Had intended to work on these a bit earlier this month, but unfortunately life got in the way 🤡. Did a slight repaint of Anzu though and I think I dig the colors a lot more

Day 31. Europasaurus rafflesia
Outside of their titanic size, these sauropods weaponize another strength - their stench. Pods can be detected from miles away from their… unique… aroma.

Day 30. Tyrannosaurus selenicereus
Revered as the “king of fruits”, this Tyrannosaur bears a tough, scaly exterior. Beneath it lies soft, juicy, and seedy flesh that would almost seem delectable enough to venture closer. Almost.

Day 29. Camptosaurus ginkgo
In autumn, these plain looking dinosaurs undergo a marvelous transformation - their leaves turn a brilliant yellow, exposing xanthophyll pigments. This change has earned them the nickname “autumn gold”.

Day 28. Deinosuchus phyllostachys
These crocodilians spend much of their time in riverbed mud awaiting a worthy ambush target. Their hides are smooth and woody, often used in decoration, roofing, and other building material as a result.

Day 27. Albertosaurus beta
These chard varieties are extremely hardy, often surviving long into the colder seasons. Many colorful subspecies exist in the wild - leading to colorful, rainbow-chard hunting packs.

Day 26. Baryonyx phoeniceae
These Spinosaurids thrive in scorchingly humid climates, their leaves providing shade when the temperature gets extreme. Their tough hide is adept at retaining moisture - and doubles as battle armor for territorial disputes.

Day 25. Pentaceratops dionaea
The various functions of ceratopsian crests have been debated - in this species, however, the primary use-case is clear. They charge horns first, and use their frills to clamp the target tightly, delivering a deeper wound.

Day 24. Icthyosaurus orchidaceae
It skims shallow water, with blossoming stems bobbing above the surface. Bright colors put nearby prey at ease - then by instinct, or perhaps at the urging of the plant itself, it lunges forth and devours the unsuspecting.

Day 23. Austroraptor cichorium
With an almost caramel-like sweetness to its aroma, this cultivar’s scales have been long used in beverage making. Once ground and steeped, the flavor is reminiscent of coffee.

Day 22. Jakapil echeveria
Nicknamed ‘parva’ (the Latin for ‘small’), this little dinosaur has a personality that more than compensates. The osteoderms growing along its body have grown spongy and succulent - an apt adaptation for desert living.

Day 20. Lambeosaurus dianthus
This dinosaur takes the idiom, “you are what you eat”, quite literally! Years of eating plain, woody shrubbery has made its body coloration quite dull - but once a year the carnations along its back bloom in full force.

Day 19. Anzu spiraea
Its tail-plumes are highly sought after due to their unique, tightly-coiled flower arrangement. Catching one, however, can prove quite the challenge.

Day 18. Postosuchus gloriosa
With the appropriate moniker of “fire lillies”, this species of Postosuchus packs a powerful bite. Its jaws contain colchicine venom which has been used to treat some diseases like gout. Overdose though and fatality is certain.

Day 17. Zuul vaccinium
The berries that grow from the shrubs along its back are juicy and succulent. Normally peace-loving, these Ankylosaurs will happily share some of their bounty - but take too many and you might find yourself taking a tail club too.

This pterosaur announces its presence with the rank aroma of rotting flesh wafting from its body. Though if you can smell it, it’s probably too late to escape its reach.
