Editing Dinosaur (section)

==Major groups of dinosaurs==
Prepare for '''SCIENCE.''' The major two types of dinosaur are divided according to the shape of their hip bone.

===Saurischia===
The "lizard-hipped" dinosaurs. Ironically, birds are part of Saurischia.

====Theropoda====
*Easy name: Meat-eaters
*Well known members: ''Tyrannosaurus'', ''Velociraptor'', ''Gallimimus''
*Awesome obscure members: ''Deinocheirus'', ''Yi'', ''Gypaetus'', ''Majungasaurus''

You know them well. The hunters of the prehistoric world. Theropods were likely the first group of dinosaurs to arise, and diversified quite a lot. Also the only group to survive the asteroid impact (and subsequent climate change). The loss of these awe- inspiring hunters was one of the only things to make [[Khorne]] sad. '''EVER'''. Then he [[RAGE]]D because there were no [[Psykers]] around at the time, so he couldn't have sent his [[Daemon]]s to capture the Theropod dinosaurs and make them his servants.

=====Therizinosauria=====
*Easy name: The Weird Ones
*Well known members: ''Therizinosaurus'',
*Awesome obscure members: They're all obscure

Therizinosaurus are to theropods what pandas are to normal bears. They used to be carnivores, now they eat plants, which gives them a weird mish-mash of features. While part of the Theropod clade they are too weird not to be worth a mention all on their own. They are most well known for having massive claws, in fact ''Therizinosaurus'' means ''scythe lizard''. While they could be used to manipulate plants they could also have used for defense, and again they are massive.

=====Avialae=====
*Easy name: Birds/Proto-birds
*Well known members: ''Archaeopteryx'',''Microraptor'', ''Birds''
*Awesome obscure members: ''Rahonavis'',''Scansoriopterygidae'', ''The Terror birds''

At this point it's been basically confirmed that birds are dinosaurs and Avialae are the group that not only became birds, it also includes them. While many of the species that actually lived in the age of dinosaurs were nothing impressive, most being smallish and likely being insectivore, birds never 'forgot' how to be dinosaurs and for a long time large flightless birds were the dominate land predator of South America. These species are known informally as "The Terror Birds".

====Sauropoda====
*Easy name: Long-necks
*Well known members: ''Apatosaurus'', ''Brachiosaurus'', ''Diplodocus''
*Awesome obscure members: ''Amargasaurus'', ''Shunosaurus'', ''Dreadnoughtus''

The other most well-known group. Titans with nothing on their minds other than eating. Notable for having the largest animals in the history of the planet (longer than whales, but not nearly as heavy). Could, though, rear up on their hind legs (if those legs were the longer of the two pairs), and come down HARD to crush the LIVING FUCK out of ANYTHING, '''ANYTHING''' underneath. In theory anyway they could just end up shattering there legs into a thousand pieces, there's a good reason why Elephants can't jump after all. What is not in doubt is that being hit by one of there tails would be like being bitch slapped by Khorne him self, herbivore or not, even a T-Rex feel that in the morning. In fact we have a Allosaurus fossil with a broken jaw that could have come from such an impact, we don't (nor can we ever) know for sure but not impossible.

===Ornithischia===
The "bird-hipped" dinosaurs. Might be weird that birds aren't in this group, but the terms were coined in the 1800s, so what can ya do.

====Thyreophora====
*Easy name: Armored Dudes
*Well known members: ''Stegosaurus'', ''Ankylosaurus'', ''Euoplocephalus''
*Awesome obscure members: ''Kentrosaurus'', ''Polacanthus'', ''Sauropelta'', ''Dacentrurus''

Armor, man. These guys were walking tanks with rows of bony armor, or spikes or plates, with many species having weaponized tails which (among the Stegosauridae family) are known informally as Thagomizers after a Gary Larson Far Side Cartoon. Yes really.  There is much skub about whether their armored plates were for defense or thermoregulation (ie, heat sinks). Also notable because some scientists believe that they had [http://i.imgur.com/4KsLhRI.jpg| colossal, sideways dongs.] Seriously, how the hell else could they bone? Can't do normal fucking with those spikes in the way...

====Ornithopoda====
*Easy name: Duck Bills
*Well known members: ''Iguanodon'', ''Parasaurolophus'', ''Edmontosaurus''
*Awesome obscure members: ''Kulindadromeus'', ''Shangtungosaurus'', ''Tsintaosaurus''

Your standard "dino plant-eaters", though some theorize they could have actually been quite aggressive, which considering how many people are killed by plant eating hippos and elephants is quite probable.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBU6zfI1b0U| We also actually know what one type sounded like!]

====Marginocephalia====
*Easy name: Horned Faces
*Well known members: ''Triceratops'', ''Protoceratops'', ''Pachycephalosaurus''
*Awesome obscure members: ''Diabloceratops'', ''Einosaurus'', ''Nasutoceratops''

Probably the last major group to arise. All originally bipedal, but some grew too massive for that. Also had a weird convergent evolution with birds, they had straight-up beaks. Also made fuck-awesome battering rams or goring beasts in battle. Like, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY OR I WILL CRUSH YOU UNDER 9 TONS OF MOVING MUSCLE AND SPEAR YOU LIKE A FISH fuck-awesome.
