Hello, I, CosmicHydra64, am new to this wiki. I am looking forward to contributing to the wiki. My favorite dinosaur is Spinosaurus and my favorite JP movie is Fallen Kingdom. Some of my hobbies are drawing, reading, competitive archery, and collecting Star Wars Legos.

My top five favorite dinosaurs are Spinosaurus, Carnotaurus, Ankylosaurus, Concavenator, and Guanlong.

My five favorite prehistoric creatures are Tylosaurus, Smilodon, Aussiedraco, Glyptodon, and Varanus priscus.

I hope I will enjoy my stay here.

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.

The colors are partially (but not completely) based on a Jaguar. This might have the most complicated pattern of any animal I've drawn so far. For the spots, I decided to make 6 different shapes and then copy and resize them.

Appearance:

Saber is much more bulkier than previous Smilodons like S.Populator. He has teeth that have sharp edges that help him with clamping onto prey, he has lots of fur underneath his chin, he has a large mane that starts from his head and ends on his back, he has a short tail, stripes that look like blades of grass, along with three stripes on his face and one on his eye, he also wears a bandana that has the crest of the Flare Tribe on it which is a Phoenix on top of a mountain.

Colors:

His eyes and bandana are orange, his mouth and the outer part of the Flare Tribe crest is red. his ear, nose, and the inner part of the crest are black, his claws are grey, his teeth are a bone color, his hair is brown, the top part of his body is colored a faded yellow and his underbelly is cream. His stripes are a swampy green.

Personality and History:

Saber was born to a prestigious family due to his bloodline being that of the royal family of the Flare Tribe. This meant that Saber would command respect instantly even if he was just young.

During his life as a cub, he was given to the princess of the Flare Tribe, Fla Alinta. She always wanted a partner like her father so when she got Saber, she was very excited. It wasn't easy managing him though. With him being a feline, he wasn't really into playing games like a dog, he would mostly do his own thing and sometimes he would even annoy his owner due to him not listening to her.

It even got to the point that she briefly considered having a different partner due to how aggressive Saber was. Unlike most of the inhabitants of Mount Phoenix, he was the one who most would call as primitive in terms of how he acted. He hunted at his own accord and often wandered off to explore the rest of the village he lived in.

This eventually let to Fla snapping at Saber and complaining about the fact that he wasn't responsive. What she didn't know was that he was far more intelligent than she thought and was actually offended by what she had said. It led to him threatening her with a growl. After that he fled off into the night leaving Fla without a partner.

Feeling guilty and worried. Fla immediately set out to find him without her father's knowledge. She snuck out in the middle of the night to go look for him, before being stopped by one of the archers from the village. She was then sent back to her father where she wouldn't tell him about Saber because if she did, there might be some consequences that could arise from it.

Five days past, and Saber was still missing. At that point, Fla didn't even care if what she did seemed irrational. She rushed out of the village as fast as she could to locate him. She blamed herself for putting him in such a dangerous position, he was on his own and had nobody to depend on.

While searching for him, Fla got tired and decided to rest, not knowing that there was something nearby that was watching her. The forest she ended up in was called Hell Pig Forest, home of the Enteledons.

When she realized what was going on, she tried to fight back using a crossbow, but she underestimated the amount of Enteledons that were in the area. Three more appeared. And if that wasn't bad enough, one of them broke her crossbow.

Feeling helpless, she called out Saber's name in a vein attempt to somehow summon him to her rescue. But there was no response and the Enteledons were closing in on her.

The tension was broken when one of the Hell Pigs was dragged away while the other three weren't looking. All they heard was an angry mammalian growl.

Saber then lunged for the Enteledons. With him being the larger animal, he made short work of the smaller mammals. Tossing them around like ragdolls and slamming them into trees. After the fight with the Hell Pigs, Fla immediately embraced Saber and apologized for everything she had said to him. The big cat blankly stared at her for a moment, before licking her face.

Later on, he would develop a rivalry with the Lunar Tribe's Bear Dog, Aki the Amphicyon. The main reason they were opposed to each other was because the two tribes were at war, and she always targeted him because Aki thought that Saber was the only opponent on the battle field worth wasting time on because he was actually putting up a fight against her.

His relationship with the Fossil Riders' animals, those being Frost, Makashin, Gard, and Seeker is relatively positive. Although Gard being a herbivorous mammal didn't take kindly towards Saber since he was a carnivore at first. But as the years went by, Gard has become desensitized to the fact that most of his friends were predators. Him and Saber even wander around Mount Phoenix together sometimes.

Over the years, Saber has mellowed out and is not as aggressive towards his rider as he was before. He has also grown a close bond with Fla after her changing her attitude towards him. This has caused him to exhibit behaviors that aren't usually expected for cats of his size.

He likes his neck being rubbed and he has also decided to spend more time with Fla as he got older. He also had a good relationship with the Lunar Tribe's prince, Tsukasa Haruki since he was Fla's boyfriend. He would often swim with him whenever they'd get the chance. Because of him being a big cat, he is not scared of dipping his paws into some water.

When he's present during royal meetings, he's always seen in a seating position and is always resting on some kind of cushion.

Trivia:

• Originally he was going to be a different big cat. Maybe Dinofelis. But because I'm such a big fan of Smilodon, I couldn't resist putting it into one of my stories.

• Saber's roars sound vaguely like tigers but his are more deeper which is used to scare his opponents.

• He is one of the only animals in Sauria who wears something other than a saddle.

• Saber, despite his aggression, likes his hair being combed by his rider. Mostly because he likes it when someone rubs his fur and makes it soft.

• He was supposed to belong to Fla's father, but I changed it midway through.

• The idea of a big cat having a bond with a princess was inspired by Princess Jasmine's relationship with her pet tiger, Rajah from Aladdin.

• His name isn't actually a reference to my username as some would think. It's more or less a reference to the generic Smilodon name "Saber tooth cat" or "Saber tooth tiger" I didn't even realize the coincidence until much later.

• His lifespan isn't confirmed. But it's made very clear that he can survive longer than any modern day cat.

• He has a disdain for bugs and anything that's small and crawly. This is due to him encountering a centipede that was larger than usual ones while he was sleeping. Ever since, he's always felt the need to crush any bug that's near him. Even if it's not bothering him.

• He was going to look a little different. Originally, what I had in mind was for him to look like a snow leopard. But I thought that slapping a modern day big cat's look onto a Smilodon was a bit lazy. So me and my brother made our own cat patterns.

• Saber only purrs when he's around Fla and he specifically does it whenever nobody is looking because in his mind, it would diminish his status as an apex predator.

• He's one of the most intelligent animals on the island due to him being able to understand when somebody is talking to him in a negative way. It's not that he can understand everything they're saying, but their tone of voice is all he needs to identify what they mean.

• Winter is his favorite season. Not because the village has a festival of sorts during that time, but because it's easier for him to hunt under the cover of snow.

• He doesn't really mind dogs or things that somewhat look like them. It's just Aki he dislikes because she's his biggest rival. But he can tell the difference between her and the rest of her kind seeing as none of them have tried to fight him.
