Thalassodromeus TLC ideas and references
Hello! With the new wave of TLCs coming, and hatze and rhamph (coming soon) being ingame, I think it'd be good if thalassodromeus got a visual and ability update, not only to improve its design accuracy wise, but to match hatz in quality and gameplay versatility.
I'd like to suggest some visual updates, using Randomdinos skeletal as a reference (the most up to date skeletal of this species so far). This would include a straighter beak, slightly longer neck, and a more upright posture. I made a concept showing how the current subspecies would look like following these new proportions (also made robustus resemble tupuxuara more). Alongside this, thala would benefit from new locomotion animations, to make sure its wings fold properly and don't break while moving. A downsize would also be appreciated, to fit thala's bulk stats and hurtbox more.
Abilities to help thala be more versatile would be great, letting it chose between aerial, land or water builds.
Thanks for reading!

The Thal needs some more types of atks and abilities please. A TLC for this beloved dino would be awesome, possibly some type of dive bomb atk since it really the only flyer that can dive really fast in game -

AnthonyIt’s nearly 2026 and thal players are still desperately needing better attacks.
Sure, we can kill slow large moving dinos if we sit and bite them for 45 minutes+ but it would be nice to have a stronger bite/peck.
Attack Ideas:
• an attack that could be coupled with a Thals speed dives to deal extra damage would be incredible. (Higher speed = harder hit)
• a bite/peck that does increased damage to wet or swimming dinos as thal is a semi-aquatic would be amazing. Also considering that thal kills happen most when a Dino is crossing water/swimming to try and escape other attackers.
Hope this gets seen, thank you for all you do devs. -

Rufussin2025 and this TLC is not yet among us, it has been exactly two years since the Thalassodromeus was launched, and everything wrong still remains, I understand Alderon in having used this model, but science I've been constantly evolving, and your remodeling idea is incredibly precise, the only thing I didn't like was the presentation of the crests, I think something irregular like T. Sethi's wouldn't make much sense.But the more scientifically correct it is, the better.

melissathala should get a clamp ability just like hatz because it would not be OP because there are not many things that are smaller than thala and because thala is a semi aquatic it grab players drop them into the water to drown them.

the_CrimsonChenAs someone who mainly uses thal, I really really think it needs a tlc. Right now its basically just a troll dino.
Give it some sort of powerful dive ability, increase its oxygen and stamina in water, and maybe give it more health. A cool ability where you could dive down causing damage and maybe even attach to a dino would be incredible.
Thank you
