Description

The Second Edition of Goldchocobo's Character Tutorials.

This- is something that /really/ boils my blood on Feral Heart.
Especially when people claim to know more than me without proving that fact with evidence or fancy-shmancy fact wavering and just 'shut up I'm a Baryonyx- not a common dinosaur, therefore I know more than you'.
And don't get me started on Terminology...
I've seen people name their female raptors 'Raptoress'
No- no, no, no, no and NO
I don't care if it follows 'Lioness' 'Demoness' 'Sorceress' kind of lines, there is no way a Dromeosaur is going to be called -insert dromeosaurname-ess
You don't call bears 'bearess' or pigs 'Boress' or people 'Maness'.
Dinosaurs- expecially Dromeosaurs are VERY closely related to birds, and thus- I think would be called 'Hen' you know- like how femalebirds are called 'hens'
Now- I don't want anyone with a male Dromeosaur having 'cock' in their name, which is why I suggested 'Drake'- which is a term for a male duck, and sounds cooler to boot.

I don't mind the colour of said dinosaur. they could be pink with blue spots for all we know, apart from Anchornis, as mentioned above.

Sorry about the rant, but I literally have over 100 books on dinosaurs, and keep up with the local discoveries on them... I'm not a Newb or even a N00b on dinosaurs... Prehistoic mammals is another thing- I still need to learn a lot more about them, but Dinosaurs and prehistoric lizards (Marine and Pterasaurs) I know a lot about.

Sorry for the rant... but- yeah...

oh my, that used to get me so angry when I was 12. I loved Jurassic Park but... lets admit it. Its less of a dinosaur movie and more of a monster movie. The inaccuracies run high.honestly, the bird wyvern Great Maccao (its from the game Monster Hunter) is more scientifically accurate than these beasties, and that raptor is fake! So I'm glad you are trying to educate others on the true nature of dromaeosaurs. Not trying to sound like a dinosaur elitist or anything, its just that I love my angry, meat-eating turkeys. :I so good on you! I would love to have a chat on Terror birds one day with you as I am doing a personal project on them.
