Propaganda for Andrian the Nothosaur [A Sea Serpent: The Story of a Nothosaur]:

"A Sea Serpent: the story of a Nothosaur book by Beverley & Jenny Halstead (1984) In the book, we follow Andrian from his birth to his eventual death (and probably, fossilisation!). Along the way, Andrian escapes from predators from both land and sea, gets in a fight (which he loses) with an Icthyosaur, hunts for food alongside other Triassic creatures such as Tanystropheus, and has a clutch of (cute) baby Nothosaurs! This is probably the earliest book I can remember, and I still have my copy many years later! I've attached some pictures because there is barely any info out there on the internet, feel free to pick the one you think is best!"

Propaganda for Snappers [The Meg]:

"Roughly human sized pack hunters that live in the extreme pressures of deep sea trenches, they are descended from similar creatures that lived in the Cretaceous period. Following hijinks between the films protagonists and antagonists, they break through the deep sea thermocline and emerge on the surface… to hunt! (their diet mostly appears to be evil mercenaries) In the 1999 book the film was based on they originally meant to be Kronosaurus that had somehow evolved gills (yeah, the books get pretty wild). Look, apparently in cannon they are a species of Ichthyostega (which is an amphibian, thus would not qualify for this tournament) but look at them! They have scales! Yes they can breathe underwater, but they also live in deep sea trenches and can still wander about on land (not to mention no issues of explosive decompression when they get out of the deep sea) so as far as suspension of disbelief goes, we've already left that far behind!"

Propaganda for Big Hungry [Flesh!]:

"Big Hungry is a giant Nothosaurus, who went on a bloody quest for revenge after a time-travelling criminal slaughtered his young. As this is a 2000AD comic, there is a lot of blood, and although Big Hungry is nominally the antagonist of the story our sympathies tend to lie with him rather than the members of the time travelling corporation that landed in the Triassic to exploit the sealife! Along the way he fights an equally giant Tanystropheus, destroys a submarine (!) and leads a pack of Nothosaurs to destroy corporation base and eventually, extract his bloody revenge!"

Propaganda for Attenborosaurus [Jurassic Park/World]:

"Named in honor of Sir David Attenborough, world-renowned naturalist known to most for his work voicing wildlife documentaries. Interestingly, as this one is from Jurassic World Evolution 2, it may have been included in the game as an allusion to his late brother, Richard Attenborough, who played John Hammond in the movies."
