A cassowary usually weighs around 59-85 kg and they can absolutely fuck you up, so a 200-250 kg one the size of a giraffe with a lance on its face is a huge no from me.
Suddenly the Americans refusing to give up their heavy assault weapons makes a bit of sense. Only takes one mad scientist and boom theyre roaming the earth again.

I too experienced Kenshi flashbacks from this meme.
Predatory giraffes
Mega pterodactyl
Their skeletons are fucking spooky to see in real life. Imagine what it felt like when they took off. They’d fucking run too.
Dinosaurs are cool
Even though they lived alongside each other, pterosaurs weren’t dinosaurs
Quetzalcoatlus northropi is the scariest dinosaur I’ve ever seen.
I can only imagine what those huge beaks were for. Like diving from the sky at some prey, simply punching it straight through it like a huge spear.
My money is on heron style since they can stalk around and look down through cover:

We scared up a Blue Heron at the swamp last month. Seen plenty of them from a slight distance. They are monsters up close.
And where exactly will you hide?
Not a dinosaur, but yes
quetzalcoatlus northropi!
or sky giraffes, either/or.
WHAT ARE THOSE?!?!
Irl claw game. But you’re the snack
Check out the show Prehistoric Planet. There’s an episode all about them. The entire show is great and there is a new third season coming out soon.
Beak things
It’s a common Brazilian joke when people get bird shit on their head to say “hey, be thankful cows don’t fly”…
There was one time that one didn’t have even that.
My uncle always used to say a silly little poem:
i’ve always heard it like “god wasn’t crazy to make snakes fly”. i think it’s even more relevant.
I dunno how relevant anything is, but always remember that there exists a kind of snake that does fly.
That’s predatory flying giraffes to you!
There’s an animatronic one of these at my local zoo. It’s absurd.
Flying predatory giraffes.

My dream pet. I’ve always wanted one of these. If I ever finish my game I’m going to make it a pet you can get and rid on.
Even though their size is insane, they probably weighed like 200-250 kg, meaning they were pretty light.
I’d rather fight one of these than any sort of land based raptor.
A cassowary usually weighs around 59-85 kg and they can absolutely fuck you up, so a 200-250 kg one the size of a giraffe with a lance on its face is a huge no from me.
Sure they can, and could disembowel you with one kick.
I’d still rather fight one of those than some properly quadruped super crocodile.
