Gargantosaurus Length: 250 foot Height (At shoulder): 80 foot (At hip): 60 foot Weight: Approx 100 tons Colour: Black with deep red markings. Diet: Carnivorous Noticeable features: Skin tends to be smooth with small patches of bumpy scales around hip and shoulder areas, and is often coated with what appears to be oil (possibly secreted from pores?). The body bares a strong crocodile build, and is adorned with raised scutes down the center-line of the back. Forelimbs are longer than the hind limbs. Unusually, the head is strangely humanoid in appearance to the point in which it is described as being almost "10% human to 90% reptile". The mouth is large and full of long needle-like teeth. The most striking feature of the Gargantosaurus specimen witnessed (See image above) is the horns/crest that run along the head. It is speculated that this individual could be a variant (sub-species?), or maybe even a rare glimpse of a 'pure-blood' which has miraculously survived since the Mesozoic Era* Notes: One look at Gargantosaurus, and it is easy to see how the ancient myths of dragons and sea monsters, and other 'kaiju' style creatures have sprung up across the world. With the now proven existence of living Gargantosaurus specimens, one must wonder just how many other giant creatures, known only through folk-law, are waiting out there to be discovered as real. *Gargantosaurus fossils have been found in deposits dating back 66 million years. That living specimens exist today is amazing given how little such a large animal has evolved. Some of the more 'crackpot' theories that have been circulating of late is that Gargantosaurus (and possibly other prehistoric species) were subject to experimentation by 'otherworldly beings', enabling the 'experimental variants' to survive while the 'pure-bloods' died out.
