What happened to Tarbosaurus?
Thanks for telling me.
Still a lot of good choices for an Asia continent pack...
- Psittacosaurus or Yinlong
- Guanlong
- Zhenyuanopterus
- Inostrancevia
I like your idea Dragon. What is your opinion on Zhejiangopterus?
It's not bad... it's one of the better known azdarchids, and much smaller than Quetzalcoatlus, so it definitely looks different.
What do you think of these species?
Shenzhoupterus A species of chaoyangopterid pterosaur from the Jiufotang Formation in Liaoning, China. The genus name is derived from Shenzhou, an old name for China, "the divine land", and a Latinized Greek pteron, "wing".
Eosipterus, A species of ctenochasmatid pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous period of Liaoning, China found in the Yixian Formation. It was the first pterosaur discovered in that region. The genus name is derived from Greek eos, "dawn" and Greek pteron, "wing" with a Latin ending; and a grammar error: normally the combination would have resulted in "eopterus".
Ningchengopterus, A species of pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous period found in the Yixian Formation in China. It is known from an almost complete juvenile specimen.
Eoazhdarcho
Sinornithosaurus, A genus of feathered dromaeosaurid dinosaur from the early Cretaceous Period (late Barremian) of the Yixian Formation in what is now China. At one point, some scientists thought it was venomous based on the grooves on some of its teeth and a cavity located in the skull just above the teeth, but this has since been disproven.
Changyuraptor, It is known from a single fossil specimen representing the species Changyuraptor yangi, which was discovered from Early Cretaceous deposits in Liaoning Province, China. At the time of its discovery, C. yangi was the largest four-winged dinosaur known and among the largest Mesozoic flying paravians.
Kazakhstanosaurus, An undorosaurid ichthyosaur from the Late Jurassic of Kazakhstan and Russia.
Malawania, A basal thunnosaur ichthyosaur known from the middle Early Cretaceous from Iraq. It is much more primitive than other Cretaceous ichthyosaurs, being most closely related to Ichthyosaurus from the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic, over 70 million years earlier than Malawania, with all other known ichthyosaurs from the Late Jurassic onwards belonging to the family Ophthalmosauridae.
Guizhouichthyosaurus, An of ichthyosaur known primarily from the Xiaowa Formation from the Late Triassic in southwest China. Researchers found the remains of a 12 foot long thalattosaur in the stomach of one specimen, which is thought to be the first evidence of mega predation.
Kourisodon, A species of mosasaur from late Cretaceous period Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada and the Izumi Group of Japan. Kourisodon was originally described as a member of the Leiodontini, more recently as a Clidastine.

I like Sinornithosaurus & Ninchengopterus.
The idea of having Protoceratops, Microraptor, Shantungosaurus and Gigantoraptor in the same pack is PERFECT! I would die for it hahahahaha
Hopefully we get the Tarbosaurus and Microceratus. But I do hope we get some of the Asian dinosaurs above too. This EVO video was from earlier this year.

But not in this DLC!
