Suggestions for this genome?

I'm woking on a therapod hybrid with a Torvasaurus base genome.

weight: 15 tons, length: 58 feet, hip height: 15 feet

Torvosaurus gurneyi: base genome. Contributes large ziphodont teeth, powerful arms, low center of mass.

Taurbosaurus: contributes specialized jaw joint and increases bite force. Reinforces and deepens the skull. contributes leg structure, arctometatarsal, increases leg musculature, and improves respiratory system. also improves sense of smell, vision, hearing, and intelligence.

Taurovenator: strong interlocking neck

Shangtungasaurus: size, weight bearing adaptations, stronger femurs, more rigid spine

Ceratosaurus: makes the teeth even larger proportionally

Dentaneosuchus: tooth serrations

Komodo Dragon: improved blood clotting, anticoagulate venom, iron teeth

african dwarf croc: thick osteoderms on back and underbelly

Blue wildebeest: fast twitch muscles with improved stamina, thermoregulation, mammalian bone marrow

Iberosuchus: sharpey’s fibers for osteoderms

Wild bactrian camel: thermoregulation through nasal heat exchange, more efficient kidneys, tough palette for biting spikey stuff

Elephant seal: Increased hemoglobin, larger spleen

Naked mole rat: Resistance to oxygen deprivation

Intramandibular joints and bite force

How would adding a intramandibular joint to a hybrid affect its bite force? There are some examples of gorgonopsids with high bite forces like Rubidgea. And Herrerasaurus, though not a theropod also had a intramandibular joint, and was similar in body plan to theropods.

Could Therocephalians replace teeth?

some of these have cool teeth, but I can’t find definitive answers on wether or not any species had continuous tooth replacement, or to which degree they could regrow teeth. I know tooth replacement doesn’t matter for combat, but I think it’s still nice to have.

Temnospondyl Hybrid

he will bite you

30 feet long, 3 tons, semi-aquatic

  1. Koolasuchus: base genome
  2. Prionosuchus: size
  3. Frilled Shark: teeth (cause they look gnarly)
  4. Peltobatrachus: osteoderms
  5. Axolotyl: limb regeneration
  6. Siberian Salamander: cold resistance

made this in just over an hour, so the genome is a bit sparse. I’ll take recommendations for additions to the genome

sprawling vs upright vs pillar postures

does anyone know the trade offs of each posture when making a hybrid?

Saurapod hunter hybrid

Im making a hybrid that specializes in hunting large saurapods. not done with the art but its basically a sauropod with a gigantic skull instead of a long neck.

Stats: Weight: 40 tones, Length: 70 feet

Heres the genome:

Purussaurus: base genome, mouth, bite force, metabolism

Allosaurus: teeth

Puertasaurus: Sauropod torso and legs, weight bearing adaptations, and size

Indian Pangolin: scales, tail shape

Aetosaurus: Osteoderms

Gila monster: moves the osteoderms under the skin

Cuvier's beaked whale: Blood oxygen, blubber layer

I might add some more genomes but im happy with these for now. Let me know what yall think.

Concept for bottom dwelling fish that uses its eye muscles to electrocute its prey

It’s also covered in venomous barbs i guess

Gorgonops ursinus

I made a new hybrid that’s meant to be a cross between a Gorogonopsid and a bear.
It’s meant to take advantage of being an omnivore in order to reach larger sizes than pure carnivores. Gorgonops ursinus aka “The Gorgon Bear” is an able to survive in a wide variety of habitats and still hold its own in a fight. It can both lay eggs or give live birth, can adapt to harsh climates and has protective osteoderms around its neck.
here’s the genome: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B26tVB3QIdW8_27kGtsfQXpvW--og46xFEg2KzpkU8M/edit?usp=drivesdk
.
also this is my first time making art for a hybrid so I hope it turned out ok

Spider Resistant Genomes

Any good genomes for spider venom resistance, or do i just die?

Genome for Rib amour

Ichthyostega was a Tetrapodamorph from the devonian with overlapping ribs. Could this be useful for rib armour?

best tooth layout contributor for large omnivore?

Bear

Wild Boar

Hippo

rodent

I think i'm leaning towards either bear or hippo, but rodent could also be interesting if the premolars or some of the molars were adapted into carnassial teeth like on Thylacoleo.

also holy, I didn't realize hippo skulls looked like that.
