This was my inspiration for this Therizinosaur; I chose to add this feature to the first two claws, and I also imagine that it might be useful for other purposes.

I didn't include this feature (pectinate claw) on the last claw of therizinosaur because in modern birds this feature is never present on all claws. From what I've seen, they have it on the middle finger, although here I decided to add it to at least two claws.

With claws this size, I thought it would be interesting to speculate about this in therizinosaur, perhaps because it could be one of the functions of the enormous claws.

Some birds have claws adapted and modified to "comb" their feathers (pectinate claw), this helps them get rid of ectoparasites.
Here I decided to use my creativity and imagine a therizinosaur with something similar in the claws of its hands

Os lábios ajudam a manter a qualidade dos dentes, mantendo eles hidratados. Os crocodilianos vivem na água que ajuda a hidratar os dentes, mas os dentes dos crocodilianos não são perfeitamente saudáveis e quando comparado aos dentes de tiranossauro são mais desgastados. +

Today I paid attention to this study that I already knew about (by Maschenko et al., 2021). It's a really cool paper discussing this adaptation to the cold that Mammuthus primigenius has. It's a skin "hood" that covers the end of the trunk, and both males and females have it. 🦣
