I've got a new topic up for grabs. The evolution of pseudowyverns (tigrex, barioth, nargacuga).

Obviously, the ancestor of these wyverns should be thought to look similar to the tigrex since it hasn't changed it's appearance for what the Guild says has been a very long time (my estimate, about 10 million years, not joking that's a reasonable guess if you think about it). Also, pseudowyverns probably broke off from the average flying wyverns very early in the evolution line (though not as early as the khezu and gigginox ancestors, for abvious reasons). Pseudowyverns also probably evolved into the jinouga, as the resemplances are obvious {psuedowyvern forelimbs are more well developed for ground than average wyverns, so it makes sense that a species would completely forgo wings in favor of extremely powerful forelimbs [the fact that jinouga looks like a certain pelagus (can't remember the name) does not particularly mean that they are related]}.

A specific chain of tigrex ancestors may have begun favoring the cold climates to a split life in the desert and mountains, while another set decided to stay in a warmer, albeit more humid climate. Due to these changes in environment the ancestors of nargacuga and barioth began developing quicker movements and higher agility over the brute power of the modern tigrex (which we all know is a pain in the ***).

One aspect of the barioth's evolution that I'm still having some trouble finding a likely theory for is how the desert barioth may have come to be.

(P.S.: Due to the fact that I've forgotten my password and that the new password e-mails don't get to my e-mail account for some reason or other I'll have to put my username in the corner of my posts so you guys know who's posting (please no posers, that would suck both for me cause you might mess up my soon to be good reputation and for you cause ... well I'd just try and make life miserable for you, requiring I find out your username, but hopefully it won't come to that since I'm sure the majority of bloggers and posters here are good people) :)
