Daeodon

(temporal range: 29-15.97 mio. years ago)

[text from the Wikipedia article, see also link above]

Daeodon is an extinct genus of entelodont even-toed ungulates that inhabited North America about 23 to 20 million years ago during the latest Oligocene and earliest Miocene. The type species is Daeodon shoshonensis, described by a very questionable holotype by Cope. Some authors synonymize it with Dinohyus hollandi and several other species (see below), but due to the lack of diagnostic material, this is questionable at best.

Another large member of this family, similar in size to Daeodon, is the Asian Paraentelodon, but it is known by very incomplete material.

TVVF(The Volume Viking Faunus) Second Paragraph.

A Man in a cloak and his Companion Grimm had walked for at Least A Month? Maybe A Year? They traveled on foot to get here from the peaceful kingdom of Vacuo with its small population and it being dangerous for all of the Sinkholes and Grimm. The pair found the place paradise from their homeland of the Harsh… Unforgiving, Brutal and Freezing Blizzards, Terrarian, and The Cold of the High North. The High North was a place more northern than the Kingdom of Atlas. The 2 beasts had recently raided a huntsman weapon making facility in Vacuo, doing so only because it is the weakest and smallest Kingdom. To Forge a weapon equal to the huntsman and steal Dust to use as weapons and explosives. They got away with it too… The man was confused and worried about how they got away with it, So he hacked into the mainframe of the CCTV tower and found that: The Towers Were Down! IMPOSSIBLE.. but ‘Finally… FINALLY at Last! I can put my plans into motion..’The man thought to himself at that time… But, A Grimm and a Human traveling? How absurd!! And how unheard of! Impossible by All but not to this man. They went up to the castle walls of Evernight, the tower itself was easily 150 meters in height. It appeared to be made from Crystals with Insidious Origins, the Sky looked blackened, full of hate and suffering but compared to the High North, and the Blizzards… this was a cake walk. “So this is the Castle of the Great Wicked Witch of the East, Salem.. I thought it would be guarded now he’ there, Daniel?”Said the Man, Daniel was a Special Species of Grimm from the High North…. It was massive standing at a terrifying 2 meters in height. Its Jaws took a third of its size, It’s saw was almost a meter in length, Its jaws were odd, having massive canines, Shredding ensizers, Bone snapping Premolars and Vegatatiarian Molars. It ran on Cloven Hooves like a Horse, its mass was equal to Tank, and was as Ferrous as a Tiger…. A Hell Pig. The Hell Pig looked at it’s master and just snorted at him in embarrassment. “What-a-at!?” the tall man laughingly and jokingly asked his companion Hell Pig. “Should we break down the door or DESTROY It?!?!” The Hell Pig squealed at the ladder statement, even getting on its front hooves and kicked with its hind quarters in raw excitement at the thought of chaos. He went to his Dinohyus friend and he grabbed his weapon, Marauder Specalus. His gun resembled some sort of automatic rifle, it was black and brown with accents of red and gold. It had a long barrel with a banana magazine. He held it in a rifle stance, then walked over to the Door. Then started open firing on the wall. The Grimm lying around the pools of evil and blacked Grimmed awaked to sounds of the Gun fire. The Grimm went over to the source of the rattling sounds. They walked, crawled, ran and did all the disturbing ways of locomotion. He activated his semblance. His veins were popping out, his semblance went inside out covering only his insides from damage. His eyes.. How horrific of a living thing, his eyes, Red Iris.. Black Sclera.. And snarly teeth, he got on top of his Hell Pig companion, And started to get ready for battle. “Aras!!!” he screamed as Marauder Specalus became a Sword, no! A Claymore. He charged forward as at least 50 Grimm and attacked them.

Daeodon shoshonensis was an entelodont, which are commonly called “Hell Pigs” or “Terminator Pigs,” but are actually closer related to hippos and whales than pigs.

Daeodon shoshonensis was the largest entelodont at almost 7 feet at the shoulder. While they had large tusks and strong incisors, they were most likely omnivores like modern pigs, eating tough roots, nuts, bark, fungi, and carrion. Their jaws could open unusually wide, a feature seen in their hippo relatives, so they may have similarly used their gape to intimidate rivals and jaw-wrestle. The large bony growths on the skull seem to vary between individuals, so it’s speculated that only males may have had the impressive “cheekbones” to protect their faces during sparring matches.

Daeodon lived in Miocene Nebraska, USA, in a floodplain environment, alongside camels, chalicothere, bear-dogs, land beavers, and small rhinoceroses.

(You also may know Daeodon as the terrifying face peering through a peephole in a certain meme)

Dinohyus: “Terrible Pig” in More Ways Than One

By Joe Sawchak

In the depths of Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s basement, in the Vertebrate Paleontology (VP) collection area known as the Big Bone Room, there is a small model of a prehistoric pig-like mammal known as Dinohyus. The name Dinohyus translates to “terrible pig,” and in life, this buffalo-sized beast must indeed have been a terrifying sight. Even so, to several members of the VP staff, including myself, the model—lovingly known as The Hyus—is perhaps even more horrifying than the actual creature itself. See for yourself:

The Hyus: the rarely-seen scale model of Dinohyusin the Big Bone Room at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Does anything about it seem odd to you?

Notice anything weird?

Like, maybe, the eyes?!

If so, then you’re not alone. To those other VP staff and I—plus most of the few other people to whom we’ve shown this model—the eyes seem so ‘emotive’ or ‘human’ that it’s disturbing. It almost seems as though they’re staring right into your soul…

A side view of The Hyus taken in 1910, shortly after the model was made.

So, how did such a bizarre model come to be in our museum’s collection? Well, none of us really knew, so I did some digging into our archives. As it turns out, the model was sculpted by one Theodore Augustus Mills, born April 24, 1839 in Charleston, South Carolina. Beginning in 1860, Mills studied at the Munich Royal Academy of Fine Arts for five years. Afterward, he was employed by the Smithsonian and a few other institutions. Then, in 1898, he began work at Carnegie Institute, the parent organization of what is now known as Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Soon thereafter, he was permanently hired in the Section of Vertebrate Paleontology to make models of prehistoric animals. His Dinohyus model was completed in 1909 and catalogued as specimen CM (Carnegie Museum) 2503. A mold was made of the sculpture, and as such, the museum actually possesses multiple copies of the model. Mills worked at the Carnegie until his death from pneumonia on December 11, 1916.

An interesting side note regarding Theodore Mills is that, early in his career, he assisted his father Clark Mills in making a cast of US President Abraham Lincoln’s face. This cast was made only 60 days prior to Lincoln’s assassination in 1865.

But back to the question at hand: why does Carnegie Museum of Natural History house The Hyus? The answer is that the museum is also home to what is probably the most complete, best-preserved fossil skeleton of its namesake species that has ever been discovered. In 1905, Carnegie Museum field collector T. F. Olcott unearthed this skeleton (now catalogued as specimen CM 1594) from the Agate Springs Fossil Quarry in the northwestern corner of Nebraska. Later that year, another Carnegie paleontologist, O. A. Peterson, designated that fossil as the type, or name-bearing, specimen of a new species that he called Dinohyus hollandi. As explained above, Dinohyus translates to “terrible pig,” whereas hollandi refers to William Jacob Holland, the Director of Carnegie Institute at the time. Dinohyusis an entelodont, an extinct group of pig-like (but not closely related to modern pigs) mammals that probably ate both meat and plants. Standing about six feet tall at the shoulder, it was among the largest of its kind. Dinohyus inhabited North America between roughly 29 and 19 million years ago during the late Oligocene and early Miocene epochs.

Shortly after its discovery, the type specimen of Dinohyus hollandi was mounted and put on display here at the Carnegie Museum. We presume that Theodore Mills made his model to accompany this display, intending to give museum visitors a glimpse of what this frightening brute may have looked like in the flesh.

Decades later, beginning in the 1990s, many paleontologists have argued that the entelodont species Dinohyus hollandi and Daeodon shoshonensis are actually the same kind of animal. If so, Daeodonwould be the correct name because it was coined first.

Today, though the model is relegated to storage in the Big Bone Room (due, perhaps, to its unsettling appearance?), CM 1594is still on display in Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s exhibition Age of Mammals: The Cenozoic Era. Furthermore, the source of this remarkable specimen, Agate Springs Fossil Quarry, is now the centerpiece of Agate Fossil Beds National Monument.

And though Dinohyus itself is now widely known as Daeodon, Mills’ model will always be The Hyus to us.

Quick sketch of a Dinohyus (Deadon) skull, a prehistoric artiodactyl that was also known as the Terminator Pig because of its massive size and terrifying skull. The head alone could measure up to a meter in length. It is a direct descendant of  the Hell Pig, another smaller entelodont.

Couldn’t decide between colors so have all three of them!

Creature study in a simple conte crayon style. Learning to blend features of a predator with an omnivorous forager is a bit tricky but thanks to the long extinct Dinohyus I have plenty of bone references to study from.
