Description Adicornsaurus wandered isolated Mesozoic deserts,  lumbering at a leisurely pace. They spent most of their lives eating and wandering, generally a life style inherited by sauropods but these strange theropods adopted it.
When they hatch Adicornsaurus young fend for themselves in an Oasis their mother chose to lay them in. The hatchlings eat as much as they can each day, sleeping the spaces between each omnivorous feast.

If they've avoided being eaten by predators and each other long enough the Adicornsaurus will be too large for the Oasis to sustain them, thus they'll migrate to the next one. Thanks to their constant eating their tails should contain enough fat to sustain them for the long journey.
Likely they'll come across other Adicornsaurs groups, likely leading to males rutting for females, flashing their dewlaps and comparing horns until they push and shove for mating rights. The one that falls, loses. The winner gets his choice of accepting female.

Once they reach an Oasis they will eat what they can, the males tending to be more herbivorous while females will turn carnivorous to sustain their developing eggs.  When the females are ready to lay, they chase off the males, lay their eggs in secure locations, then leave to another Oasis.

Awesome! Harkens back to the much more simpler designs that you could find in old American Sci-fi films. That and early Japanese films as well. It's straight forward and everything on his makes sense. There is no extra frills and spikes for no reason. I miss this sort of none convoluted esthetic designs

Interesting design. Reminds me of the old stop motion dinosaurs.

A fellow on Tumblr called Tyrantisterror has this contest going on were people get to design Retrosaurs, dinosaurs who match up with old false paleontology.

Im hoping more people might try this out, its a blast to make inaccurate dinosaurs.

Old paleontology, while false was kind of charming anyways.

I did an oldschool pterosaur some time ago kingovrats.deviantart.com/art/…
