I'm a little late to the party, but don't worry, I won't leave without giving you guys my ranking.
5. Shantungosaurus
5th place was a heavily contested spot, with Shantungosaurus, Barosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Ankylosaurus, and others all competing. However, I settled on this chonker because, as a Dinopedian, I love hadrosaurs.
4. Spinosaurus
Those who know me well, and even those who don't know me well, know I love Spinosaurus. I have always loved it, from when I was an arrogant fanboy back in 2020 to the semi-fanboy state I'm currently at. Plus, you know I love weird dinosaurs, so of course I had to include the weirdest dinosaur of them all.
3. Arambourgiania
Arambourgiania does not get as much love as it deserves. Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx get all the attention for being more complete specimens, even though Mark Witton's estimate makes Arambourgiania the largest flying animal to ever live. Azhdarchids have always been my favorite pterosaurs, not just because of their size, but also because they are so unique.
2. Allosaurus
Ah, Allosaurus amplexus. My profile picture. The animal that once got me cancelled on this wiki. Allosaurus was the first dinosaur that I ever considered my favorite, and I love it to this day. As the largest species, A. amplexus is my favorite, though I love all of them.
1. Eotriceratops
Even when the other places in my ranking may change, Eotriceratops is never dethroned (at least, not permanently). Like Triceratops but bigger, this dinosaur perfectly describes me because I'm a herbivore, I get defensive, and I'm a chonker.
Comment if this post made you rethink your ranking.
I havent posted in five months, mostly because of my work, and for that, i'd like to actually contribute something to this website. I got inspiration from @Nonotbeast for this post. I'm going to format it like his TR incident posts, so credit goes to him for that. I'll list three things that have happened since I last posted in his "Incident" format.
Note: The events i'm about to describe arent apart of his series.
"Diving archangels"
Creatures: Different types of Azdarchids, such as Crydrakon, Quetzalcoatlus, Hatzegopteryx, Arambourgiania, and Thanatosdrakon.
Type: Attack on aircraft carrier Gerald R Ford
Deaths: Unknown, but at least over 1,000.
Injuries: Also unknown, but again, likely in the thousands.
News from the USA is very spotty, the USA has cut off all contact after an unknown group took over it's government. The group taking over the government caused a civil war between multible factions in the USA.
The United Nations established contact with a few of these factions, some of them decided to work with the UN, while some didnt. One of them that didnt work with the UN was the Alabama-Lousiana Commonwealth fighting against the Cheseapeake Federation, one that was working with the UN.
The United Nations couldnt spare any troops, we have, and still are, on an offensive against the dinosaurs/lights. The UN could supply the Cheseapeake Federation with weapons.
The Cheseapeake Federation had already taken over a few former US military instilations, namely Langley Airforce Base, and Norfolk Naval Base, giving it more air and naval power than a lot of it's neighbors. But, the Alabama-Lousiana commonwealth somehow got ahold of the USS Gerald R Ford, the largest, and most powerful aircraft carrier in the world.
The Alabama-Lousiana commonwealth used this aircraft carrier to launch F-18 fighter jets at the Chesapeake Federation, which was starting to take a major toll on the Chesapeake Federations military.
To fill the gaps that the attacks caused, somehow, the Cheseapeake Federation had managed to tame dinosaurs. It's unknown how they did it, as all attempts to tame them previously have failed.
The Chesapeake Federation realized that they had to sink the aircraft carrier, or it would do even more damage to what little military they had left, so they gathered what few aircraft squadrons they had left, and launched a suprise attack on the aircraft carrier while it was off the coast of Bermuda.
The aircraft in these squadrons were F-35's armed with anti ship missiles, and F-22's armed with air to air missiles. The F-22's would cover the F-35's while they attacked the aircraft carrier, These planes were also joined by the first Azdarchid Squadrons.
The Azdarchid squadrons were formed of tamed adzarchids, like Quetzalcoatlus, and Hatzegopteryx, as well as a few other species. People would litteraly ride on the backs of them, and the Azdarchids would carry small bombs, and drop them on the aircraft while they were still parked on the aircraft carriers flight deck.
If all went well, the Azdarchids would strike first, bombing the carriers flight deck with the bombs, and taking out a number of fighter jets. Then, the F-35's would hit the carrier with multible anti ship missiles, and if any of the carriers fighter jets managed to launch, the F-22's would take them down.
What im about to write is from one of the people that was on one of the Azdarchids, during the mission:
"We were at a very high altitude, above the clouds. I doubted the enemy could see us. Most of their radars probably were not functional. Even if they were, their radars wouldnt be able to see the fighter jets flying alongside us, and they wouldnt be concerned by a few pterosaurs either.
Then, our flight lead gave the signal. We dove, I felt the wind rush by my face, we must have looked like WW2 dive bombers. I could see that my Quetzalcoatlus, I named him Archie, by the way, was holding on to the two fifty pound bombs very tightly. I saw our flight lead give the signal to drop the bombs, and I tapped Archie twice which was the trick I trained him to do in order for him to drop the bombs. He dropped them, and hit two of the F-18's parked on the aircraft carriers flight deck. We had to be maybe 500 feet over the aircraft carrier when we did this.
Then, the aircraft carriers CIWS batteries started going off. They would have gone off sooner, but the crew was inexperienced, and it was a suprise attack. I witnessed one of my squad mates azdarchid get it's wing sliced off by one of the CIWS. He was riding on a Hatzegopteryx, and I witnessed as it let go of it's bombs after it was hit, it's bombs slammed into the flight deck, not really hitting anything in particular, and then it and it's rider fell into the ocean.
I quickly got Archie to fly away from the carrier, before we were killed by the CIWS. I wouldnt have to wait long to get to safety, though, as the F-35's accompanying us roared past us, and unleashed their anti ship missiles, which slammed into the ships hull. The CIWS started to try to shoot the F-35's down, as they were a much larger threat than the Azdarchids.
A few F-18's somehow managed to launch themselves off the carrier, and tried to intercept the F-35's. By now, the carrier was already doomed, and it would not have actually mattered if they shot down the F-35's, but they tried to do it anyway. But, before they did, I watched as the fighter ace Rugops one shot down the F-18's singlehandedly.
A few hours later, the Gerald R Ford sunk beneath the waves, a few of our ships moved in to save the sailors that were aboard the ship. Not many survived, though. Most were picked off by marine reptiles, like Plesiosaurs, or mosasaurs."
"Lights in the forest"
Creatures: Lighthounds
Type: Lighthounds attack my Leopard 2a4, as well as a few other tanks in Czechia.
Deaths: 4 tankers dead
Injuries: Tankers in a challenger 2 tank had their hearing damaged.
The United Nations has launched a counter offensive on the dinosaurs/lights. On the first day of this counter offensive, I remember seeing hundreds of Main Battle Tanks. The UN is working as one military force, not multible seperate countries working together, so theres multible different types of tanks working together. (which is an awful fucking descision, for multible reasons, I don't know who decided we should do that, but it does look cool when we all work together.)
Like I said, on the first day, I saw hundreds of main battle tanks, IFV's and other vehicles moving in a desert storm style mass offensive just east of Frankfurt. I saw British Challenger Twos and FV105 Warriors, Italian Arietes and Dardos, French Leclercs, Polish M1A1 Abrams, Swedish Stridsvagn 122, tons of different countries were using Leopard 2a4's, Leopard 2a5's Leopard 2a6's, and even some russian tanks that were from post soviet states, and russian tank crews that had joined the UN after the russians started attacking their own civilians.
Anyways, this shows how many countries we were working with. The tank company im in contains tank crews from Germany (Where I come from) Poland, Sweden, and Czechia.
Anyways, the offensive started out with sucess, we managed to take back most of East Germany, and move into western poland, as well as take back all of Western Czechia, and Austria.
In this particular incident, that I was a part of, we were just north of the Slovakian city of Bratislava. Our tank company hadnt seen much action yet, the only thing we had done after the merging of the UN's militaries was attack a bunch of spinosaurs that were next to a river.
It was night time, and we were moving through a field, next to a wooded area. I am a crewmember of a Leopard 2a4, which a german tank. I was with a Challenger two, and two other Leopard 2a4's. We werent expecting to see anything, but one of the other german tanks commanders reported seeing something in the trees. I aimed my tanks gun in the direction they reported seeing it in, and I turned on the tanks thermals. Sure enough, something was there. I couldnt tell what it was.
I told my tanks commander about it, and he radioed to the other tanks that there was something in the trees. We turned our tanks turrets towards the trees, and tried to identify what it was. Our commander opened up their hatch, and looked outside. They said they saw a blue light coming from it, so we fired a few warning shots from our machine gun. Whatever it was started moving towards us, and that's when we realized that there was multible of them. One of them exited the treeline, which revealed that it was indeed a light hound.
The challenger 2 was the quickest to fire, it shot a sabot round. If you don't know what that is, a sabot is effectivley a depleted uranium or tungsten dart that is designed to penetrate as much armor as possible, while creating shrapnel inside the vehicle that it's shooting at. The sabot round tore through the light hounds neck, completely decapitating it. A few other light hounds exited the treeline, which we started shooting at.
The lighthounds were closing the distance between us very quickly, I managed to kill one of them, but then I witnessed one leap on top of the Leopard 2a4 next to us, and it started fucking clawing into it's top armor. The Leopard 2a4 has weak armor on it's roof, so it was easily able to get into the tank, and tore into it's crew. I turned our turret towards the light hound on top of the tank, and shot it with a HEAT round (HEAT stands for high explosive anti tank). This killed the lighthound, but when I turned the turret back around, there was two lighthounds surrounding the British Challenger 2.
I started firing the machine gun at them, while our tanks loader loaded a DM23 sabot round. (The best type of sabot round a leopard 2a4 can fire.) The other Leopard 2a4 rammed one of the lighthounds, while the Challenger 2 desperatley fought off the other lighthound, The other Leopard 2a4 managed to bring the other one down, but the Challenger 2's tracks were destroyed. The Challenger 2's armor was thicker, so the lighthound couldnt just tear through it's armor, so it just started pounding on it's roof armor with it's claws. This probably caused extremely loud noises within the challenger, which caused the crew of the tank to get bad hearing damage. It wasnt that bad, though. Our loader successfully loaded the DM23 round, and we blew that lightound off the tank.
We managed to take back Bratislava the following day, and the counteroffensive is still going suprisingly well.

Welcome. Here at CenoRev (Cenomanian Revival) we use complex genetic technology to re-engineer long extinct species. While our name is Cenomanian Revival, our species catalogue goes beyond that age
Here are 2 of the species currently engineered by CenoRev
Tyrannosaurus rex
Length: 12 meters
Weight: 10 tons
Diet: Carnivore
Individuals: 13
Tyrannosaurus rex was the earliest species of non-avian dinosaur re-engineered by CenoRev, It was chosen due to perfectly preserved DNA found in tissue preserved by iron. 10 individuals were originally engineered, but one pair has bred, increasing these numbers by 2. There was originally a larger clutch of eggs, but these were dug out and eaten by a giant Quetzalcoatlus. No major deviations from the original animal have been reported, although some now deceased “prototype” individuals had longer tails and backwards arm bones
Pictured: a large, rather tame individual being toured through a museum in Chicago
Stegosaurus stenops
Length: 9 meters
Weight: 1 ton
Diet: Herbivore
Individuals: 7
Stegosaurus stenops is one of the more bizzare species in our catalogue, notable for the asymmetrical rows of plates running down it's back and the large “thagomizer” on the tail. 7 individuals were originally engineered, and that number has stayed the same as they have yet to breed. No deviations from the real animal have ever been recorded
Pictured: an individual nicknamed “Big Joe” being shown off to the public for the first time at an exhibition in Britain
All of the fauna and flora engineered by CenoRev are kept on the island of Hammerland 50 miles off the coast of New Zealand with some larger species like the Therizinosauroids living in the Congo and the Amazon. An unconfirmed sighting of a Ceratosaurus foraging on garbage was reported in London, and one man who insisted on remaining anonymous supposedly spotted an Arambourgiania above the skies of Ireland. However, these sightings are likely misidentified or conjure, as CenoRev only takes single individuals to mainland for show every once in a while. So no need worry about your safety
This concludes the introduction, stay tuned for more updates

All began as far back as she appeared. Back in the earliest days, it was merely her and him. Time and Everything.
Ulotl and Xoxulla.
Ulotl had been alone for as long as he could remember, but that all changed when Xoxulla appeared. She began to make things change, planets would collide, stars would be made, and much more changed in Ulotl's life after she appeared. Remphion, the goddess of chaos, also appeared at this time.
One day, all seemed normal when they felt something.
Something moving.
Something... LIVING.
The source? A planet they called "Earth". The life was small, microscopic even, but they knew they had to protect it with their lives. Thankfully, a goddess had appeared to protect the sea's, her name was Nuheia. Upon the appearance of life, a brother and sister pair of gods appeared. The goddess of life, Kitris as the god of life and her brother Mazius as the god of death. When land appeared, the god of land Gyldes appeared with it.
Eventually, when life came far enough, the gods started choosing their forms. Ulotl chose to be an Inostrancevia, and all the other god's followed suit.
One day, Ulotl was observing a small reptile when Xoxulla came to him, begging him to cause an extinction. Ulotl was confused, but he loved Xoxulla wholeheartedly and asked her how big it should be. She said it need d\to be big enough to put the dominant synapsids out of business. He called up Remphion to cause an extinction, which she did. It was far too big, however, and ended up doing its job and killing off some unnecessary things. She got scolded heavily for this.
But it was worth it. During the "Triassic" the dominant dinosaurs began their reign. The Jurassic especially is when they dominated and flourished in diversity.
Then it came to a screeching halt.
One day, Remphion had enough with the slander against her and decided to take matters into her own hands. She started tearing apart the continents until Ulotl got involved. A little fight ensued between the two, ending with Remphion getting locked in a purgatory by the name of Vramus. After the fight, Ulotl was dubbed "King of the Gods".
One day in the late cretaceous, Ulotl had an idea. He and the other god's decided to give a few of their creature's incredible amounts of intelligence. Sure enough, only in the matter of a few thousand years, they had learned how to make fire and use spears. They made a system in which if you were good in life, you would get sent to the paradise known as Salis. Be bad and you would be sent to Vramus.
One day, something happened that horrified Kitris. A tyrannosaur by the name of Talon (He was a member of the Bone Tribe) killed a few hatchlings in his Tribe to scare his tribemates into giving him power, which failed and he got exiled. Kitris was still PISSED, as a member of the bone pack had taken what she had given for a terrible reason. She and her brother devised a plan to get revenge on the bone pack (Ignoring that it was literally ONE dude). They created less of animal and more of an extermination machine (More on that in the series).
(Heya, nonot here. This isn't ALL the lore in last pack, but I'd be here all day if I WERE to cover it all. This is just the important stuff. Thanks for reading btw!)
On the speculation Island the savannah is extensive and actually the third largest biome, behind the temperate forest and the tundra. The fauna here has very intriguing, so let's get into it!
CARNIVORES
Abelisaurs are, without a doubt, the most widespread carnivores in the savannah. Kurupi is a good example of this, being found all over the savannah. The key to the Abelisaurs success is probably their strong parental instincts and their large frontal lobes that keep them from making stupid choices.
Carcharodontosaurus is the apex predator here no questions asked. It's rapid bites with its bleed inducing teeth allow it to hunt it's prey, Shantungosaurus.
HERBIVORES
The ceratopsian Titanoceratops is quite successful here, alongside its close relative Pentaceratops.
Advanced Sauropod diversity is pretty slim, with the only two advanced species here being Lingwulong and Lapparentosaurus. Primitive sauropods are, on the other hand, incredibly widespread and diverse in the savannah. Camelotia is quite the fine example of this. Prosauropods exist here through Kholumolumo.
Therizinosaurs live here through Suzhousaurus and Paralitherizinosaurus. These animals use their claws to pull down plants and to fight off rivals and predators.
OMNIVORES
Beishanlong and Beibeilong are two animals very similiar in niche to one another, which usually puts them into competition over resources.
PISCIVORES
Suchomimus and Spinosaurus are the native Piscivores here. Spinosaurus, while usually a solely piscivorous, does like to eat some corpses every so often. It uses eye spots on Its sail to scare off the predator that originally killed the prey.
PTEROSAURS
Pterosaur diversity here is... quite slim. There are only 4 species of native pterosaurs here. These are Guidraco, Phosphatodraco, Zhenyuanopterus and the giant Arambourgiania. Much like the Spino, Arambourgiania has eye-spots On its body (In this case, the wings) To scare competition away from a corpse.
OTHER
Two Loricatans, Prestosuchus and the highly adaptable Fasolasuchus make their home here.
Whilst there is many crocodilians in the savannah the largest and without a doubt most dangerous of them all is Sarcosuchus.
Plesiosuchus, a marine croc, lives here and hunts fish and small-midsized creatures.
Three Allokotosaurs, Shringasaurus, Pamelaria and the termite specialist Teraterpeton call the savannah home.
Two Temnospondyls, Anaschisma and Aphaneramma live here.
Smilosuchus lives here.
Poposaurus and Ctenosauricus live here.
(I spent an hour on this, please help me.)

It's finally time I start the 9th fight. *The stage turns into the same stage used for the Rhamphosuchus vs Megalosaurus fight.*
I guess their won't be a dead Stegosaurus probably because it rot and decayed like what would happen to a dead body.
Anyways, we have the same Rhamphosuchus that killed off the Megalosaurus.
The other corner has the Spinosaurus that killed off the Arambourgiana.
The Spinosaurus and Rhamphosuchus would look at each other with the Spinosaurus charging at the wannabe gharial and would try to cut it up with its claws only for the Rhamphosuchus to submerge in the water and dodge the Spinosaurus before jumping out of the water and trying to bite the overrated boi on the shoulder
The Spinosaurus would leap back a few meters away before slapping the shit out of Rhamphosuchus.
The Rhamphosuchus would get back up before looking up at the Spinosaurus and would use his tail to whip the Spinosaurus on the leg causing the Spino to trip.
The Spinosaurus would roar at the Rhamphosuchus before kicking the Rhamphosuchus on the side before getting back up with the Rhamphosuchus jumping again and would try to bite the Spinosaurus, this time on the neck only for the Spinosaurus to grab the Rhamphosuchus on the neck and doing a badass and iconic Rambo throat rip killing the Rhamphosuchus brutally.
The Spinosaurus would soon wipe the blood off od his hand before letting out a roar of victory.
I can't believe this battle series was on a long hiatus.
So here be Arambourgiana, representing Jordan
And here be Telmatosaurus, representing France
2 of them
Fite momenyi:
So the 2 Telmatos are bing chilling when the
The when😳😳😳
Arambourgiana lands and he hungery. The smol herbivores try to hide as the fucking carnivorous flying Giraffe passes by, but they get spotted😳😳😳. Arambourgiana tries to spear one with beak but he dodge. The other one also gets up and charges at Arambo from behind. Arambourgiana fricking falls to the ground but gets up.
Rambo takes to the skies, and the Telmatos are like: We did it? But them Rambo comes back and spears one of them with its beak before retreating to the skies again. The one remaining Telmato looks around, not knowing what to do, but then Rambo lands behind him fricking grabs him by the neck with his wing and
Fatality.
I'm too lazy to check the votes, but Rambo had more.
Anky was an brutal antisocial
All dinosaurs were monogamous (The same couple for the whole life)
Spino like to ate hawsonia
Quetzie was a virgin
Arambour was an absoulute virgin
Hatzeg was the real chad
Bary liked to swim when the day was very heat
Balaur singed like a birb in the morning
