Dinosaur Bird! I want one!
Well, Pteradon actually. An article in Azhdarchid Paleobiology suggests that this group of pteradons wasn't actually a shoreline predator as commonly assumed. By studying wing, neck, foot and beak structure and comparig them to modern birds, they came to the conclusion that Azhdarchid actually stalked inland plains, using it's wings as forelegs, and preying upon small dinosaurs.

So why the game tag? I've been considering a flying race for "Under the Green Moon, annd this is a great model for what a realistic large flyer might look like. I mean, it won't look exactly like that, but it definitely gives me ideas.
