So I was watching the funny Lego pajama men show with a friend the other day. I get to the season 2 episode "Child's Play", and I couldn't help but notice something interesting.

They gave the goofy looking fictional dinosaur a full scientific name, and two of those words are real scientific words. They didn't need to do that! But they did anyway!

Ninjago has set foot into my domain! And it shall not be spared from my judgment!

So let's break this sucker down.

Dromaeosaurid Theropod Grundalychus

"Grundalychus" is of course the species name, which there's nothing to really dig into there. People can and will name dinosaurs whatever they want. So in this moment the species name doesn't really matter.

"Theropod" and "Dromaeosarid" are both very real terms though, which gives me something to work with.

I don't really understand why Garmadon would list the family and then the class, but hey he probably just isn't that well read on paleontological taxonomy.

Let's start off with the easy one. "Therapod" is a rather broad class of dinosaur. Covering everything from tyranosaurus and spinosaurus, down to even the little guys like velociraptors and microraptors. They are defined by possessing "sharp, curved teeth, three-toed feet, digits with sharp claws, and long, hollow bones". So lets see how the grundle stacks up.

Sharp curved teeth? Check.

Three toed feet? Check.

Digits with sharp claws? Check.

Long hollow bones? Well there's no way to see if they're hollow, but they sure are long.

The grundle also shares the basic horizontal, bipedal body plan of most if not all theropods, so it absolutely checks out. Grundalychus is a certified theropod. Way to go champ.

Now for the next term. The family "Dromaeosarid". Research tells me that dromaeosars can be easily identified by small to medium size, a raised hooked claw on each inner digit of their feet, and an abundance of feathers. For comparison, here are a few examples of other dromaeosaurs.

And yeah, our boy grundle doesn't match a single one of the qualifications. No hooked toe claw, he's fricken massive, and unless you want to count his weird head protrusions as feathers, he is absolutely nude. Grundalychus is absolutely not a dromaeosaur.

But not all is lost! After some light digging around, I think I found a group that grundalychus might feel a little more at home in. Behold, mapusaurus. Member of the family carcharodontosauridae.

The general head shape and size line up fairly well, and looking at other members of carcharodontosauridae like acrocanthosaurus and giganotosaurus, I feel like grundalychus could slide in pretty easily.

Then again, grundalychus' hands seem to be a lot more developed than most other members of the family, so it might not be a perfect fit. But it's the best one I could find.

Forgot to post here the Giganotosaurus carolinii I drew yesterday.

I don't know how a theropod the size of a school bus would've taken a nap, but I was sleepy while drawing it and decided this beast also deserves to be cozy.

Sweet dreams, Giganotosaurus 💕
