Some creature design ideas

Though I enjoy the work of the art team, they could have added looks that re inspired by some of the prehistoric life from our world. If anyone ever watched some of the older BBC documentaries, you know what I mean. Here’s a list of some of prehistoric animals that could be added to the game or could be used to make creatures in the game from different time periods:

1.Paleozoic :
Trilobites
Gorgonopsids
Scutosaurs
Synapsids or mammal-like reptiles
Moschops
Diplocaulus
Lystrosaurus

  1. Mesozoic:
    Therizinosaurus (imagine a raid boss like this)
    Some other versions of ceratopsians (direhorns) like Pachyrhinosaurus or Styracosaurus
    Pachycephalosaurus
    Duck-billed dinos like Parasaurolophus or Edmontosaurus
    Oviraptor
    Gallimimus
    Kaprosuchus
    Other variants of Sauropods and Pterosaurs
    Carnotaurus
    Allosaurus

3.Cenozoic
Terror birds
some other fomrs of elephants like less hairy Mammoths like the Columbians one, four-tusked elephants (they existed) and Deinotherium
Wooly rhinos (with the tauralus skeletons not the kodo ones)
Elasmotherium
Paraceratherium
Brontotherium
Chalicotherium (with different varians, one can be the standard one used for farming and a “swole” one used for warfare)
Hyaenodon and its relatives
Entelodonts
Bear dogs
Borophaginae or bone-crusher dogs
Some other Ice Age megafaunal animals like
Megatherium
new type of Dire horse
Australian megafauna such as giant Kangaroos, Thylacoleo, Megalanias, Quinakana and Diprotodon and Genyornis
Megaloceros
Okapis and Sivatherium
Ostriches as well (they could use the crane skeleton)
Argentavis (using the new Sapphire skyblazer model)

Alternatively, they could look at some of the speculative zoology works out there and make creatures based on those designs. If anyone remebers the series primeval, there was a creature called the future predator that evolved from bats. There are also works by Dougal Dixon such as After Man and the New Dinosaurs, the internet project called Specworld where the Dinosaurs didn’t go extinct, the book All Tomorrows which is now exploding in popularity thanks to the Internet and the TV show The Future is Wild.

Do you like the idea?

They really missed so much opportunity to add some of these animals into Zandalar/Pandaria where they would’ve fitted in so well. Great suggestions though.

Oh I’d absolutely love to see some more skeletons.
