Looks like we’re making a big bird this month! Are these guys dinosaurs or not technically?

Are there any features you would like to see for them? Are we feeling a smaller one that we can make multiple of or a single more detailed one?

Anything I should know about them as a species?

Any input is appreciated!

I'd like a single detailed one! Maybe hug sized

Mel Liz

Big boi!!!

SunlitGrove

I would very much like a larger more detailed pattern! I would love to see some pterosaur fuzz represented!

Quetzacoatl is a deity 💖✨️ So can be everything 🤭

Tania Richter

Single big lad! Maybe something you can wrap around your neck?

Quetzalcoatl is a feathered serpent god. Quetzalcoatlus is a winged pteranodon-type dinosaur of massive size, named after the god. Which are you making?

Salami

Big one!! The tiny fiddly plushies are frustrating

KingAki

Quetzalcoatlus is not a dinosaur! It's a pterosaur, aka a flying reptile!!

Leena Cruz

Ohhh that one! Omg looks impressive

Mythi2964

yooo Dang when I get my next paycheck I'll sub again I loveeee the Quetzalcoatlus

ChyPandaBear

Big!! Gotta show off that wingspan :}

Quetzalcoatlus was what was in the poll. I just mistyped it in the title when posting this

Oh good. So everyone will get what they want then 😊 Can't wait to see what you do with this 😁

Ripley

because they the biggest animal to ever live, maybe a good idea for a body pillow type with giant wings that can wrap around you

Willow

I second this ^_^/

Willow

Well it lived with dinos so not far off 😁 it ate mainly fish but, probably tiny dinos/hatchings if it got the chance 😅

Pterosaurs are one of my special interests so seconding everyone in it being HUGE in plush form! I personally want to see realistic wings even if stylised where their bone structure is properly shown. A lot of people when depicting pterosaurs give them fleshy bird wings or bat wings but they have neither of those but rather fly on a singular finger and have long metacarpal bones. In Quetzalcoatlus, this is even more pronounced, giving it its signature upright stature. So very excited for this pattern

Pterosaurs are a different branch of reptiles to dinosaurs, it's a cool bit of convergent evolution that both avian dinos and pterosaurs evolved flight! Like bats, most of the mobility of quetzalcoatlus was in it's arms/wings, with the legs having less musculature. Because of their proportionally large heads, a standing plush would probably need a counterweight in the torso/lower body. I'd love it if the head was detailed, maybe even having a partially open mouth? Either a structured, standing plush, or a 'flying' style, flatter plush would be fun, I think.

Larger. Small might be to fiddly with the wings.

Sandy Pierce

I thought you meant Quetzalcoatl, I was all excited for a feathered and winged snake. LOL!!

Amy

Me too

TokenBehaviorist

An elaborate crest. A head that looks too big for the body. It can 'walk' on its wee widdle feet and finger claws on wings. You can go wacky on colors. So excited!!!

Imogen

They are quite large, so a large one would fit. I do worry it's gonna have some very thin parts, so maybe a less accurate chibi version would be really cool as well. I would say, if you do a standing one instead of a flying one (wings spread) please if you can look at more modern reconstructions. A lot of popular paleoart (basically how people think dino's etc could look) of Quetz are somewhat outdated in how we currently think Quetz stands/its posture is. I also 100% think a lot of people thought it was the mythical snake rather than prehistoric creature

Terry Baryonyx

YES! I think they are classified as flying lizards actually.

I'm a few days late but I gotta share some pterosaur facts! :D They're flying reptiles (but not birds, and not dinosaurs). Their wing anatomy is different from other flying animals, and it's super cool! Their fourth finger is the main "wing finger." This is in contrast with bats, whose wings are made from all their fingers, and birds, whose wings are made of one (fused) finger. So pterosaurs have three lil fingers off the front edge of their wing, which they can walk on. Their wings have a weird "extra" bend in them because their metacarpals (interior hand bones) are pretty long. Pterosaurs also had a plantigrade quadrupedal stance on the ground (like a bear - their whole back feet touch the ground, not just their toes). AND - probably my fav part - their heads were HUUUUUGE in comparison to their bodies. They look super disproportionate, and it's really funny. I've seen some folks who study them call them "giant flying murder heads" lmao
