>Dinosaurs versus Dragons
How do we make this concept a thing?
Dinosaurs versus Dragons
Leo Flores
Camden Walker
Decadent Dragon civilization where draconic gladiators fight dinosaurs in colossal arenas, like human gladiators would fight lions?
Dragon overlords help the smaller, weaker races that they've taken under their wing to settle new lands by eliminating the biggest and most dangerous threats in those lands, such as dinosaurs?
Dragon riders versus dino riders for any reason one group of humanoids capable of taming scaled beasties would fight another?
Literally Pokemon?
Gabriel Kelly
Do what shadow run did.
In Shadow Run Dragons are just the "humans" of the dinosaur times.
Angel Peterson
Aren't they technically the same thing, just dragons being intelligent and powered by magic? It's like a "Normal middle ages humans" vs "Fantasy middle ages humans."
Asher Morales
I suppose if you want to conflate the two.
Frankly, I've always liked the idea of Dinosaurs as the primordial ancient race sort of the way like the Aboliths are.
God T-Rex versus God Dragons.

>how do we
By doing it
Ayden Richardson
Chunky ass Retrosaurus looking dinosaurs, you know what I mean, back when they though dinosaurs were all colossal lumbering behemoths that had to stay half-submerged in water to keep alive and shit.
Then, wretched, serpentine, coiling devil dragons from medieval art, arms and legs and wings and eyes all over the place, but make them a little bigger.
I feel like your average D&D dragon shits all over your regular T-Rex via flight and size and breath weapons, so we need to level the playing field. Make both are detestable and monstrous as possible.
Zachary Taylor
Isnt this basically covered in Monster Hunter?
Colton Miller
Most dnd dragons are about the same size or smaller than a T-Rex. The only bigger ones I know of are the snowflake ancient dragons
I'd say a fight between an average T-Rex and an average dragon would be a tossup depending on location
Isaiah Lopez
I'd imagine something like a T.rex would outweigh and outmuscle a dragon built for flight. In a one on one confrontation if the Rex gets a bite in it would probably fuck up the dragon, but realistically because flight and fire breathe I wouldn't have too much hope for it.
Jordan Stewart
Fossils aren't everything. There's no evidence that fire-breathing dinosaurs existed, but that doesn't mean that fire-breathing dinosaurs didn't exist.
Chase Anderson
Dragons fly and breath fire.
Until T-Rexes can get the aerial superiority somehow, they don't stand a chance.
Brandon Moore
And yet in almost every setting they can be killed by a dingus with a metal stick.
Parker Scott
Bone density and weight ratio matter. Fire doesn't travel well through the air without significant propellant force. If a dragon gets within T-Rex attack range they're in trouble.
Gavin Murphy
Because more often than not the dingus either secures air superiority with siege weapons and magic or fights the dragon in a favorable area.
Blake Mitchell
So what would happen if the area favored the T-Rex?
Benjamin Foster
Dinner.
Aaron Bailey
I remember it happening once in Teen Titans
Essentially you have two big lizards grappling each other, or else it will be a one sided fight
Chase Campbell
This
The mentality of the thread is basically "who would win: a historical ninja or sage mode naruto"
Michael Parker
Discovery channel did it.
Lucas Gray

Ayden Watson
But what if the dragons are dinosaurs
Ian Butler
I've always preferred wingless dragons/dinosaurs that breathe fire.
Aiden Ross
psst
instead of picking sides post pics of draconic/fantasy dinosaurs
Carson Martin
more like decadent dragon civilization with an oppressed underclass of dinosaurs
Are you a bad enough dinodude to overthrow the draconic tyrants?
Jonathan Gutierrez
You mean, like, kaiju?
I guess I could do that
Jose Ramirez
...
Jace Watson
Or monster hunter style dinosaurs where they have special powers/size to equal dragons.
Aaron Price
considering the "dinosaurs" are descended of dragons in that should the distinction even be applied?
Asher Rivera
For my money this is the best stuff anyone ever wrote about dinosaurs in D&D:

To work with OP's precept all you have to do is put the dragons *at the other end of time*.
Luis Turner
Interestingly, in Monster Hunter the monsters similar to dinosaurs are just another type of wyvern according to the in game classification system. There's brute wyverns for big t-rex types and bird wyverns for smaller raptor types.
Daniel Cook
No dragon could ever hope to overcome the Angry Pickle.
Ryder Walker
It sounds like a pretty awesome idea to me to elevate dinosaurs, making them sentient and shit. Talking dinosaurs. They don't need to breathe fire or cast spells but can instead just be remarkable strong and resilient.
