end of the Pleistocene. At 13 feet tall at the shoulders and weighing up to 10 tons, the Columbian Mammoth was slightly larger than its more famous cousin, the Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius). The Columbian Mammoth was actually named after Christopher Columbus by Hugh Falconer in 1857, under the scientific name Mammuthus columbi.
Dipodapithecus

Side view of a male Dipodapithecus grandis

## Information

Ten million long years have passed since the downfall of the last human civilization. Organisms have been changing and adapting to their environments for ten million years. New body plans have evolved. New niches have now been established by the survivors of the Tertiary-Quaternary extinction event. Although most human lineages have since faded from existence, a few still hold on to the delicate Earth. The most notorious of these is the bloodline of the synapsid dinosaurs, bipedal predators derived from humans which resemble their namesakes which ruled the Earth a million centuries beforehand. Dipodapithecus grandis, the largest of its time at the height of a man, is native to the forests of eastern North America. Its body is posed in a hunched position to stabilize it effectively and it is covered in fur for insulation. The first and fifth digits of its hand have become reduced as they are not as helpful as the three remaining fingers for gripping onto prey, and the hand is streamlined for scratching opponents as a defense. The second and third digits of the foot and the fourth and fifth digits of the foot have also fused together to produce larger toes for effective takeoff in running, as well as developing a digitigrade stance for a larger stride. Males of this species also have a unique display to compensate for the androgynous structure of the species, growing fur at the back of back of the head that curves downwards and then upwards to create the impression of a crest.
Lythronax Rampage

## Summary (Short)

A mother Lythronax kills several dinosaurs after losing her babies to a Torvosaurus in order to protect her remaining chick. A Quetzalcoatlus takes the last hatchling when she returns so she is after it. The animation ends once she saves her baby.

## Summary (Long)

*Lythronax Rampage* is one of DinoCoat's longest animations, at just over 5 minutes long. It starts with a mother Lythronax and her three chicks. A Torvosaurus (based off of the one from Dinosaur Revolution) roars in the foreground, and the mother roars back at it. The Torvosaurus knocks out the mother tyrannosaurid, and she wakes up to two of her hatchlings missing. She sniffs the blood, and she is set out for revenge. She kills an unfortunate Psittacosaurus for the remaining hatching, and goes on with her journey. She kills multiple oppenents before having her revenge on the Torvosaurus, being helped out by an Allosaurus that collapses once she kicks it getting up. The Lythronax returns to her chick, for a hungry Quetzalcoatlus to snatch her last baby. She roars in rage, killing a Therizinosaurus and a Gigantoraptor, and swimming across the ocean. She is shown transforming into a Tyrannosaurus figure multiple times while killing North American dinosaurs, climbs up a mountain, knocks DinoCoat off the same cliff as the intro, and kills the Quetzalcoatlus before it eats the chick. The video ends with a Tyrannosaurus and an Ankylosaurus.
Achillobator

Side view of an Achillobator giganticus

## Information

The Achillobator giganticus was a large dromaeosaur that roamed Mongolia 80 million years ago. It was closely related to the genus Velociraptor, and likely hunted small prey such as the commonplace Protoceratops andrewsi on its own. Achillobator is depicted by DinoCoat as a pursuit hunter that drags its kills up trees to feed, similarly to a leopard today.

## Design

Achillobator giganticus has a large body that was mainly yellow with a cheetah-like pattern on it. Achillobator also has a white-and-black feather mane on the back of its head, used mainly for display, territorial distributes, and species recognition. There are also arm feathers and a patch of leg feathers on Achillobator. The jaws and feet are the only places nit covered in fur.
Decipulusnea

## Description

Decipulusnea laqueulina, the usnea flytrap, hangs from tree bark. After thirty million years in Earth's time, this Usnea lichen relative ensnares small flying insects in its traps to gain an upper-hand in the high-competition tropical rainforest of northern and equatorial South America. Its modified apothecia shut around the prey item (such as the small fruit fly depicted) via turgor pressure and reopen after the prey has either been digested or escaped. Because of its digestive enzymes, the usnea flytrap primarily reproduces vegetatively. Stems that break off from the center can grow into new individuals if severed while in the right conditions. Decipulusnea laqueulina's competitive advantage is not negotiable in arid or temperate climates, as it requires warm temperatures and high humidity with a year-round supply of insects.

The conspicuous, blue-and-yellow ladybeetle Coerinella toxiclabes possesses a sickening and distasteful bodily fluid that deters all but the most desperate of predators. Indigenous to Central America and northernmost South America twenty-three million years in the future, the blue-and-yellow ladybeetle feeds exclusively on aphids that suck sap from plants in the milkweed family. The milkweed aphids accumulate cardenolides from the toxic sap of the plants. The toxic ladybeetles then fly, looking for contaminated milkweed bushes, and consume the aphids along with the poison that builds up in their bodies. The blue-and-yellow ladybeetle's colors warn of the toxins, which are more concentrated in the ladybeetle than in the aphids and can cause serious illness in high dosages. The blue hue is caused by a modification of the ladybeetle's normally-red pigment.

Genetic analysis suggests that the blue-and-yellow ladybeetle is distantly related to the Asian ladybeetle, Harmonia axyridis, which experienced rapid radiation after having been introduced to the New World during the onset of the twentieth century. The invasive species took over niches of much rarer insects and speciated as time took its course. A close relative of Coerinella toxiclabes is blue but has bright-red spots in place of C. toxiclabes's yellow spots.
Gnathosimilidon

Side view of a Gnathosimilidon gorgops

## Information

In the aftermath of a mass extinction event which sent the tetrapods goodbye, much smaller creatures found their chance to shine. Three-hundred million years after the influence of man, some springtails, like Gnathosimilidon gorgops, have grown much larger to occupy the available niches in the beginnings of the Pentozoic. This giant carnivorous springtail shown has found itself to be the local apex predator. Growing as tall as a man and chasing after its prey using six legs held beneath its body, a running Gnathosimilidon gorgops is a fearsome sight to behold. Unfortunately, you wouldn't behold this sight for long, as its speed is surprisingly quick and it effectively crushes and dices up its food using false tooth-like projections at the front of its mouth, which function comparably to those of the extinct placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli. In addition to this, Gnathosimilidon gorgops may use the furculas underneath its tail to help propell itself closer to its prey, often as a pounce-and-ambush tactic.

## Design

Gnathosimilidon gorgops has four jawlike mouthparts, which function together as a mouth. Six long-and-bulky legs help it to run and it has two furculas underneath its tail. The collophore of Gnathosimilidon gorgops, inherited from its much smaller ancestors, is comparatively smaller to prevent loss of moisture. Although its environment is colder than today's due to the lower amount of carbon dioxide, vascular plants still live on and so some of its filaments are green for camouflage. It has filaments ranging from white to tan to orange to brown to green and to black to help break up its body shape so prey do not easily notice it. There is slight countershading, with the top pattern being slightly darker than the bottom pattern. Some areas have black spots and white spots to help with this breaking effect.
Carcharocles

A side portrait of Megalodon

## Information

Carcharocles megalodon, a shark that owes it's size to the numerous plankton of the recent Cenozoic ocean. Around five million years ago, this shark grew to the length of two school buses and learned to filter feed. It may have been related to the whale shark, basking shark, and the megamouth shark. This shark had to eventually reduce size and give up its teeth as they began to become outcompeted by prehistoric whales, such as the predatory deep-diving Livyatan melvillei, the ancestor of modern-day sperm whales, and the ever-so large baleen whales that were also taking up the krill-loving niche.

## Design

Megalodon appears rather similar to todays modern whale shark, but larger and more teeth. Megalodon had a rather large mouth, helpful for filter-feeding larger gulps at a time. It is mainly grey with a light underbelly and white spots on the sides. Megalodon also has relatively large gills and large fins.
