A few more Hadrosaurs that are needed in JWE2.

[Jurassic Tyrant King]

well these animals I would definitely consider for two slots are definitely bigger and smaller than their relatives in the game I know they'll be considered just other hadrosaurs in the game but maybe not this time, true there are other candidates for inclusion but I chose to go with these two for particular reasons.

Shuntungosaurus - was the largest hadrosaur that had ever lived and rivaled the sauropods in size however most paleontologists believe that the immense size of this dinosaur kept it from being preyed upon by threats such as Zuchengtyrannis and it may have even defended themselves against these giant Tyrannosaurs, and of course paleontologists do believe that with the absence of sauropods in its environment hence why it grew to such an immense size this species. I would definitely love to see this species added to the game due to the fact that it could possibly have fighting capabilities and be the only hadrosaur in the game so far that can defend itself from carnivores. So I recommend Frontier to consider when designing this dinosaur for Jurassic world Evolution 2 this species should have fighting capabilities against large to small theropods.

Ajnabia - of course this is Africa's first and only hadrosaur ever found on the continent of Africa, And is even considered the smallest hadrosaur species ever found in the entire world because so far it is currently the smallest ever discovered by far of its Genus.

This is just my take on this particular group on the last two members I think should be added to the game but what do you all think I'd love to hear if you agree or don't agree or what species would you prefer of Hadrosaurs. Because to me these two should be considered for candidacy for the frontier developers to put into the game as the last two members of this group.

 

[VSSEMike]

What do you say about Hadrosaurus? It appeared in the original novel version of Jurassic Park.

As for Lambeosaurus, the feasibility have to do with the crest.

Well I would have to say as long as they distinguish them from other dinosaurs especially Hadrosaurus itself I wouldn't mind having these two as well but I still prefer the ones above on this thread but still I would like Hadrosaurus nonetheless for lore reasons. I would definitely love Frontier developers to consider making it look different than other hydrosaurs in the game kind of like how they did with Alamosaurus and dreadnoughtus.

If they did add Hadrosaurus to the game I would definitely like it to look similar to this image to distinguish it from maiasaura or Muttaburrasaurus.

Lambeosaurus-lambei itself would definitely be a great addition plus it doesn't really need any changes and I really hope that this species eventually does make it. but chuncky.

 

[Vanguard 1998]

Hadrosaurus, Ajnabia and or Shuntungosaurus would make good additions to the game. Some other species that could make nice additions to the game include:
Magnapaulia, A genus of herbivorous lambeosaurine hadrosaurid dinosaurs known from the Latest Cretaceous Baja California, of northwestern Mexico. Some researchers believed this species was water-bound, due to features like its size, its tall and narrow tail (interpreted as a swimming adaptation), and weak hip articulations, as well as a healed broken thigh bone that they thought would have been too much of a handicap for a terrestrial animal to have survived long enough to heal.

Tethyshadros, A genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur from Trieste, Italy that lived during the late Cretaceous period. It was recently featured in Prehistoric Planet 2.

Secernosaurus, A genus of herbivorous dinosaur. Secernosaurus was a hadrosaur, a "duck-billed" dinosaur which lived during the Late Cretaceous. Secernosaurus and its close relatives lived in South America, unlike most hadrosaurs, which lived in the Laurasian continents of Eurasia and North America. It has been suggested that the ancestors of Secernosaurus crossed into South America when a land bridge temporarily formed between North and South America during the Late Cretaceous and allowed biotic interchange between the two continents. It was featured in the Prehistoric Planet Documentary series.

Kamuysaurus, A genus of herbivorous edmontosaurin saurolophine hadrosaurid dinosaur from Late Cretaceous Maastrichtian marine deposits of the Yezo Group (Hakobuchi Formation) in the Hobetsu area near the town of Mukawa, Hokkaido in Japan. The find from 2013 was nicknamed Mukawaryu, the "Dragon of Mukawa".

Camptosaurus, A genus of plant-eating, beaked ornithischian dinosaurs of the Late Jurassic period of western North America and possibly also Europe. The name means 'flexible lizard'. It has been featured in the Planet Dinosaur documentary series.

uisaurus, A genus of herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous in what is now Japan. Its name means fortunate lizard.

Lurdusaurus, A genus of massive and unusually shaped iguanodont dinosaur from the Elrhaz Formation in Niger. The formation dates to the Early Cretaceous, roughly 112 million years ago. Lurdusaurus has a highly atypical body plan for an iguanodont, with a small skull, long neck, rotund torso, and powerful forelimbs and claws, somewhat reminiscent of a ground sloth. The holotype specimen consisted of a nearly complete adult iguanodont skeleton with a fragmentary skull belonging to single individual. Its name means heavy lizard.

Proa valdearinnoensis, A genus of basal styracosternan iguanodont known from the Early Cretaceous Escucha Formation of the Teruel Province, Spain. The generic name is from the Spanish word "proa" (meaning "prow"), which alludes to the pointed shape of the animal's predentary bone; while the specific name is derived from Val de Ariño, the traditional name for the coal mines near where the first fossils were found. The animal was described on the basis of three partial skeletons and several skull elements from different individuals.

 

[Ceratosaurus]

It'd be great if they walked on all 4 legs too. I wish Parasaurolophus had this trait too...
Seeing them on their hind legs 99% of the time just feels weird.

 

[VSSEMike]

Camptosaurus would be a great Jurassic addition.

Canardia is smaller than Ajnabia. Ajnabia is small. But it's only just slightly smaller than Blasisaurus and bigger than Kazaklambia (which is a juvenile to be fair).

Either way, both Ajnabia and Shantungosaurus would make for good additions to the game.

Just for clarification, the Secernosaurus shown in Prehistoric Planet were actually a new species of hadrosaur called Huallasaurus but that information came too late when they finished production.

 

[Vanguard 1998]

@DeathPhantom533 and @LordTrilobite To be honest, Huallasaurus and or Kazaklambia would probably make nice additions as well.

We don't know what an adult Kazaklambia looks like tho. The crest could be any shape. Although the same could be said for Ajnabia.


Hadrosaurs I would like to see in the game are:

• Lambeosaurus lambei
• Nipponosaurus (canon to JW)
• Tlatolophus
• Gryposaurus
• Shantungosaurus
• Saurolophus
• Hadrosaurus (canon to the books)
• Tethyshadros

That would give a nice diversity of shapes and sizes from different continents.

 

[VSSEMike]

If anybody here is aware of the upcoming update tomorrow, I am not pleased about it.

I thought Hadrosaurus will be added to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Jurassic Park film, as it appeared in the original novel version.

They'll probably add it later in a dinosaur pack maybe a month or two away because we just recently had the feathered pack so I'm not surprised we didn't get any dinosaur packs right now.

The Feathered Species Pack came out on March 30, 2023. I got the dinosaur DLC pack on the previous month when there was a Steam discount for it.

Hadrosaurus is one of the secondary missing ingredient for the Jurassic-Park-type park. It is applicable in the classic Jurassic Park in Isla Nublar 1993 and the ultimate Jurassic Park. Hadrosaurus is one of the Jurassic Park exclusives.

Exactly perfect excuse to include a prosauropod into the game and this species definitely has a higher chance of being added because of its connection to the novel.

This year is to celebrate the franchise's first instalment even if it is on the movie adaptation. It is hard to say about in the next four years.

Nice selection.

 

[TheMightyMegalosaurus]

Shantungosaurus and Magnapaulia are my biggest (har) choices. 16.5-meter titans that eclipse even the Indominus rex in size, especially with Magnapaulia's distinct tall back and tail thanks to lengthy neurospines. A few of the small hadrosaurs would be great as well.

Along with/aside from new hadrosaurs, some behavior additions and changes would be nice. Against medium and large theropods they could have a chance to swing their tails at a pursuer, knocking them off-balance or even completely off their feet while making their escape. Against small pack hunters they could bowl over and trample ones in their path while running.
