So I'm currently running a DnD campaign which has some time travel shenanigans. In context, my players will be travelling to a prehistoric time and will encounter Hadrosaurs.

With it being DnD, I am taking some creative liberty. The point is, I am using the Hadrosaurs as almost an early warning system for a major event in which they get spooked and stampede. The design i have is based off a mid-sized Hadrosaur, but I'm wanting to add inflatable nose sacks as they have no Crest (the oddity is a part of the design)

I vividly remember seeing a Hadrosaur with these, but I cannot for the life of me find it nor remember if it was a documentary or sci-fi show. Hence why I'm here, praying someone knows what I'm on about

I’ve seen a bunch of lines in various articles mentioning that Tarbosaurus has a stiff, locking mechanism-type structure in its lower jaw, and that that locking mechanism helped it hunt large prey like sauropods, but I’m not grasping how it helps them hunt sauropods, can someone ELI5?

I’m just curious as to how you do it, is it by families, groups or some alternative? I’m very curious and would like to know…

okay,

I don't care about your accurate Dinosaurs in media designed for entertainment. Perhaps I need to back up a bit: I dive into a lot of Dinosaur media from films, to books, to games and there is always one group of particularly vocal individuals consuming that media that feels the need to complain that the Dinosaur designs aren't "Scientifically accurate" and it annoys the living daylights out of me! If a piece of media is designed to be entertaining and not educational then, why does it matter if the designs of the Dinosaurs are accurate or not? Furthermore, I believe that using the same old boring accurate models gets stale.

One of my favorite bits of Dinosaur history is the idea that Tyrannosaurus Rex had feathers and thus, I tend to appreciate any media that depicts them as such. It isn't accurate as we now know but, its still an interesting way to design an apex carnivore and that's what should be the most important thing.

Just needed to put this opinion out there because, as I said, I see a whole lot of people complaining about lack of accurate Dinosaur designs and not enough people standing up for speculation and creativity. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

As the title says

This was my favorite thing to visit. I would want to stay in there for hours and play with my JP3 T Rex toy

Just an absolute unit of a dinosaur

I'm honestly surprised this hypothetical didn't come to me sooner. Obviously, we know now that T-Rex had some of the best vision of any creature to exist, and that this scene in Jurassic Park likely wouldn't have gone down that well unless Roberta decided to have a little sick fun and make our friends think she couldn't see them.

But what if it actually couldn't see things that stopped moving in real life? How might that have affected the animal's hunting ability, as well as the lives of the species it preyed upon?
