Compreensive list of dinosaurs (canon and non canon) that should be included in the game at some point.
For this list I tried to pick more unique dinosaurs that could be easily distinguised from dinosaurs already in the game and could bring something new to the table.
Feel free to give other suggestions;
-
Ankylosaurs.
Zuul (?)
Minotaurasaurus (?)
Canon
Elaphrosaurus (could be a included as a slender omnivorous ornithomimosaur lookalike)
Euoplocephalus
Herrerasaurus
Pachyrhinosaurus
Proceratosaurus
Rugops
Teratophoneus
Ceratopsians
Diabloceratops
Einiosaurus
Nasutoceratops
Udanoceratops (or Avaceratops or Zuniceratops)
Xenoceratops (this coud be replaced by Albertaceratops, Medusaceratops or any other ceratopsian with more ornate heads).
Hadrosaurs
Shantungosaurus (as the true gigantic – T.rex sized – hadro).
JPOG
Acrocanthosaurus
Alioramus (or Xiongguanlong – as the long snouted tyrannosaurs)
Dryosaurus
Ouranosaurus
Tenontosaurus
Thescelosaurus
Yangchuanosaurus
Novel reference
Callovosaurus
Mussaurus
Ornitholestes?
Other movie references
Agujaceratops (?)
Alamosaurus (as the true giant and armored sauropod)
Concavenator
Datousaurus (mentioned in the JP3 junior novel as the corpse the T.rex was eating).
Pachycephalosaurs
Tylocephale (tallest dome of all the pachys) ???
Prenocephale??
Raptors
Austroraptor
Sauropods
Amargasaurus
Brontosaurus (as the accurate ‘Apato’. Fat-necked, spikes and all).
Europasaurus (or Magyarosaurus)
Nigersaurus
Lingwulong (or Brachytrachelopan or Bonitasaura)
Saltasaurus (or Ampelosaurus)
Small carnivores
Coelophysis
Masiakasaurus
Tanycolagreus
Small herbivores
Chilesaurus (could easily fill the Dryosaurus niche)
Macrocollum (or Unaysaurus)
Oryctodromeus (with burrowing behavior)
Struthiosaurus
Zalmoxes (instead of Dryosaurus?)
Stegosaurs
Dacentrurus (or Miragaia or Alcovasaurus)
Hesperosaurus or Tuojiangosaurus (these two are the only stegosaurs that look slightly --- SLIGHTLY – diferent from others already in the game).
Tyrannosaurs
Albertosaurus
Zhuchengtyrannus (or Tarbosaurus)
Nanuqsaurus (as the dwarf tyrant)
Other suggestions
Australovenator (or Megaraptor)
Centrosaurus
Cryolophosaurus
Ichthyovenator
Monolophosaurus
Nemegtosaurus (armored sauropod with really strong legs)
Plateosaurus
Psittacosaurus
Sinosaurus (as the accurate Dilo lookalike)
Torvosaurus
Turiasaurus
Vagaceratops
If feathered versions are implemented
Anzu or Citipati / Oviraptor
Deinocheirus
Gigantoraptor
Therizinosaurus
Yutyrannus
If truly small dinosaurs are implemented
Compsognathus
Halzkaraptor
Microceratus
Segisaurus
Staurikosaurus (as a TLW The game homage)
Wannanosaurus
Notes:
** Hadrosaurus, Hoplitosaurus, Nipponosaurus and Peloroplites were omitted due to being extremely similar to other dinosaurs already in game.
** Wuerhosaurus omitted due to the likeness of it being too similar to Stegosaurus. The rectangular plates were a misinterpretation of the fossils.
** Homalocephale omitted due to it (probably) being just a juvenile Prenocephale (yes, I know the same could be said about Draco and Stigy).
Suggested behaviors:
** Lurdusaurus: omited from the list, but if introduced it would be cool to have a semi-aquatic hippo like version of the Iguanodon.
** Oryctodromeus (and possibly other small ornithopods): burrowing habilities.
** Spinosaurs: Should be allowed to fish.
