Spidey88 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Re: Ideas for Dino Character A lot of this depends on whether the character comes from a classic "Lost World" setting, in which animals from all sorts of different eras are jumbled together, or from a more realistic setting, in which Allosauruses and Pteranodons did not exist at the same time (IIRC). True enough. You've definitely got a lot more options/wiggle room if you go for the lost world concept. If you limit yourself to, say, the late Cretaceous, that means no Allosaurus, no Stegosaurus, no Brachiosaurus, etc. If you go for the mid-Jurassic, that means no Tyrannosaurus, no Triceratops, no Pteranodon, etc. Going for the lost world concept also means there's been 65 million years for a race of sentient dinos to evolve - which would be plenty of time, considering the attributes of some Late Cretaceous coleurosaurs (which were certainly far more intellectually gifted than any mammal at the time, and had hands developed somewhat for grasping).
