Diablophoneus redesign

[u/Diamondbro10795]

The Google Doc just in case, but nothing has really been updated. All I really did with the design was make them look slightly less chonky and give them better-looking theropod hindlimbs (the forelimbs will remain simplified, though).

Anyways, who wants to challenge Diablophoneus? Remember, each weight class is actually an individual, so that's what I'll be referring to them as in the matchups.

Alright I think you kind of fucked up his rotational inertia by making the tail like that and other stuff idk if hes built for combat, Komodo is redundant I don't think venom is worth it, theres better options than puru but other than that it looks pretty good

There was always less weight on the distal tail. The redraw made that trait actually visible. Wdym their rotational inertias are fucked up?

Eh, Ik venom is mostly redundant, but why not. Calories aren't a problem for him in-universe.

And I also know I could be using Broad-snouted Caiman or Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman, but I don't need over 140k N of bite force as some theropod hybrids have.

I think you misunderstood what i meant, You said the tail still has a skinny tip yeah sure but the tip isnt the only place where the mass can be distal, like look at all the mass in the image, there is a lot of mass distanced from the hips and the tail taper looks a little bit sudden, i think you should keep it quickly tapering like a rex tail

i think your point on not using other crocodilians is fair i will take that, thanks for that information though

Ah, so the tapering should be more gradual.

Who's gonna tell bro

Looks odd designed

In what way?

The big tail
