Add Carboniferous Creatures to the Roster

31 votes

While technically not from the same time periods as what we think of as dinosaurs, I think adding Arthropods from the Carboniferous Period like Meganeura and Arthropleura would be cool.
Arthropleura would worm similar to Anodontasaurus, as a bulky tank, but it'd be really fast in exchange for less overall health.
Meganeura would probably be really hard to implement, since it's a Gryphonfly species and as such, has a two stage life cycle like dragonflies. As a Nymph, it'd be an aquatic ambush hunter, and as a sub-adult and adult, it'd be a fast airborne menace. While not strong, it would be able to fly for long periods of time without resting, though due to it's small size, it wouldn't be able to fly anywhere near as high as other flyers.

I'm probably asking for too much, but it doesn't hurt to ask. (also, don't yell at me for the scientifically inaccurate pic. only one I could find with both arthropods in it without anything else)

more creatures from differnet periods would be interesting as well as different things other than dinosaurs, perhaps not in a form of playables but as an ai enchancing the world and players expireince, some of bugs could basicaly be like critters but freeroaming for some playables to eat, while we're at critters it would be quite fun if we could control critters and play as them in singleplayer or private server even if the expirience would be extremely limited.

I would think it would be amazing if they could somehow manage an aquatic as child flyer as adult thing. Maybe it could have its own mini-quest to climb out of the water before the game unlocks those last two stages of development. Like you get your bar full but then you do a small thing to complete it. But if that's not possible Arthropleura should be plenty doable unless the game has some kind of lore that goes against stuff from higher oxygen atmosphere surviving this game's milti-time moshpit. I assume this won't be an issue though.
