Naturally, it’s Ankylosaurus. Just look at this armoured tactical turtle and tell me you do not love this silly little guy!
Just wanting to eat his plants. Wanna gnaw on him? Tough luck, it hurts and you cannot crack that shell. Also, he will fucking break your kneecaps with his built-in hammer while you’re bothering him.
Spirit animal.
Triceratops. The only thing wrong with rhinos are that they have too few horns and not enough armor plating.
There was a monoceratops. Hell, there were ceratopsians who didn’t have horns at all.
I like the triceratops. Having three pointy bits makes it 50% more awesome than rhinos.
There any love here for Icthyosaurus?
Just looks like a big derpy lemony shaped dolphin, with a snoot that 76% more boopable.
Very awesome animals, but I don’t think these are technically dinos.
I have a few.
By far the frontrunner is Parasaurolophus. Hadrosaurs are cool, Lambeosaurid Hadrosaurs are cooler. Not to besmirch my boy Edmontosaurus tho. The biggest Hadrosaur is also on my list.
I am also a big fan of the Borealopelta. This is a Nodosaurid Ankylosaur, meaning it has shoulder spikes instead of a tail club. I like this guy because of the story of its discovery, as well as the fantastic display at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Also helps that it’s the most intact armored dino ever found.
Finally there is the Regaliceratops. Like a Triceratops, but with a super fun crown!
Yes! I have always loved the parasaurolophus!
I do enjoy them but I’m a bad gamer (I only play one game consistently). I added it to my wishlist to check out when it’s on sale. Thanks for the info!
Stegosaurus. Cant beat the classic. Though Iguanodon is close second.
Stegosaurus is pretty great, I was always a fan of them, especially their thagomizers.
There is a company called Stego Industries that has a Stegosaurus as their logo. Sounds cool, right? Wrong! They are awful. They make plastic liners that go below concrete slabs, so under the whole building. STEGOSAURUS MEANS ROOF LIZARD!!! The only construction product worthy of the Stego name should be shingles >:[
You gave the correct answer. Done.
Chicken ofc 🍗
Hell yeah, Ankylosaurus! That little doom wagon has been my favorite since I was a little kid!
Really surprised to see that he inspired the post to begin with, as most people don’t know what it is!
Heck yeah! !Ankmemes@sh.itjust.works is calling
Protoceratops because I am completely convinced they would be cool hanging out on the couch, playing fetch, and otherwise acting like a dinosaur house pet.
Ankylosaurus is a strong contender. Really strong contender. But stegosaurus is still MVP.
Troodon. Little dudes that were thought to be smart, formed communities, had weird teeth, and have been the cause of multiple controversies over classification or existing at all. So, tiny trouble makers.
Sauropods because BIG
But really, I mean look at those things!! They traveled together in herds and the size of them meant that as they walked, the strata of the earth was fucking shuffled. How cool is that???
The peregrine falcon. Because it’s the fastest animal (that we know of)!
Stegosaurus. Back plates, tail spikes, and dat thick booty.
I have this feeling that Michael Crichton, the author of Jurassic park, fucking hated the Stegosaurus. Every time it comes up in the book he shit talks it relentlessly for being stupid, clumsy, and wholly incapable of self preservation.
Cool, more reasons to like my steggy boi.
I’m younger than he would be and we were taught that stegosaurs were so dumb they had to have a second brain in their spine to run their ass end.
Which turns out to likely be entirely made up.
That’s the point! :) Crichton never got updated it seems. In retrospect, it’s kinda hard to believe they were dumber than cows or chickens. No large animal could survive being as dumb as they were made out.
I like stego because they had 2 brains. A tiny one in the head and a larger one mid spine.
This thread is the best booster-pack.
