Slurpasaur: Difference between revisions

But, all hope is not lost. No.... you can just take an ordinary lizard, alligator or other non-extinct reptile (or, very rarely, other smallish animal), stick it in a costume or glue on a few cardboard fins and horns, film it from a low angle on a miniature set, and... '''ta-da!''' Instant dinosaur!

Of course, having an [[Adventurer Archaeologist|Adventurer Palaeontologist]] pointing to an iguana with horns glued to its head and calling it a "''Brontosaurus''" [[Special Effects Failure|is just as convincing as it sounds]], not to mention a [[Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying|complete and utter mockery of palaeontology]]. After all, if a five-year-old kid can tell the difference between a ''[[Tyrannosaurus Rex]]'' and an iguana, it's highly unlikely ''anyone'' is going to be convinced that your monitor lizard with cardboard- taped- to- his-back monitor lizardback is supposed to be a dinosaur. Especially if they have any understanding of the [[Square-Cube Law]].
