Description
A kulindadromeus walks in the open fern prairies of the ice age as two primitive eutherians pass by.Imagine a world where things went a bit different. There are no humans, no elephants, no whales, but suddenly something passes by, a dromaeosaur, scavenging on a strange ungulates' carcass.
This is Prodigia, a world which split from ours 150 mya. Dinosaurs, pterosaurs and many other groups that time left behind in our world have gotten a second chance here. While they thrive here, it's the mammals that truly rule, though this ones are very different from our worlds'. Multituberculates, monotremates and eutherians, though very different from the ones we know, rule this world. Even non-mammalian cynodonts survive in Gondwanna in the form of tritylodontids. Many groups have disappeared though, choristoderes, docodonts, temnospondyles, these are just some of the extinct groups, whose places have now been taken by others.
Prodigia, unlike our world has had not one, but three mass extinctions after 150 mya. A great ice age 150 mya made the split between our world and prodigia, while a volcanic mass extinction followed 47 million years later, with the last mass extinction being one that happened in our world too, the K-Pg, caused by the very same asteroid, though with a few differences. The Deccan traps didn't become quite as active, spreading their power throughout the late Cretaceous and Paleogene, while the asteroid did crash, but in this world it happened in Mongolia.
Welcome to Prodigia, a world so similar and yet so different.

Interesting take on the "if dinosaurs survived scenario"!

Thank you, but the dinosaurs are not the focus.

Dude this is freaking cool! Love the textures. The colors are wonderful as well!
Btw I was scrolling down my watcher list and I didn't see your familiar icon. It's ok if you don't want to watch me anymore, but I was just making sure there wasn't a mistake.
