Description
Decided to do TyrantisTerror ‘s 30 Day Retrosaur Challenge . I can’t say for certain that I’ll finish it in thirty days, but I’m sure I’ll at least complete it.
Day One - Primitive Retrosaur: Herbivore
The Lutusaur (mud lizard) of the late Triassic preferred wallowing in the rivers by day and eating plant life on the shores by night. It was highly territorial and would become aggressive if encroached upon, and in general was very similar to a hippo.

I like this guy. Was he inspired by Rhedosaurus from the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms?

Are all of these based on real animals. Just inaccurate?

These all remind me of those old toys made by Imperial.

Awesome. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but for some reason he reminds me of the Rhedosaurus from The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.

Thanks. That's definitely an inspiration. That and early depictions of Hylaeosaurus.
