The thread title basically says it all but what dinosaurs would you want to see paizo take a crack at constructing?

Here's my working list

Styracosaurus
Carnotaurus
Acrocanthosaurus
Utahraptor
Archaeopteryx
Giganotosaurus
Saltasaurus

What else do people want to see?


Giganotosaurus most certainly good sir, but maybe presented like Dino Crisis 2 presented it. Archaeopteryx familiar would be bad ass.

Carnotaurus is my biggest one. That being said I just get excited whenever any new ones get published.

T-rex and velociraptor

Yeah that was totally what I was seeing for Archaeopteryx, I would totally run a wizard with that familiar.

Also T.Rex is already statted up in Bestiary 1. You can actually start with one as an animal companion.

Now I'm not sure if we've gotten a true Velociraptor yet but if not I would love to see one redone in an accurate fashion maybe even as a familiar option like compsognathus.

Yeah, here's hoping for it having a cool gore attack combined with some nasty charge and trample abilities...

Ohh my god I now want to see them as a mount option.

You can make a Velociraptor by adding the young template to a Deinonychus. For added realism, cover them in feathers :)

No joke, I am blissfully ignorant of the bestiaries


Acrocanthosaurus
Archaeopteryx or Microraptor (Any of the small, feathered raptors like these would be a cool familiar)
Liopleurodon
Gorgonops
Shonisaurus
Carcharodontosaurus
Kentrosaurus

Granted, not all of these are dinosaurs, and I'm sure I could think of others. But my biggest concern is their artwork. So many of the dinos in the Bestiaries could really do with makeovers.

I'd also like to see several of the giant mammals that came after, such as Stegotetrabelodon, Machairotherium, or Uintatherium.

I don't really use the dinos much; but if I had to choose one, Protoceratops. (Yes, yes, I could use the Young template on a triceratops, but it's just not the same.)


Coelophysis (especially as swarm)
Hypacrosaurus (as herd animals)
Therizinosaurus (herbivore with big sharp nasty claws)

I don't use the dinos at all. I have a prohibition against them in my homebrew. The mammals and therapsids, however, I use the heck out of.

Don't consider those pages waste of space, DungeonmasterCal - if you reskin 'em right, the PCs never realize what the base critter was. Once you slap fur on a spinosaur and change its shape, it's just a Really Big Wooly Monster. I used the same trick on deinonychi once to create racing birds for the Great Arena... I just left off the forearm claw attacks.


LH, that's a great idea!

Statistics dictate that a few of my ideas have to be. Now if only I could tell which ones they were...
