Description
Domestication, in conjunction with genetic engineering, can result in very unique pressures on any organism that can be applied to them. This is evidenced in the lumpy titan (Abrachiosaurus lipopoda), a type of sauropods genetically modified by a group of terraformed machines that came to earth 65 million years ago and that converted much of the planet into an urban world since that time. These machines, as part of their programming, had begun to modify a certain part of the fauna, so that they could fulfill important roles for the supposed inhabitants who sent these machines and that never appeared, as food, material and entertainment. The Lumpy titan seems to have been created with entertainment purposes, being exotic pets and rather docile, in addition to some control of climbing plants that enter by the edges of the walls in the gardens or any place with high wild vegetation. This species has a varied height of between 4 to 6 meters, weighing only 400 kg, its head is exaggeratedly small in proportion to other sauropods, as well as its limbs that are but stumps used for mobilizing slowly on the floors and ramps of gardens and recreational buildings in South Africa territories. Its population and reproduction is monitored by the machines, always watching the number of individuals to avoid any overpopulation. Normally they reproduce between seasons, being directed by machines towards special areas for copulation and nesting.
The females do not put a number greater than 20 eggs, which are incubated for a period of 4 months until the offspring hatch, which soon reach the maximum size in less than 6 months which the life expectancy of an individual is around 50 years.

When I first saw the thumbnail I thought this was going to be JohnFaa's Ouranobataar loxodon.

Not really a project, but a concept about a urban world on earth created by an alien machine during the K/Pg event.

This creature looks awesome and could be useful. I wish these animals are real, helping us by controlling climbing plants in our cities of USA.

Interesting, very interesting, I wonder what happened to the would be colonists?

Probably they became extinct before they would reach the planet.

True, still looks amazing though!

Amazing! So what's the story behind them? Ancient robots selectively bred sauropods into these animals?

Interesting. Any particular reason why or just because?

It's a game with a bit of similar backstory. You have an alien planet with ''dinosaurs'' on it and robots come to make it ready for humans but the humans never arrive because their ship crashed and you're the only known surivivor.

Ah, that make sense...
So, yeah, is similar, just in this case there is not humans involved, just aliens.

The idea of ''dinosaurs'' evolving on an alien planet is pretty farfetched too

This is a very obscure but very entertaining idea
