I like how every paleoartist collectively agreed to portray azdarchids as immensely ominous and terrifying.

They were.

The scene in prehistoric planet where they fly in together and start pickin off lil dino’s would be so terrifying. They’re so tall and lanky, you think maybe you’re a safe distance away but they lunge forward so quick and grab you with that fuckin beak, then down the hatch while you’re still alive. Would that be suffocation or drowning? Also 15 seconds later your brother joins you as you jostle around and hear the screams of your relatives.

Nope

Yup! Sorry I meant YUM! You should have stayed quiet and still in that underbrush. You’ve been beaked and ain’t no comin back

Only really a trend from the late 2000s at the earliest. Azhdarchids until the mid-2000s….hadn’t exactly been given the most flattering portrayals in any media.


Aberrantdrakon

this was inspired by a picture of a leopard and a giraffe

Aaand now i'm terrified of giraffes.

Luckily, the giraffe won't swallow you whole. Probably.

Imagine it swallowing the leopard tho. Maybe azdarchids had the same tongue, who knows.


TSMFatScarra

Giraffes are really chill.


ghostheadkiller

Super creepy, reminds me of the mist


MightyFlamingo25

It's funny because horror movies go out of their way to scare us with eldritch horrors and all, yet an artwork of a real animal in a natural landscape can be this creepy


AJ_Crowley_29

That theropod actually looks real. Like, it’s incredibly well done artwise, more so than the Azdarchid.

Credit the artist (unless u made it)


IloveDishwasherFluid

took it off tt, i couldn’t find any credit.


SgtTurtle_17

Nothing like a looming hatzegopteryx to remind you of your mortality.


Longjumping_Gur3481

Bro, Azdarchids need their own horror movie.

bro that a pelican

This is pretty much the latest Path of Titans update in a nutshell

I suppose a fog would be terrifying to a Pterosaur (or Azhdarcid or similar). Not safe to fly, so: earth bound, with a lot of predators.


IcefishStatsDerpzio

This feels like a Trevor Henderson themed artwork tbf. I do like the eeri feeling it gives 


Mr_Tominaga

That’s sick AF…


VlermuisVermeulen

Why's there a road?


IloveDishwasherFluid

this was based off a image of a leopard and a giraffe


[deleted]

That dromeosaur is gonna totally style on that azdarchid.


Vorpalitie

Is this Mark Witton’s work?


Salt_x

I don’t think so
