Common Name:KairukuSpecies:Kairuku WaitakiTime:Late PaleoceneDiet:PiscivorousTemperament:FriendlyDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:NoWild: Kairuku Waitaki is an amazingly docile and friendly creature, everything but fish. Honestly, I’m not quite sure how Kairuku manages to stay populated across the island’s colder climes, with the many predators stalking these frozen lands.Domesticated: There is no reason to tame Kairuku for combat, since they are useless in a fight. […]
Common Name:ArthroplueraSpecies:Arthropluera FelsanguisTime:Early PermianDiet:Carrion FeederTemperament:AggressiveDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:YesWild: The fact that this creature exists is enough to give me nightmares. Like the island’s other Arthropods, Arthropluera Felsanguis has become much larger than I might have believed possible. It’s a very aggressive hunter, but prefers to eat meat after it has rotted for some time, and will voraciously seek out […]
Common Name:EurypteridSpecies:Jaekelopterus EuryperusTime:SilurianDiet:CarnivoreTemperament:Aggressive if approachedDomesticationTameable:NoRideable:NoWild: Found only in the deepest depths of the waters around the island, Eurypterids are dangerous and adaptable Arthropods. As likely to hunt as they are to scavenge, a Eurypterid rarely has difficulty finding food to keep itself nourished, even at the bottom of the ocean.Domesticated: While Eurypterid are not intelligent enough […]
Common Name:TherizinosaurSpecies:Therizinosaur MultiensisTime:Late CretaceousDiet:HerbivoreTemperament:AggressiveDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:YesWild: I’m not entirely sure how Therizinosaur Multiensis stays populated on the island. It is surprising slow for it’s size, and is a solitary creative (so no pack to back it up). I suppose the fact that it’s sheer power rivals Tyrannosaurus is the only thing that allows this very aggressive medium-sized […]
Common Name:MegalocerosSpecies:Megaloceros LatuscoronamTime:PlioceneDiet:HerbivoreTemperament:SkittishDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:YesWild: Megaloceros Latuscoronam is a very skittish herbivore, found mostly in the forests and mountains of the island. Because of its large size, its fraught demeanor would be strange in any other place. But Megaloceros knows how fierce the predators if the island are, and knows that it is safer to flee from them […]
Common Name:KaprosuchusSpecies:Kaprosuchus PaludentiumTime:Late CretaceousDiet:CarnivoreTemperament:AggressiveDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:YesWild: A smaller relative of the Sarcosuchus, Kaprosuchus Paludentium is water-based carnivore primarily found lurking among the Island’s swamps. A naturally fast runner that is even faster in the water, it is a solitary hunter that picks off small-to-medium creatures especially those isolated from their pack. When attacking Kaprosuchus uses two main […]
Common Name:AllosaurusSpecies:Allosaurus TherotribusTime:Late JurassicDiet:CarnivoreTemperament:Aggressively SocialDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:Yes Wild: Smaller but faster than Tyrannosaurus, larger but slower than Carnotaurus, Allosaurus Therotribus is the island’s resident pack-hunting theropod. While most aggressive theropods are relatively solitary creatures, Allosaurus lives in groups of 3-4. One Allosaurus is the Alpha, while the others are its mates or a beta male.Known Information: Like humans find […]
Common Name:Terror BirdSpecies:Phorusrhacidae RapidesultorTime:Late PaleoceneDiet:CarnivoreTemperament:AggressiveDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:YesWild: Ranging from eight to twelve feet tall, Phorusrhacidae Rapidesultor is a highly aggressive avian that is just barely capable of very brief “flight”. Instead, it uses its wings primarily for balance during its high-speed sprints. Phorusrhacidae flight is actually closer to an impressive sustained leap or glide that is assisted and […]
Common Name:HesperornisSpecies:Hesperornis AvenatantesTime:Late CretaceousDiet:PiscivorousTemperament:FlippantDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:UnknownWild: Appearing as something of a half-duck-half-dinosaur, Hesperornis is a medium-sized fish-eating bird, common in the rivers and lakes os the island. It would be about two-thirds the height of a human, if it stood tall, but it rarely does. Hesperornis spends most of its time gliding along the surface of the water, […]
Common Name:LystrosaurusSpecies:Lystrosaurus AmicifidelisTime:Late Permian – Early TriassicDiet:HerbivoreTemperament:LoyalDomesticationTameable:YesRideable:UnknownWild: Lystrosaurus Aicifidelis is a small herbivore, common to much of the island. Only about two feet long, it is not high on the food chain, and eats small plant life. The poisonous insects of the island seem to have little effect on Lystrosaurus.Domesticated: Not surprisingly, Lystrosaurus is an extremly […]
