Favourite Creature?
What was your favourite creature on WWM?
shareDimetrodon. What an awesome creature; it's the Palaeozoic's T.rex. I also loved the giant arthropods.

Yeah the Dimetrodon was pretty cool, but personnally I thought the giant arthropods were better. Anyway these are my favourite creatures in WWM:
Arthropleura (the giant centipede)
Mesothelae (the giant spider)
Hyneria (the giant killer fish)
Dimetrodon
Anomalocaris
Those are my top 5, but I thought the others were almost as great.
I also liked the Diiactodon-they looked like little dinosaur versions on prarie dogs.
shareI just loved all creatures - just saw the German version. All of them were good. But does anyone know the name of those animals who attacked the Lystrosaurus when it was night? They actually gave me the feel of raptors from JP.
shareEriciolacerta according to the Wikipedia. They looked a lot like the cynodonts from Walking With Dinosaurs, I suspect they used the same CG model but altered it a bit.

They said in the movie they were therocephalians but I don't know what they were specifically.
shareEriciolacerta could not have been the creatures that attacked the Lystrosaurs-Ericiolacerta was only 20 centimeters/8 inches long. The creatures in WWM where probably about the same length as the Lystrosaurs (1 meter/3 feet).
shareThey might still be Ericiolacerta; the crew also made Diplodocus much too long in WWD (36+ m instead of 27 m).

You have a good point but, in WWD Diplocus was only 9 meters too long but Ericiolacerta has too be at least triple it's length to fit the creatures in WWM. I don't think that WWM would exagerate a creature's size that much.
shareI though that they were Cynognathus or something like that. The animals of the shows don't have to be a particular species. For example, the chalicothere of WWB is just named "chalicothere" although it is based on Moropus.

I don't think that WWM would exagerate a creature's size that much.Well, they made Liopleurodon 25 m long when it was only 10 m, tops. But I recall the predators being significantly smaller than the Lystrosaurus (about as big as wolves next to a moose). Still too big for Ericiolacerta, but.....
I though that they were Cynognathus or something like that.Could be; they looked like the cynodonts from Walking With Dinosaurs, and Cynognathus was a cynodont. I thought it was bigger though; I read it could be up to 2 m long.
The animals of the shows don't have to be a particular species. For example, the chalicothere of WWB is just named "chalicothere" although it is based on Moropus.Actually, Moropus lived in North America during the Pleistocene, not in Asia during the Oligocene. I believe WWB's chalicothere was simply a Chalicotherium. Then again, these series have shown Utahraptor in Europe......

I would have to say either Anomalocaris or the Gorgonopsids
