I always imagined guars more dinosaur like than anything, so I wanted to make some headcanons! I mean, they're cute the way they're depicted in canon, but I never understood the appeal of the sloped back and the frog head, my dino nerd brain just HAS to theropod-ify them. Don't fight me on this bc idc

Pack guars, inspired by Allosaurus, are bred to have less defensive features (like the head crest and hock spurs). They're common and cheap, and look very plain as they're used for work and nothing else really.

Wild guars, inspired by Carnotaurus, are fit for running and defending themselves, they have countershading and striping (depicted is perhaps a male which uses it's red stripes for courting) they have long hock spurs which grow to curl upwards as the creature ages. Their long legs are incredibly strong and one kick can definitely knock you out! Although they're mainly herbivorous, their snout is short and enables them to open their maw wider than usual, allowing for more teeth to puncture you!

Lastly, the Ornate Guar, inspired by Dilophosaurus, is bred by nobility to be used in shows and parades and overall just for an ego boost. Their head crests are large but very ineffective in combat, and their hock spurs are filed down regularly. There are many other ornate type guars bred by different houses, but the Skyfire guar is definitely one of the more stunning ones!

If you want me to draw more dino-guars, feel free to comment with ideas! I kinda wanna draw some of the diff variants in ESO but give them my own twists :D

Walking in the Dinosaur Park Formation

Welcome to The Dinosaur Park Formation, Alberta Canada 75 Million years ago.

[ancientorigins]

Deep within in the rainforests of Venezuela, a series of plateaus arise more than 9000 feet off the ground. From above, they look like islands in the sky. They are so unique in their geography that thousands of plant species exist nowhere else on the planet except on these plateaus. The mystical mountains fascinated explorers and writers for centuries, most notably Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who described an ascent of Mount Roraima in his 1912 novel The Lost World.

It's been days, why haven’t I seen any geeking over the dinosaur talk at the DC panel? I loved that bit!

Christina saying Diplodocus 🦕 over and over again in her accent!

Celia chosing Velociraptor as her favorite! (*making Raptor noises*)

Ethan: THE MEG!!! 🦈 (I love him, but no, Ethan, a Megalodon is not really a dinosaur.)

And Anson having wanted to become a paleontologist as a kid! [Jurassic Park 🦖 feels intensified!] And then he gushed over Ankylosaurus!!! He would have a field day with my SNW x Terra Nova Crossover AU!

You know what is criminally underused in fantasy?

Dinosaurs/prehistoric creatures.

The most I've ever seen are like, Dire Wolves (yes, this is a real, prehistoric animal), probably b/c 'big wolf cool'. But you know what else is cool?

Saber-toothed cats, giant bears, Woolly Mammoth/Mastodon, DINOSAURS.

If you can have giant fire-breathing dragons, and magic and various sentient humanoid species, you can totally just go 'you know what, I want some dinosaurs here too'.

Plus it could make for fun worldbuilding.
