Hello, once again I’m looking at every creature in the Dino Dan franchise. We’re now at the final stretch as we begin with the new Creatures from Dino Dana. To recap, I’m looking at each creatures’ design, behavior and any other information given and looking at how accurate/inaccurate it is and some personal notes on the design itself.
Positives = Accuracies
IDK = Can’t find or tell weather that’s accurate/possible or not
Negatives = Inaccuracies
Stellar design for the first new creature of the series. The orange with white stripes is nice on its own and the green spikes really sell it for me. I also really like the shape and kinda prefer the long neck.
In terms of pure aesthetics, this is fine, but honestly I prefer stuff like the Primeval Titanoboa (hottake). Also the pink comes off as a bit humiliating, more so than the yellow on the Rex and Tricera. Also, interesting this is what they went for as first Cenozoic of the series
That stupid goofy feather cut really tanks the design for me. A feather cut which every individual Incisivo has BTW. That and the head is bizarrely small, the lack of proper wings and the color not really doing anything for me. Notability, the 2D app version of this design lacks the dumb feather cut, making it automatically better.
Say for the lack of hooves, this design looks pretty good overall. With that said, purple with yellow spots has got to be the most humiliating coloration of any creature in the show yet (the male looks a bit better though).
The mix of purple, red, blue and green look gorgeous in Sinornitho. It rivals Kosmo and Futa for favorite of any creature in the show. The head also looks nice, Unfortunately, it still lacks wings but whatever. Fix the wings and the skinny-ness, then the design will be perfect.
Meg is a fine creature in general and I primarily only dislike Meg design when they’re just Great White but big. While going the thicc boi route would have been preferable, I do really like the black with purple spots and stripes look.
Also, before you say it’s too big, I can head-canonize the IMAGINARY submarine as being bigger inside like the Tardis. Also I find so bizarre how Meg and Livy are seen exclusively in Dana’s imagination
I actually prefer feathered medium boi Nanuq. This design looks really good with the black n white color and the spots and I prefer the old thinner build, tho this might be a bit too thin. Also the roar is sometimes cool and other times annoying.
This might be one of my favorite designs in the show. Horn length aside, the build is splendid and the grayish-blue with orange frill are just fantastic. Accurate and appealing, A+.
It’s not big surprise this design is super accurate, you’d have to try to make a bad wooly design. This one looks really good too, but the design really speaks for it
Smilodon looks really cool too, I love white face markings and shades of brown and the leopard spots (though you can’t really see from the photo). I’m pretty this is meant to be S.fatalis. Good kitty.
While I do wish the skull and skin were ironed out, the overall design looks nice and the horse splotches look really cool, I don’t care how inaccurate or on the nose it is. Also the straight up horse noises are ironically funny.
Also weird they still won’t add an ornithomimid but did add Hippodraco of all dinosaurs (not that I’m complaining about horse dragon)
While it sucks that this guy is a reskin, the orange brown with white stripes is still gorgeous. I also kinda prefer this design over both Maia and Edmonto
Updated notes (updates in highlights): Thank you so everyone who pointed some of these out it me.
Had to look close at the feet to see if I was right or not. Also I didn’t know forehead nostrils were inaccurate for Brachio.
I decided that for Stygi and Draco the invalid genus inaccuracy only applies to the series since it’s (kinda) fixed in the movie.
Reworded to just say Troodon is dubious
Had a good close look at the Theri feet are there are 4 toes
Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed and goodbye.
