Fun fact: not only are dimetrodons not technically dinosaurs, they're not even reptiles! They're actually part of the synapsid branch along with mammals, not the diapsid branch that contains reptiles and birds. So a dimetrodon is actually more closely related to us than it is to dinosaurs.
Ankylodons are great! As their name implies they're based on Ankylosaurs which are my favorite dinosaur! Here's a fun fact for you: One of the most well preserved fossils ever discovered was in the ankylosaur family. Borealopelta was so well preserved that scientists were able to study its stomach contents and find out exactly what it ate. Look it up!
Kinda crazy we didn't have this already, WoW Dinos were so cool to me growing up lol I wanted a dino mount so badly, ended up getting a raptor at some point luckily
I loved Jani. He was involved in permanently getting the Trashmaster title as well, which if I'm on dps during raid night I'll flip my monk's title to Trashmaster for the night.
Pointless fact: dimetrodons are not dinosaurs, but are related closer to mammals than reptiles. The fins on their backs help regulate their body temperature, akin to acting like the first warm blooded animals. They heat up their blood by swinging the sails on their backs. It’s pretty cool.
Was expecting King Mosh as he's probably pretty memorable for a lot of people. It was always fun to go around hunting devilsaurs in vanilla/classic, see one and quickly pull it only to realize (too late) that it's King Mosh and he absolutely stomps you.
Great work once again - twas a little sad that no Direhorn made the list, and very surprised that nothing from the "Isle of Giants" was mentioned - or the whole Isle being an honorable mention. But, I know there are always more options than places in top 10 lists - maybe there will be a second Dino list in the future. GG.
Subject 9 is a reference to the Ed Wood movie "Plan 9 from outer space". It was deemed to be the worst movie of all time, at least until attack of the killer tomatoes came out. Thats why one of the quests related is called Nines Plan.
There's something that's always concerned me about this series. The "pointless statue" is used as the payoff of a quest chain in Stranglethorn, where a troll spirit rewards you for your assistance in protecting the vale
I don't know why i thought this about a third of the way in, but i can't wait for top ten paving stones or something like that. Especially since i love my dinos, always tamed as many as i could when i played.
Fun fact, Subject Nine crash landed into Hearthstone!! She became a rare Hearthstone card xD (I have been doing my own videos just concentrating on the "pointless" NPC's all over Azeroth and Subject 9 got her own video😅)
Oondasta didn't make it, darn. i still remember the world server almost dying due to all the players needed to kill it, and having to run back thru the sea of skeletons only to die almost instantly
Fun fact, even though the name Dinosaur means terrible lizard, Dinosaurs are not lizards. "Lizard" refers to the order Squamata, whereas Dinosaurs are in the clade Archosauria, separate to Squamata, of which the only living members are Dinosaurs and Crocodilians
You honestly I think WoW succeeds most when it’s not taking itself too seriously. So more fun stuff like the raptor rocket would make the game more fun
Love for the original pterrordax? Hell yeah. They may just be reusing the original bat model animations, but they are the best "bats" in the game. I wish they'd get a FAITHFUL update (aka not like the hyenas or wind serpents) to their model though, their polygons are showing after all these years. Ankylodons are the best thing to come from BfA, at least in hunter pet terms. They're based on real ankylosaurs, but they have a stubby tail instead of a vicious club. Them having bear animations makes them even more endearing. I hope we get a dinosaur planet world with Subject 9 as the leader. I would settle for a delve or instance; just give us a world with dinosaurs that evolved differently than they did on Azeroth and Outland.
10 IF I remeber right that were just made for fun by the developers and was in the datas what data miners fopund. That was the Reason that Combination got that famouse. lol 5. They were the main Reason I love Zandalari Druids. :D Yes you can be one instead of a bear. :D 1. I hope we will see her on Elune or the Blue Child. :D
Man I can't belive you missed 3 dinosaurs that I can remeber that actually are named like one stated G I am sorry bad with he was a giant like tank with rockets he was a world boss in Panada land and another one in panda land was On'dansta something on isle of giants and the 3rd was in un'goro crater he was a devilsaur and he was king something I think named dinosaurs should be kinda up there in my opinion
