Have any of you heard of the awe-inspiring Quetzalcoatlus? If you haven't, then you need to look that awesome dino  on Google. Or just take a look at this:
Quetzalcoatlus is a flying reptilian bird the size of a giraffe. He ate baby dinosaurs for breakfast.
Now that you know the awesomeness of Quetzalcoatlus (and I repeat his name for emphasis and because it, like him, is awesome) tell me that you do not want a pet based off of this bird.
Now I realize that the Drindian is very similar in build to this creature, but it is not anywhere near as terrifying. So, I based the following sketch off of the image above and mixed the Quetzalcoatlus with a giraffe and removed his wings (I'm sorry mighty beast, but it had to be done D;).

I think a 20 foot tall giraffe/reptilian bird creatu would be pretty awesome. I'm not sure about a color scheme (probably something similar to the original coloring of the actual dinosaur) and I think it would either go on Relcore or Scria. We could also keep the awesome name and call it something like Quetzal or Quetlus or Coatzal. Thank you for reading and I'd love to hear your input.

Very neat idea! We definitely have used that dino as inspiration for the Drindian. I had even suggested to Xee that we adopt the anatomy of their front legs when she was revamping them. Still, I love how they turned out in the end.

I can see them having an advantage on Scria as a land-dwelling creature. Maybe being able to see high above the mist and clouds. Same with Relcore, seeing high above the forest line.

I knew it! I figured that this dino had an influence on the drindian's design. Thanks for the feedback. :)
