When I first found out about Nyctosaurus, I assumed we would've been huge. Near pteranodon huge. Look at the size of our crests!

But no.

We are very small for late cretaceous pterosaurs

You know those reconstructed dinosaur sounds? The ones that used a loon call for spinosaurus..

I love them regardless of the inaccuracies. I specifically love the sounds of large herbivores. The deinocherius one makes me feel an instinct to call back, but I can't. It's so homely to me. I also love the therinzinosaurus one. It sounds almost like something I heard coming from the sea as a nyctosaurus whilst fishing underwater.

Ough. I really can't describe how close that one hits to home. It's like I need to reply.

This one, as mentioned, sounds like something i heard whilst fishing one day.

Yes, I get these might not be fully scientifically accurate. Yes, I also get that my memories might be wrong (it has been 84 million years, to be fair). These are simply what sounds similar to stuff I heard at some point through my lives.

Nyctosaurus Gracilis

I'm a pterosaur therian, no doubt about that. I've cycled through basically every species I can think of trying to find my species, most recently Quetzalcoatlus and Alamodactylus. Although, I have been thinking recently.

Back in dec 2023 - may 2024, I knew a nyctosaurus therian. The species always stuck out to me, but I didn't want to say anything about questioning it because I had this idea it couldn't ever be my species - no other species ever fit, so why would this one?

Then we stopped talking and so on. In February of this year, when i started getting back into the alterhumanity community, I started searching for my pterosaur theriotype. I was and still am determined to find it. Is it any surprise for a short while I landed on nyctosaurus? I did end up switching up again and deciding 'no, that's not my species'.. Well.

Surprise, surprise, I now think im a nyctosaurus again. Every time I've been posting about possibly finding my pterosaur theriotype, the species has never felt right. Nyctosaurus was always, and im not kidding when i say always, just lurking in my mind whilst writing the posts. Every time I think of nyctosaurus, I genuinely get this pit in my stomach. It's almost like that feeling when you are so excited for something or nostalgia.

Despite all this, I am considering the possibility of being 2 species: nyctosaurus and some mystery species (maybe alamodactylus). I have always been a male animal, always. From my very first life until now. Nyctosaurus had this crest that was extremely large for their body size (55cm), and most of the time, I see myself having such a crest. Sometimes, I see myself without a crest and living a completely different lifestyle to nyctosaurus. I do think I was 2 species of pterosaur
