Hey,

I know there are four saurial species: hornheads, bladeblacks, flyers, and finheads. But I found this based on a T-Rex, and I think he could represent a fifth saurial species.

Yes it's from a furry site, don't worry he's armored, and yes I'm seriously thinking on bidding for it. But it's the best anthropormorphic rendering of a T-Rex type theropod I've seen. I'm thinking of adopting him and then work up some stats for him and his species of saurial.

There are other dinosaur breeds that would be much more distinctive, if rendered into humanoid form.



Yes, I see your point. When I first saw the adopt for sale, I thought it was not a dinosaur until I had a better look at it. So it's a valid point.

I dunno, whilst I don't dislike that dino-dude, I have to ask what separates it from 4E/5E dragonborn, or lizard men.



Well, to answer your question. This breed of dinosaurs do identify as reptilians, however what separates them from Dragonborn and Lizard folk is:
* They don't claim descent from lizards, they are warmblooded (like Dragons and Dragonborn).
* They have three toes, similar to a bird's toe design. Although artists have taken liberties in depicting dragonborn, the original Dragonborn reference had them with five toes.
* They have scaly skin. This came from fossilized examples.
* They are certainly more intelligent than lizard folk, after all.

I’ve always thought there’s got to be more out there.

Link isn’t working for me btw. Might be me.
