The Eye of Sauroniopsby ~HodariNundu

Traditional Art / Drawings / Animals

Los diminutos ancestros de hombres (y hobbits, y elfos, y enanos?) observan aterrados a un Sauroniops escondido entre la vegetacion que les devuelve la mirada.
Sauroniops es uno de esos frustrantes dinosaurios que son bautizados y descritos a partir de patéticos restos fragmentarios, de modo que realmente no tenemos idea de como se veian; pero su nombre, que significa "ojo de Sauron" era demasiado epico como para no dibujarlo :>
Sus restos fueron hallados en Marruecos y habría coexistido con Spinosaurus y Carcharodontosaurus.

The diminutive ancestors of men (and hobbits, and elves, and dwarves?) watch in horror as a Sauroniops hidden in the vegetation watches them back.
Sauroniops is one of those frustrating dinos named and described from pathetically fragmentary remains, so we really have no idea what they looked like; but its name, meaning "eye of Sauron", was too epic to be ignored.
Its remains were found in Morocco and it coexisted with Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus.

First Sauroniops in DA, apparently- at least under that name.

I see what you did with that stick.

Eh, nice composition

But, as far as i've read about this guy, i wouldn't be surprised if he'd turn out to be just a big Carcarodontosaurus (we just have a postorbital which looks veeeery similar to Carcha's ones only slightly larger, for Smaug's sake!)...

I actually agree. I'm not fond of this bad habit of naming new genera based on measly fragments like this one.

~Kazuma27 Dec 24, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Yep, but i guess it has to do with the fact some paleontologists wanna be famous, so naming a new species is the easiest way to gain fame and get the headlines...

There is no life in the stomach of Sauroniops, only death

I recall when I give you a link for news on this dinosaur months ago

~MugenSeiRyuu Nov 2, 2012

Ah, Pop Culture Dinosaur names!

Three Rings for the Maniraptor-Kings under the sky,
Seven for the Ankylosaurid-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for puny mammals doomed to die,
One for Sauroniops on his dark throne
In the Land of Morocco where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Morocco where the Shadows lie.
