I love the raptors! They are some of my favorite dinosaurs, but a lot of people see them like we see them in the Jurassic Park movies. The series Dinosaur Planet gives a better picture being depicted with feathers and smaller than a man. Also, fun fact: Dromaeosaurs and many other kinds of theropods are sensitive to infrasound (sounds too low for humans to hear). They have large sinus cavities and large spaces in their middle ears that allow them to pick up low frequencies, even through their feet!
Am I the only one thinking that Keenan should do a full length episode talking about Kaimere life full Attenborough style like how he talks about the lions and cicatrices in the beginning?
@@TalesofKaimere I like the idea of the Running Vulture/Hyena coalition. I imagine them living together in big packs and even watching each others young. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Oh it’s wild. Definitely going to be more of the Infernogallus they are the dominant mesopredators to the East. Common cockatrice and running culture are both present over there.
These are the most realistic illustrations I ever seen as dromeosaurides could really appear. Some books (also recent) keep to depict them with lizard - like naked skin. You are really an awesome paleoartist!
Thank you! I wanted a bit of a range (some nasty some more like hawks like you see more common lately) but I wanted them clearly to be bird-like and to be plausible for descendants of real dromies.
Oh my god the white cockatrice is my new favorite raptor. A predator of that size that can GLIDE?!?!!! Absolutely terrifying and I’m frankly offended that you haven’t made a whole video dedicated to it lol
Interesting to see the alliance between hyenas and raptors, never expected something like that to happen, but I am impress. This dinosaurs truly honor their ancestral kin
Any predator smaller than a T. rex upon seeing the scavenger king jump on top of their kill and scream. “I just did something involuntary..,.and messy.”
I have to go to work but I can’t wait to watch this! This is another one I’ve been looking forward to for a long time as Dromaeosaurus are some of my favorite dinosaurs and I’ve longed to see them portrayed accurately in media! Of course I expect some creative liberties but I’m sure they will be grounded and awesome as usual.
Oh I definitely took some liberties lol but I think I cover all the major changes pretty thoroughly. Not accurate to our current understanding but hey they’ve had 65+ million years to evolve since our fossil examples. Hope you enjoy!
@@TalesofKaimere Oh I’m sure I will! 65+ million years is quite a long time. Some of the major animal groups today evolved in much less time so yeah Dromaeosaurus will definitely be different from the fossil record counterparts. That’s what I love about this project and speculative evolution in general. It’s so fun!!! I love creative writing too and I can’t wait to get my hands on one of your books!
Combining the complexities of intercontinental and interplanetary exchange they finally said ‘uh feathers equal bird’. Parksosaurs are birds and abelisaurids are crocodiles idk man nothing makes sense
@@TalesofKaimere Bah, Kaimerans sciences level is not again the same as our science level on earth. Let them some more decades or centuries to be more precise in their view of the World.
Yeah, it was the same for me. Albeit I'm still having problem with which animals to have in the project and develop. Maybe I should make a document with all the vague ideas of creatures and where do they live.
@@Nigel_BC It's a fantasy world rooted in scifi stuff, or that was the original idea, it has changed a lot during the years. It's an abandoned megastructure that used to be a refueling station for STL interstelar travel that also was a flatworld or a luddite colony, not sure of the latter. In any case, millions of years have passed. Albeit, since Kaimere exist and I felt after finding it that it was too similar (originally, it was a terraformed, dead planet with nanomachines funtioning as magic and introduced reconstructions of prehistoric fauna), I have been developing more on the side of natural synthetic organisms and the blurring of artificial and natural stuff. Plus, I have put the limit of mostly using humans or domestic animals, albeit I have bats and "compsoghnathids" as big clades because I really wanted a basal coelurosaur and pterosaur-like, bird-like and wyvern-like mammals. Albeit, I have a justification of why compies ended up being commonplace (as well as a very isolated place for the prehistoric fauna). It's a private project for now and I don't now if I will show it. But if I eventually do it, I would want to get better at drawing so that I can accompany the worldbuilding with some visuals.
@@Ditidos Wow! That sounds really interesting! I like the idea of an abandoned megastructure rather than an actual planet. Very creative! I have been working on my own spec evo project since I was in 5th grade (I’m 20 now). Keenan has also inspired me to pick that up again as well. I forgot how fun world building can be!
Interesting use of name. Cockatric for dromis, quite clever. I'm having trouble giving the name to something without leathery wings, but it works very well here. The designs do really shout cockatrice, al least for true cockatrices and the pheasant cockatrice which makes it easy as to why lump white cockatrices and hound cockatrices there. The only thing is that white cockatrices seem more physically similar to firebirds rather than other cockatrices at first glance. Where they originally conceived of as firebirds when you first made them? They are very cool and I want to see more of them, btw. But I love fluffy and snowy designs in general. There is a great diversity of dinosaurs similar to hollywood dromis, which is very cool because they also give somewhat diferent vibes, with the indrakai, the true cockatrices, the more classical kaishel dromis and now the snow cockatrice, all of which could be used for very terrifying moments very unique to them. Oh, I forgot to say it, but I loved the intro segment. It was very cool. And it's always a treat to see Shiny Garther and J Stocky art, they have very fun and cool artstyles.
That’s a very good point about the white cockatrice! Between the proportions and gliding I think you’re right that they would be considered firebirds. I absolutely adore their art styles and am elated and honored they contributed these pieces!
"Infernogallus"... It's fun and terrifying in the same time. Because they look truly like normals chicken/roosters but deadly and nightmarish version. And when we know that already birds species like even our regular domestic chicken can be not a gift when we titilate to much this later (roosters can be truly horrific and deadly between them, and when they attact us, it's not with lazyness), we must reconsidered these animals not just simply nuggets to eat, but ferocious animals inside their innocent appearance...
Made my day this has ! Ahhh simply put it was brilliant, all the species listed are amazing, the scavenger Kings interactions with large megaraptorans would surely be worthy of a commission peice, 10/10 my dude ! As always
There are two main types of Cockatrices/Eudromaeosaurs/Dromaeosaurid/Dromies on Kaimere and the Known World : 1 - The Normals bulky generic looking raptors, who are more even exclusive hunters, running and ambush predators. 2 - and the Naked head and neck ones, more scavenger (see exclusive for the lesser/little species) that eat the corpses and prevent with the help of the vultures the apparances of diseases. But they still for most of them good hunters, allowing them to be more generalist and successful !
I like how some of the species form bonds with different animals and are able to cooperate. It's a very interesting detail. Also you are making it really hard to pick a favourite from a clade, but for now I'm going to choose the ok'hos (for the true cockatrices that is) as I like the design very much. The white cockatrice is also very interesting with it being a giant highland glider.
I have to say, Kaimere has been a major inspiration for me, especially with worldbuilding a functional ecosystem and designing speculative yet plausible features for dinosaurs and other animals. I love the Dilophosaur-like crests on cockatrice. Does the two flanges inspired by any modern birds or reptiles? I believe there's a lizard that does a similar thing.
I especially love how you’ve integrated Duane Nash’s hypotheses on dromies, which make so much more sense than RPR on the larger species like utahraptor.
Absolutely! He’s not the only one to introduce me to the grapple and stab idea along with their endurance potential but probably the highest profile! A very sensible method imo.
Loved this video, you have really outdone yourself with your creativity in combining concepts from real life dinosaurs and folcloric creature. I also aplaud the ammount of research and planning you do in thinking about the evolutive and behaivioral adaptations of each creature and it's impact on the greater echosystem.
The Ok'kos, Fosnu and Kenyu design are different from the others videos. But we will say that the previous design are alway canon at 100%, just becoming variation appareance of these same animals, like colors mutation or growth stages for example. In general, I don't thing there really everytime the need to slightly redesign the animals appearances you already made even it's a long time ago, but it's great that can easily match the existence of the old and new design in the same canon line. It's alway that, because you draw so well that you always succeed the first time the design of your creatures !
Thanks! Yeah mostly I redesigned them to make the style consistent since the old ones don’t reflect the current cladistics I have (with the fosnu now being in the same genus as the common and black cockatrices)
@@TalesofKaimere I will alway prefer the old secondary form Ok'kos because he look more chicken/rooster like than the new main form but i admit that this later is awesome looking !
@@TalesofKaimere I never thought that this is the evolution of the Dromies, but it make more than sense... Matter of fact? I was really wondering about the other ones, but I'm Soo looking to hopefully live and see the Oligocene video.. For now...
An others Amazing video ! And here, you present and give a truly deserved tribute to one of the most beloved and fascinating dinosaurs groups that ever lived ! A I appreciate that you made mix and compromised elements stuff in the description, lifestyle and ecology of these creatures. For example, today, on earth, and since the 2010's decade beginning period, the concept of pack hunting in the Dromaeosaurid/Raptors like depicted in Jurassic Park franchise, is very debated. Since there clues who are positives as negatives on this well now famous aspect of this group in our cultural mind. Even today, this famous question make polemics and still debated as ever, if it's was true or if that never happen. But it's pretty obvious that there was pack hunting or sort of and at least also social familial behaviors in some species and the opposite in others species since we know and can clearly see that this clade was beautifully diverse in all, especially in size variation who impact directly with importance the species lifestyle. In any case, this trait behavior is present in Kaimere Dromaeosaurid, either already present since their introduction on the planet from their ancestors or who appears and was developped over time. Again, that is another good example of how far you can put freely almost every things you want in this universe, even elements of our fossil records or comprehension of prehistoric animals who on earth are currently outdated or dubious but who evolved in some ways on Kaimere since the creatures introduced on this later continue to evolve and not just stupidly still like they always are !
Thank you! Some excellent points there. Wanted to show a range of possible lifestyles, not all social like they are often thought to be, and none in the complex packs we now know they almost certainly didn’t form.
@@TalesofKaimere Yes, true, it's especially that who is clever. Because the people against pack hunting Raptors behaviors said that we always before just take the wolves lifestyle and just put this later to dromies, and that can be viable like hypothetical idea since the first are mammals and the others are reptiles/birds. But that not an viable argument too. Since wolves have variable behaviors inside their own specie, some being solitary when they have no pack and others living in pack when the manage to create one. And there also lot of behaviors variations in the sister species of Canis lupus like the Coyote and the Golden Chacal who are wolf specie too in the same genus but very less social and normally solitary. In addition, exact same behaviors traits can evolved and appears in unrelated, completely differents animals clades, orders or lineages. So Pack hunting raptors is and still as a valid viable idea today since Jurassic Park movie released as ever !
I have to say I originally thought that the idea of an ecosystem still dominated by dinosaurs in a world with modern mammals was going to be really over the top & a "no they're super cool & deadly & dinosaurs are the best animals" type of thing (it honestly put me off of looking into Kaimere for a long time) but this is incredibly good! I really like the idea of dinosaurs maintaining their apex niches not just from size but from more advanced behavior & the harvest magic's over the top desire for stability keeping major die offs from really being able to shake things up too much too fast
Thank you! Yeah it's important to me to try and make it feel dynamic, that dinosaurs are still actively evolving and adapting to a constant barrage of very derived and competitive mammals.
I'm reminded of another post talking about speculative raptors on Instagram. The venetosaurus from Peter Jackson's King Kong is not actually a raptor but shares ancestry with some other scaled theropod that evolved convergently with eudromeosaurs. That was also explaining its pronated wrist
@@TalesofKaimere Dishornored is a video game series; Pandyssia was a vast supercontinent in the East (barely explored and full of weird giant creatures).
I think it's awesome that dromaeosaurs are in Kaimere but have become diverse ranging from hunters to giant scavengers that have upright postures and bald heads with crests.
I'm definitely gonna make figurines of alot of your kaimere animals, I'll let them know that these incredible beasts are owned and created by you of course, I just make the figurines.
Hi! I'm loving this worldbuilding project of yours. Are you going to do any video about the Tyrant Dynasty and/or talk more about the dinosauroids of your world?
Eventually yes (talk about the tyrant dynasty quite a bit in the Oligocene harvest episode) but neither are the focal point of episodes on the immediate horizon
I would love to see the absolute shock on someone’s face as they see a raptor descending from the air thinking it first man that’s a really big eagle until it hits them in the chest and turns out to be the size of an adult female lion
Was just a rough estimate, but also hip height is exaggerated by longer legs and combined with the elevated posture looks a lot bigger than they actually are.
This episode may just be my favorite so far. I always wondered about the dromaeosaurs on kaimere, heck I honestly thought the fire birds were the dromaeosaurs you mention in your other videos. I must wonder though what species did the fire birds come from. I’m guessing something akin to baluar since it seems that fire birds may have 2 long dew claws instead of 1. Or I’m just seeing things that are not actually there.
It’s got some Balaur inspiration! First Indrakai was designed as a descendant of them back in gosh I want to say that was 2010/2011? Firebirds are descended from something similar to Archaeopteryx.
Random question : there where Dinosauroïds troodontids species in the Known World but now they are extinct in this region and are alive only in the Eastern Continent. What or who kill them to local extinction in the Known World region and why ?
Partly it was cockatrices. Intelligence of the dinosauroids only helped them so much and being slower breeders with more long term parental investment proved disadvantageous against the sheer numbers of their competition. First children hunted down the last in the known world.
@@TalesofKaimere The First Childrens has considered the Dinosauroïds as potential rivals, treats or simply thought to be sooooo superior to them that the Dinosauroïds don't deserved to lived in the same places as them ?
Speaking of Jurassic Park outdated depictions aspect domain, is it possible that somewhere on Kaimere some population or groups of Raptors but also Oviraptorid became completely featherless and enterely naked skin/scaly to look like very similar to the 80-90's period depictions, under some climate or environnemental pressures like very hot temperature that even the most isolant feathers Can be useful against this ?
Since feathers are great for shading and cooling (thermal studies of tropical and desert birds show this) I doubt it, but diseases could certainly result in naked dromies!
@@TalesofKaimere Okay, fine. But let all agree on this point : it's should be cool to see that Kaimere have animals who naturally look like old depictions representations like the 80-90's prehistoric dinos or Zdenek Burian and Charles R. Knight paleoarts painting, since they could evolved to be similars on Kaimere over time (like a natural JP3 looking Raptor or an Agathaumas looking Ceratopsian, etc...). So yes, it's completely possible to made that, since in addition you already made some creature like a Diracodon Parksosaur or a Godzilla Notosuchian !
Absolutely! I think it’s likely that in the crocodile diversity of the Eastern continent and surrounding islands we will see some scaled raptor-like predators
Thank you!! Firebirds definitely need an episode. Next up is some gliding fauna unique to Kaimere and why gliders do so well in Kaimere (dominance of open forests because of titanosaur foraging) and a sponsored episode on the Oligocene harvest and it’s legacy!
I’m sure everyone who delves into sci-fi and fantasy world building with dinosaurs inevitably has to address the Eudromaeosaurs, though these cockatrices are stand outs! A good mixture of fascinating, horrifying, and disgusting (in the best ways). I’m curious, did the “true” Cockatrices evolve from a shared Kaimeran ancestor with the Pheasant Cockatrice and White Cockatrice? Or did these groups get harvested separately from Earth during the Cretaceous?
Thank you! I really wanted to present them as nasty and powerful. Not dense but not terribly clever either. Probably had a distinct common ancestor. There were a dozen or more possible harvests throughout the mesozoic that could have brought dromies so it makes sense that different lineages would come about.
In a world full of various large predators, how fierce would you say competition is between them? And how do the Kaimerans deal with them? I’ve been building a world that’s just as diverse with species of large predators.
Competition is extremely steep in the known world. Things are a lot more stable on the Eastern continent. People in the known world tend to deal by making walled settlements and traveling at times of the day/year with minimal threats.
That makes sense. In my world, they have walled settlements and have mint growing around the walls. The strong-smelling herb keeps most predators away.
I noticed that the range of the Common Cockatrice includes a small area in the Qajarith peninsula. If they are found there, how are the lions doing so well?
There was a period of culling by the First Children and the lions repopulated first. Got large and social enough to defend, and the Republic is pretty aggressive in culling efforts of cockatrices. At the moment the context favors lions although if the Republic efforts were removed from the equation the dynamic would shift to convention.
I see in one picture a terror bird, how do they hold up in this competitive ecosystem? Also is there just one type sauropod or many more? Great work as always 👍
Thanks! There are two species of terror bird: one in the open forests and one on the prairie. This one in the thumbnail is the prairie species. There are two genera of titanosaurs, one super big one and one that has a bunch of smaller species.
Hm, so wait, what is the status of those “diving raptors” who are mostly known from Kaishel? Are they some other kind of Paravian? Also is it possible firebirds may at least be related to species like Rahonavis (who with Overoraptor, supposedly form a clade that is closer to avialans then either troodontids or dromaeosaurs)?
Firebirds and penguin raptors are a group descended from something like Archaeopteryx and until we know where that’s placed (studying for this video suggested a WIDE range of opinions on their cladistics) I can’t finalize where the firebirds and penguin raptors fall. Just know they’re not eudromaeosaurs
The Penguin Raptors are a sister group/cousins of the FireBirds clade, so they are also Paravian/Avialae too. These two groups evolved to look like again like generic raptors. Exactely like the Balaur Bondoc on Hateg island on earth.
Random Question : Speaking of hyenas, you said one time that there were currently any Cave Hyena (famous subspecie of the current Spotted Hyena in Africa) because they were outcompeted by the Common/Prairie Hyena of the Eastern Continent and the Houze Prairie habitat. But it's seem you change your choice since the last Big Cat video, right ?
Head Naked Dromies have naked head to eat dead carcasses like vultures do. But since there already "Chicken looking Dromies", it's possible that they are true specie of real scavenger phasianid Gallus gallus chicken/Rooster who have naked head and neck to eat dead corpses and carcasses ? Because among our 300 current chicken races, there some who possess already naked head and neck and could be scavenger species if their was specialize in this specific diet !
The naked head does help keep clean but it also helps thermoregulate (portions shaded by feathers and head/ legs exposed to ventilate in the wind) and they can tuck into the ruff in colder parts of their range.
I'm really liking the focus on the smaller predators. Both the cats and the dromaeosaur videos have been great and I can't wait for the inevitable dog one, since they're probably the group we've seen and known the least of. As usual, a few questions: 1. Are there any non dinosaur predators that could fend off a common cockatrice kill steal (counting all of them, not just the ones in their range) 2. Unrelated to the video, but what's the biggest flying thing in Kaimere that isn't an azdarchid?
Hyenas and dogs are much deserving of episodes too. Hoping to feature them in the next few months. 1. Not really. Guchar (200 pound gobiconodont) can hold their own and a thick neck with oversized jaws makes them hard to tackle, but they are slow and kinda clumsy so can be overwhelmed. Entelodonts can defend their kills but they’re mostly restricted to the Eastern continent. 2. Largest non-pterosaur flyer is the black teratorn, a bird with a 15-20 foot wingspan. Planning on a flying therocephalian that will be around 400 pounds with a 30-35 foot wingspan, but still outdone by Kaimere’s largest azhdarchids
@@TalesofKaimere I suppose the earlier ones in a rougher world would have some advantage against dromaeosaurs. One last thing, how do Kaimerans interact with these things? I'd imagine some hunting parties would run afoul of these things after a kill.
@@TalesofKaimere ok we start on how the gryphons started out The gryphons common ancestor is the micro raptor And when an extinction event happened ( the one that killed the carcheradontosaurs tyrannosaurs centrasaurine ceratopsians and large horses ) the micro raptor had an adaptive radiation explosion Making them as large as a big cat ( any ) And with a few a mane But they kept the clades most ancestral feature Gliding Wanna hear the gryphons that are in the biodome? ( via by names and descriptions )
@@TalesofKaimere ok First the most common The yuoti This common gryphon is very shy towards humans and are nocturnal Their faces resemble that of an elf owl Their wings have evolved talon’s and with serrations on their feathers making noiseless beats of the wing And with their ear feathers resemble a bobcats ears And with their feet have evolved a sort of “paw” making them silent on the ground and in flight Their big as a bobcat And long as two grey hounds The Prairie gryphon ( vohoti ) This gryphon is king of the prairie With a lion like mane in the back of the neck and a naked head and neck Their back legs have “paws” ( as well as all the other gryphons ) They are the second best land scavenger ( the best scavenger is a terror bird descendant) They are big as a condor And as long as a lion The jubanzi ( jungle gryphon ) They are the third largest Gryphon With wing large enough to help them glide as if their flying and with talons the size of a grizzly bears claw And with harpy eagle like feathery crown ( along with small feather tuffs that resemble tiger ears ) And with a tiger like pattern on their grey and oak wood Orange fur The only thing they compete with is a hyenadont The mopoquin ( mountain griffin ) this is the most daring of the gryphon family climbing mountains tall as Mount Everest and simply jumping off and gliding with features like brown and whitish grey feathers with spots and being ( basically ) a giant version of microraptor ( but with ear tuffs “paws” and a longer tail ) And the most odd out of the gryphons is the Drovan They are unique group of gryphons because…. They fill in the role of a peaceful ornithamimasaur With a ostrich like build and the speed of a cheetah ( and the features of both the animals even down to the baby camouflaging as a baby dronus ) And being the only flightless gryphon They compete with a clade of omnivorous packycephelasaur and kangaroos And finally the biggest out of the griffins is the…. Dronus These guys are big as a semi large sauropod and having no use of their toe claw but they are a force to be reckoned but with a weight of 10 tons they ( of course) can’t fly but With a long neck and a short carcheradontosaur like face They are the new sauropod butchers ( but they do compete with a clade of dilophosaurus descendants ) You like ?
They will sometimes intimidate them, but often just run away. Harpies are often tiny compared to them, but the first-mothers have a 30-35 foot wingspan and the ok’hos clears out when they arrive.
Ah, the wet dreams of all paleontology fans: seeing Raptors tormenting the lives of carnivorous mammals. and they do it very well, how lucky for us that God had other plans for the Cenozoic.
I love the raptors! They are some of my favorite dinosaurs, but a lot of people see them like we see them in the Jurassic Park movies. The series Dinosaur Planet gives a better picture being depicted with feathers and smaller than a man. Also, fun fact: Dromaeosaurs and many other kinds of theropods are sensitive to infrasound (sounds too low for humans to hear). They have large sinus cavities and large spaces in their middle ears that allow them to pick up low frequencies, even through their feet!

Am I the only one thinking that Keenan should do a full length episode talking about Kaimere life full Attenborough style like how he talks about the lions and cicatrices in the beginning?
Was definitely fun and if folks enjoyed it I may play around more with that format for intros!
That Uktan story is the closest we got to that
There is something melancholic about these symbiotic relationships between animals that never got to coexist in real life.
I can imagine a young scavenger king getting a bit overconfident and learning the hard way why messing with megaraptorans is a terrible idea.
People on earth: birds are dinosaurs.
People on kaimere: dinosaurs are birds
The relationship between these animals are so well done
Thank you!
@@TalesofKaimere I like the idea of the Running Vulture/Hyena coalition. I imagine them living together in big packs and even watching each others young. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

You know it!
Interesting use of name. Cockatric for dromis, quite clever. I'm having trouble giving the name to something without leathery wings, but it works very well here. The designs do really shout cockatrice, al least for true cockatrices and the pheasant cockatrice which makes it easy as to why lump white cockatrices and hound cockatrices there. The only thing is that white cockatrices seem more physically similar to firebirds rather than other cockatrices at first glance. Where they originally conceived of as firebirds when you first made them? They are very cool and I want to see more of them, btw. But I love fluffy and snowy designs in general.
There is a great diversity of dinosaurs similar to hollywood dromis, which is very cool because they also give somewhat diferent vibes, with the indrakai, the true cockatrices, the more classical kaishel dromis and now the snow cockatrice, all of which could be used for very terrifying moments very unique to them.
Oh, I forgot to say it, but I loved the intro segment. It was very cool. And it's always a treat to see Shiny Garther and J Stocky art, they have very fun and cool artstyles.
That’s a very good point about the white cockatrice! Between the proportions and gliding I think you’re right that they would be considered firebirds.
I absolutely adore their art styles and am elated and honored they contributed these pieces!
They’re all gorgeous. I’m especially fond of the white cockatrice.
Thank you! Had fun making that one and the pheasants more elegant than the nastier cockatrices
"Infernogallus"... It's fun and terrifying in the same time. Because they look truly like normals chicken/roosters but deadly and nightmarish version.
And when we know that already birds species like even our regular domestic chicken can be not a gift when we titilate to much this later (roosters can be truly horrific and deadly between them, and when they attact us, it's not with lazyness), we must reconsidered these animals not just simply nuggets to eat, but ferocious animals inside their innocent appearance...
Made my day this has ! Ahhh simply put it was brilliant, all the species listed are amazing, the scavenger Kings interactions with large megaraptorans would surely be worthy of a commission peice, 10/10 my dude ! As always
Thank you thank you!!!
There are two main types of Cockatrices/Eudromaeosaurs/Dromaeosaurid/Dromies on Kaimere and the Known World : 1 - The Normals bulky generic looking raptors, who are more even exclusive hunters, running and ambush predators.
2 - and the Naked head and neck ones, more scavenger (see exclusive for the lesser/little species) that eat the corpses and prevent with the help of the vultures the apparances of diseases. But they still for most of them good hunters, allowing them to be more generalist and successful !
That's a dangerous chicken
I like how some of the species form bonds with different animals and are able to cooperate. It's a very interesting detail. Also you are making it really hard to pick a favourite from a clade, but for now I'm going to choose the ok'hos (for the true cockatrices that is) as I like the design very much. The white cockatrice is also very interesting with it being a giant highland glider.
Thank you! I’d be hard-pressed to name a favorite but I think I also land on the ok’hos. Just going all in on looking as extra as possible.
I like to think Running Vultures and Hyenas also care for each others young too.
I have to say, Kaimere has been a major inspiration for me, especially with worldbuilding a functional ecosystem and designing speculative yet plausible features for dinosaurs and other animals. I love the Dilophosaur-like crests on cockatrice. Does the two flanges inspired by any modern birds or reptiles? I believe there's a lizard that does a similar thing.
Both the frilled lizard clade and some birds like cassowaries have similar but not exactly the same structure.
And thank you! Always happy to hear I’m on the chain of inspiration
Cockatrice: Hisses
Kaimerain Hunter: Clever girl.
I especially love how you’ve integrated Duane Nash’s hypotheses on dromies, which make so much more sense than RPR on the larger species like utahraptor.
Absolutely! He’s not the only one to introduce me to the grapple and stab idea along with their endurance potential but probably the highest profile! A very sensible method imo.
Also, fun fact I actually have the fighting dinosaurs fossil tattooed on my forearm. 😅
WHAAAT THATS SO COOL
And the Berlin Archaeopteryx on my bicep.
This is the way
Loved this video, you have really outdone yourself with your creativity in combining concepts from real life dinosaurs and folcloric creature. I also aplaud the ammount of research and planning you do in thinking about the evolutive and behaivioral adaptations of each creature and it's impact on the greater echosystem.
Thank you! I have a ton of fun with it and there is definitely a lot of studying I try to do as I’m finalizing the project.
@@TalesofKaimere Hey Keennan Taylor when the video called Bovines of Kaimere will come out ?
Don’t have a set date yet
Love the cockatrice designs and biology! I just remembered back to an earlier video, where would the Komu Ka Bawe fit into a tree of Eudromaeosaurs?
I definitely should have included them! They are either basal in or sister to cockatrices.
The Ok'kos, Fosnu and Kenyu design are different from the others videos. But we will say that the previous design are alway canon at 100%, just becoming variation appareance of these same animals, like colors mutation or growth stages for example.
In general, I don't thing there really everytime the need to slightly redesign the animals appearances you already made even it's a long time ago, but it's great that can easily match the existence of the old and new design in the same canon line.
It's alway that, because you draw so well that you always succeed the first time the design of your creatures !
Thanks! Yeah mostly I redesigned them to make the style consistent since the old ones don’t reflect the current cladistics I have (with the fosnu now being in the same genus as the common and black cockatrices)
@@TalesofKaimere I will alway prefer the old secondary form Ok'kos because he look more chicken/rooster like than the new main form but i admit that this later is awesome looking !
This.. Made my week!
Glad to hear it!!
@@TalesofKaimere I never thought that this is the evolution of the Dromies, but it make more than sense... Matter of fact? I was really wondering about the other ones, but I'm Soo looking to hopefully live and see the Oligocene video.. For now...
An others Amazing video !
And here, you present and give a truly deserved tribute to one of the most beloved and fascinating dinosaurs groups that ever lived !
A I appreciate that you made mix and compromised elements stuff in the description, lifestyle and ecology of these creatures.
For example, today, on earth, and since the 2010's decade beginning period, the concept of pack hunting in the Dromaeosaurid/Raptors like depicted in Jurassic Park franchise, is very debated. Since there clues who are positives as negatives on this well now famous aspect of this group in our cultural mind. Even today, this famous question make polemics and still debated as ever, if it's was true or if that never happen.
But it's pretty obvious that there was pack hunting or sort of and at least also social familial behaviors in some species and the opposite in others species since we know and can clearly see that this clade was beautifully diverse in all, especially in size variation who impact directly with importance the species lifestyle.
In any case, this trait behavior is present in Kaimere Dromaeosaurid, either already present since their introduction on the planet from their ancestors or who appears and was developped over time.
Again, that is another good example of how far you can put freely almost every things you want in this universe, even elements of our fossil records or comprehension of prehistoric animals who on earth are currently outdated or dubious but who evolved in some ways on Kaimere since the creatures introduced on this later continue to evolve and not just stupidly still like they always are !
Thank you! Some excellent points there. Wanted to show a range of possible lifestyles, not all social like they are often thought to be, and none in the complex packs we now know they almost certainly didn’t form.
@@TalesofKaimere Yes, true, it's especially that who is clever. Because the people against pack hunting Raptors behaviors said that we always before just take the wolves lifestyle and just put this later to dromies, and that can be viable like hypothetical idea since the first are mammals and the others are reptiles/birds.
But that not an viable argument too. Since wolves have variable behaviors inside their own specie, some being solitary when they have no pack and others living in pack when the manage to create one. And there also lot of behaviors variations in the sister species of Canis lupus like the Coyote and the Golden Chacal who are wolf specie too in the same genus but very less social and normally solitary.
In addition, exact same behaviors traits can evolved and appears in unrelated, completely differents animals clades, orders or lineages.
So Pack hunting raptors is and still as a valid viable idea today since Jurassic Park movie released as ever !
Love how cinematic these are! Good job!
Thank you!!!
I have to say I originally thought that the idea of an ecosystem still dominated by dinosaurs in a world with modern mammals was going to be really over the top & a "no they're super cool & deadly & dinosaurs are the best animals" type of thing (it honestly put me off of looking into Kaimere for a long time) but this is incredibly good! I really like the idea of dinosaurs maintaining their apex niches not just from size but from more advanced behavior & the harvest magic's over the top desire for stability keeping major die offs from really being able to shake things up too much too fast
Thank you! Yeah it's important to me to try and make it feel dynamic, that dinosaurs are still actively evolving and adapting to a constant barrage of very derived and competitive mammals.
I'm reminded of another post talking about speculative raptors on Instagram. The venetosaurus from Peter Jackson's King Kong is not actually a raptor but shares ancestry with some other scaled theropod that evolved convergently with eudromeosaurs. That was also explaining its pronated wrist
I always preferred portraying cockatrices in fantasy like in witcher 3, but taking dromies and making them cockatrices fits incredibly well.
Thanks! Yeah just in general the Witcher games kill it with creature design
The Eastern Continent is giving me major Pandyssian vibes (for all you Dishonored fans out there).
I don’t know what that is but I’ll check it out!
@@TalesofKaimere Dishornored is a video game series; Pandyssia was a vast supercontinent in the East (barely explored and full of weird giant creatures).
I think it's awesome that dromaeosaurs are in Kaimere but have become diverse ranging from hunters to giant scavengers that have upright postures and bald heads with crests.
An awesome and memorable group of kaimere without a doubt!
Thank you!!
I'm definitely gonna make figurines of alot of your kaimere animals, I'll let them know that these incredible beasts are owned and created by you of course, I just make the figurines.
Hi! I'm loving this worldbuilding project of yours.
Are you going to do any video about the Tyrant Dynasty and/or talk more about the dinosauroids of your world?
Eventually yes (talk about the tyrant dynasty quite a bit in the Oligocene harvest episode) but neither are the focal point of episodes on the immediate horizon
@@TalesofKaimere Ok, thanks for the reply!
I would love to see the absolute shock on someone’s face as they see a raptor descending from the air thinking it first man that’s a really big eagle until it hits them in the chest and turns out to be the size of an adult female lion
Best. raptor. designs. ever.
Thanks!!
Cockatrice king of the dromaeosaurids
Love these guys
The fact that both of us arrived to the decision of making cockatrices raptors completely independently lol
This is the way
I’d like to see a video on the varanids of Kaimere
You said OkHos was Dakotaraptor-sized. Thats aproaching the size (or at least the height) of a Carnotaurus
not exactly, that's utsahrapr you are thinking of.
Was just a rough estimate, but also hip height is exaggerated by longer legs and combined with the elevated posture looks a lot bigger than they actually are.
Lovely work.
Thanks!
This episode may just be my favorite so far. I always wondered about the dromaeosaurs on kaimere, heck I honestly thought the fire birds were the dromaeosaurs you mention in your other videos. I must wonder though what species did the fire birds come from. I’m guessing something akin to baluar since it seems that fire birds may have 2 long dew claws instead of 1. Or I’m just seeing things that are not actually there.
It’s got some Balaur inspiration! First Indrakai was designed as a descendant of them back in gosh I want to say that was 2010/2011? Firebirds are descended from something similar to Archaeopteryx.
@@TalesofKaimere oh that’s really neat!
idk why but raptors and hyenas working together just sounds scary
Random question : there where Dinosauroïds troodontids species in the Known World but now they are extinct in this region and are alive only in the Eastern Continent.
What or who kill them to local extinction in the Known World region and why ?
Partly it was cockatrices. Intelligence of the dinosauroids only helped them so much and being slower breeders with more long term parental investment proved disadvantageous against the sheer numbers of their competition. First children hunted down the last in the known world.
@@TalesofKaimere The First Childrens has considered the Dinosauroïds as potential rivals, treats or simply thought to be sooooo superior to them that the Dinosauroïds don't deserved to lived in the same places as them ?
Speaking of Jurassic Park outdated depictions aspect domain, is it possible that somewhere on Kaimere some population or groups of Raptors but also Oviraptorid became completely featherless and enterely naked skin/scaly to look like very similar to the 80-90's period depictions, under some climate or environnemental pressures like very hot temperature that even the most isolant feathers Can be useful against this ?
Since feathers are great for shading and cooling (thermal studies of tropical and desert birds show this) I doubt it, but diseases could certainly result in naked dromies!
@@TalesofKaimere Okay, fine.
But let all agree on this point : it's should be cool to see that Kaimere have animals who naturally look like old depictions representations like the 80-90's prehistoric dinos or Zdenek Burian and Charles R. Knight paleoarts painting, since they could evolved to be similars on Kaimere over time (like a natural JP3 looking Raptor or an Agathaumas looking Ceratopsian, etc...).
So yes, it's completely possible to made that, since in addition you already made some creature like a Diracodon Parksosaur or a Godzilla Notosuchian !
Absolutely! I think it’s likely that in the crocodile diversity of the Eastern continent and surrounding islands we will see some scaled raptor-like predators
Nice job!!! VERY curious to see what comes next (pakardiant firebirds perhaps?)
Thank you!! Firebirds definitely need an episode. Next up is some gliding fauna unique to Kaimere and why gliders do so well in Kaimere (dominance of open forests because of titanosaur foraging) and a sponsored episode on the Oligocene harvest and it’s legacy!
@@TalesofKaimere Now that's something I can look forward to
0:14 The cockatrice can talk?! 😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯
Nah I was just trying a bit lol
Great video ad always man!! When does Momo’s video drop?
Gliders are going to be later this week. Haven’t even recorded yet so don’t have a set release date
I’m sure everyone who delves into sci-fi and fantasy world building with dinosaurs inevitably has to address the Eudromaeosaurs, though these cockatrices are stand outs! A good mixture of fascinating, horrifying, and disgusting (in the best ways).
I’m curious, did the “true” Cockatrices evolve from a shared Kaimeran ancestor with the Pheasant Cockatrice and White Cockatrice? Or did these groups get harvested separately from Earth during the Cretaceous?
Thank you! I really wanted to present them as nasty and powerful. Not dense but not terribly clever either.
Probably had a distinct common ancestor. There were a dozen or more possible harvests throughout the mesozoic that could have brought dromies so it makes sense that different lineages would come about.
In a world full of various large predators, how fierce would you say competition is between them? And how do the Kaimerans deal with them? I’ve been building a world that’s just as diverse with species of large predators.
Competition is extremely steep in the known world. Things are a lot more stable on the Eastern continent. People in the known world tend to deal by making walled settlements and traveling at times of the day/year with minimal threats.
That makes sense. In my world, they have walled settlements and have mint growing around the walls. The strong-smelling herb keeps most predators away.
Any amphibious or aquatic Pterosaurs?
Extinct or Concurrent?
None planned
Clever Girls! Love video by the way!
Thank you!! Clever indeed!
@@TalesofKaimere you're welcome!
When are you going to make the video about pakardiant Firebirds
At the moment I’m lined up with sponsored videos. Hoping to do it on the sooner side but gotta prioritize the paid videos atm!
I noticed that the range of the Common Cockatrice includes a small area in the Qajarith peninsula. If they are found there, how are the lions doing so well?
There was a period of culling by the First Children and the lions repopulated first. Got large and social enough to defend, and the Republic is pretty aggressive in culling efforts of cockatrices. At the moment the context favors lions although if the Republic efforts were removed from the equation the dynamic would shift to convention.
I see in one picture a terror bird, how do they hold up in this competitive ecosystem? Also is there just one type sauropod or many more? Great work as always 👍
Thanks! There are two species of terror bird: one in the open forests and one on the prairie. This one in the thumbnail is the prairie species. There are two genera of titanosaurs, one super big one and one that has a bunch of smaller species.
cool name but anyways I wanted to ask a question. The question is is there any type of squirrel in kaimere
There are indeed many squirrels, both burrowing and arboreal
Hm, so wait, what is the status of those “diving raptors” who are mostly known from Kaishel? Are they some other kind of Paravian? Also is it possible firebirds may at least be related to species like Rahonavis (who with Overoraptor, supposedly form a clade that is closer to avialans then either troodontids or dromaeosaurs)?
Firebirds and penguin raptors are a group descended from something like Archaeopteryx and until we know where that’s placed (studying for this video suggested a WIDE range of opinions on their cladistics) I can’t finalize where the firebirds and penguin raptors fall. Just know they’re not eudromaeosaurs
The Penguin Raptors are a sister group/cousins of the FireBirds clade, so they are also Paravian/Avialae too.
These two groups evolved to look like again like generic raptors.
Exactely like the Balaur Bondoc on Hateg island on earth.
@@TalesofKaimere ah okay, thanks for the clarification!
@@TalesofKaimere Speaking of which, what about the sauropod-hunting specialists?
Great question! They are in the cockatrice clade but an early offshoot. Like T. rex, the fused ankle aids in strength more than running efficiency.
Random Question : Speaking of hyenas, you said one time that there were currently any Cave Hyena (famous subspecie of the current Spotted Hyena in Africa) because they were outcompeted by the Common/Prairie Hyena of the Eastern Continent and the Houze Prairie habitat. But it's seem you change your choice since the last Big Cat video, right ?
Yup! Hyenas are a bit of a mess in the current canon. I will clarify it all in the hyena episode.

To send you fanart others by Twitter or Instagramm plateforms, what email address can we use ?
Best email is theillustratedmenagerie@gmail.com
@@TalesofKaimere Thank you very much !
Absolutely!
Head Naked Dromies have naked head to eat dead carcasses like vultures do.
But since there already "Chicken looking Dromies", it's possible that they are true specie of real scavenger phasianid Gallus gallus chicken/Rooster who have naked head and neck to eat dead corpses and carcasses ?
Because among our 300 current chicken races, there some who possess already naked head and neck and could be scavenger species if their was specialize in this specific diet !
The naked head does help keep clean but it also helps thermoregulate (portions shaded by feathers and head/ legs exposed to ventilate in the wind) and they can tuck into the ruff in colder parts of their range.
@@TalesofKaimere And about the possibility of a Scavenger Chicken specialist having a naked head like the vultures or Kaimeres Cockatrices ?
I honestly thought they where dylophosaurus
what are the dominant or most common dinosaur clades in the known world?
I'm really liking the focus on the smaller predators. Both the cats and the dromaeosaur videos have been great and I can't wait for the inevitable dog one, since they're probably the group we've seen and known the least of.
As usual, a few questions:
1. Are there any non dinosaur predators that could fend off a common cockatrice kill steal (counting all of them, not just the ones in their range)
2. Unrelated to the video, but what's the biggest flying thing in Kaimere that isn't an azdarchid?
Hyenas and dogs are much deserving of episodes too. Hoping to feature them in the next few months.
1. Not really. Guchar (200 pound gobiconodont) can hold their own and a thick neck with oversized jaws makes them hard to tackle, but they are slow and kinda clumsy so can be overwhelmed. Entelodonts can defend their kills but they’re mostly restricted to the Eastern continent.
2. Largest non-pterosaur flyer is the black teratorn, a bird with a 15-20 foot wingspan. Planning on a flying therocephalian that will be around 400 pounds with a 30-35 foot wingspan, but still outdone by Kaimere’s largest azhdarchids
@@TalesofKaimere I suppose the earlier ones in a rougher world would have some advantage against dromaeosaurs. One last thing, how do Kaimerans interact with these things? I'd imagine some hunting parties would run afoul of these things after a kill.
Awesome
Btw wanna hear how dromaosaurs are doing in the biodome
Go for it!
@@TalesofKaimere ok we start on how the gryphons started out
The gryphons common ancestor is the micro raptor
And when an extinction event happened ( the one that killed the carcheradontosaurs tyrannosaurs centrasaurine ceratopsians and large horses ) the micro raptor had an adaptive radiation explosion
Making them as large as a big cat ( any )
And with a few a mane
But they kept the clades most ancestral feature
Gliding
Wanna hear the gryphons that are in the biodome? ( via by names and descriptions )
Very cool! Like the adaptive radiation. Go for it!
@@TalesofKaimere ok
First the most common
The yuoti
This common gryphon is very shy towards humans and are nocturnal
Their faces resemble that of an elf owl
Their wings have evolved talon’s and with serrations on their feathers making noiseless beats of the wing
And with their ear feathers resemble a bobcats ears
And with their feet have evolved a sort of “paw” making them silent on the ground and in flight
Their big as a bobcat
And long as two grey hounds
The Prairie gryphon ( vohoti )
This gryphon is king of the prairie
With a lion like mane in the back of the neck and a naked head and neck
Their back legs have “paws” ( as well as all the other gryphons )
They are the second best land scavenger ( the best scavenger is a terror bird descendant)
They are big as a condor
And as long as a lion
The jubanzi ( jungle gryphon )
They are the third largest Gryphon
With wing large enough to help them glide as if their flying and with talons the size of a grizzly bears claw
And with harpy eagle like feathery crown ( along with small feather tuffs that resemble tiger ears )
And with a tiger like pattern on their grey and oak wood Orange fur
The only thing they compete with is a
hyenadont
The mopoquin ( mountain griffin ) this is the most daring of the gryphon family climbing mountains tall as Mount Everest and simply jumping off and gliding with features like brown and whitish grey feathers with spots and being ( basically ) a giant version of microraptor ( but with ear tuffs “paws” and a longer tail )
And the most odd out of the gryphons is the
Drovan
They are unique group of gryphons because….
They fill in the role of a peaceful ornithamimasaur
With a ostrich like build and the speed of a cheetah ( and the features of both the animals even down to the baby camouflaging as a baby dronus )
And being the only flightless gryphon
They compete with a clade of omnivorous packycephelasaur and kangaroos
And finally the biggest out of the griffins is the….
Dronus
These guys are big as a semi large sauropod and having no use of their toe claw but they are a force to be reckoned but with a weight of 10 tons they ( of course) can’t fly but
With a long neck and a short carcheradontosaur like face
They are the new sauropod butchers
( but they do compete with a clade of dilophosaurus descendants )
You like ?
Interesting choice for some of these bird boys to have bald heads like vultures
“Certain franchise applied” I wONDer WhaT iT COuLd BE?
I’m a man of great subtlety
How do ok'hos interact with avudi, majenook, giants, and harpies?
They will sometimes intimidate them, but often just run away. Harpies are often tiny compared to them, but the first-mothers have a 30-35 foot wingspan and the ok’hos clears out when they arrive.
the way you pronounce deinonychus hurts me on a spiritual level
Lol
interesting about how you made raptors based on a medieval creature, oh sorry about backing out, just didn't have Paypal!
No worries! I totally understand
Ah, the wet dreams of all paleontology fans: seeing Raptors tormenting the lives of carnivorous mammals. and they do it very well, how lucky for us that God had other plans for the Cenozoic.
Yes indeed! They are quite a menace
What other maniraptarians dwell in kaimere?
Bird
Why did social living arise in cockatrices environment or something
I imagine same factors as most social predators
@@TalesofKaimere as response to the more open environment
maybe a raptor gets aggressive more than normal less most feathers and gets smart?
