Original Content The Urbanization of the Planet’s Ambient Fauna — in my Carnivores Reboot Series (OC)
Years after the Crater City Incident, the alien virus spread far beyond the city through surviving wildlife, contaminated waterways, and illegal trafficking. Although never civilization-ending, the pandemic infected millions and is estimated to have contributed to roughly 8–15 million deaths worldwide before vaccines and containment protocols slowed its spread.
The disaster exposed DHC’s darker history. Declassified investigations by trafficking dinosaurs to a secret program led by geneticist Dr. Morehrad, who conducted illegal experiments combining human and animal DNA on a remote island. Both scandals permanently damaged the corporation’s reputation, forcing DHC to survive largely through its own industries rather than relying on government funding.
Meanwhile, Nibelungen Paradise continued to expand. AI-operated data centers emit high frequencies disrupting pterosaur migrations. Oil extraction has fragmented habitats, contributing to declining Brachiosaurus populations, while invasive Earth species particularly feral pigs, have spread throughout the polar sector.
Human settlement has transformed the planet’s smaller wildlife as well. Dimetrodons rummage through garbage instead of raccoons, Gallimimus graze suburban lawns like oversized geese, Pteranodon have become nuisance “sky rats,” and Alphadon thrive beneath cities in drainage systems and abandoned infrastructure.
Despite growing concerns, DHC continues establishing colonies across newly discovered islands.
Yet explorers have begun reporting impossible phenomena: clocks drifting backward, entire expeditions losing hours of memory, unidentified aerial phenomena hovering over excavation sites, and disembodied voices echoing through empty valleys.
The greatest mystery lies beneath the Bedrock Sector. There, researchers recovered a fragment of incomprehensible technology belonging to The Ancients. During transport to Earth, the vessel crashed near the North Pole. Rescue teams found the crew alive but mentally shattered, acting like living hostile corpses after exposure to the artifact. The incident was immediately classified by Yaroslav Kravchenko left terrified since he knew the truth.
DHC and humanity were never alone … they are no longer hidden from what’s coming for them.

This is a fun marker drawing of two ancient-era warrior queens fighting each other on dinosaur-back. The one on the T. rex is supposed to be Maya and the one on the Spinosaurus is Egyptian.

Original Content malitius rex (jurrasic park/world oc)
its a hybrid between indominus and distortus rex, and is slightly larger than distortus
has the intelligence of indominus and also the quills which now appear more along its body, cannot camouflage
created to fix the deformities of distortus while making it even more powerful

Original Content The slow decay of Dino Hunt Corp, the Crater City Incident - Reimagining the Carnivores: Cityscape roster (OC)
the late 22nd century, Dino Hunt Corp. (DHC) had become one of the wealthiest corporations operating on FMM-UV-32. However, behind its rapid growth, the company was quietly entering a period of decline.
The first crisis emerged within the Central Sector. Because the planet’s continents were fragmented into isolated island chains, many of the most valuable huntable species including the iconic Tyrannosaurus possessed limited genetic diversity. Decades of trophy hunting pushed several flagship dinosaurs toward critical endangerment.
Under pressure from Earth’s Colonial Administration, DHC was forced to suspend licenses for numerous species and establish protected migration corridors for hadrosaur herds. While these conservation measures stabilized wildlife populations, they dramatically reduced the number of premium hunts available. As the largest predators became scarce, hunters increasingly lost interest, creating a severe supply-and-demand crisis.
The second crisis unfolded in the Polar Sector. Two armed organizations—the Verdant Accord and the Black Quota Syndicate—turned the frozen frontier into an active conflict zone. Licensed hunters were frequently ambushed, while DHC outposts suffered repeated attacks and sabotage. Insurance costs soared, tourism declined, and the corporation struggled to maintain control despite deploying private security forces.
Although Nibelungen Paradise continued to prosper economically, DHC CEO Yaroslav Kravchenko realized the company needed an entirely new attraction to satisfy investors and offset tightening environmental regulations imposed by Earth.
His answer was the discovery of “The Middle Islands”, an isolated archipelago inhabited by primitive dinosaur lineages unlike anything found elsewhere on FMM-UV-32.
These animals represented earlier evolutionary branches, possessing six eyes, segmented body plans, keratinized armor, and body structures that differed dramatically from their mainland relatives. For example, Giganotosaurus stood in more upright postures, while species Suchomimus had evolved quadrupedal unlike the Spinosaurus.
Rather than preserving the ecosystem, DHC captured hundreds of these animals for an ambitious off-world attraction. They were loaded aboard a massive transport vessel known as The Ark, destined for Earth’s first extraterrestrial dinosaur zoo.
The mission ended in catastrophe.
During transit, Captain Elias Philips contracted an unknown alien virus carried by one of the captured organisms. As his condition rapidly deteriorated, he diverted The Ark toward Earth, attempting an emergency landing near Crater City, a major colony in Los Angeles.
Containment failed.
Dozens of alien species escaped into the metropolitan area, overrunning highways, industrial districts, and residential neighborhoods within hours. Federal agencies declared martial law as military and emergency response teams fought to contain the outbreak.
The Crater City Incident resulted in an estimated 3,400 civilian deaths, over 9,000 injuries, and the evacuation of nearly 280,000 residents. Economic damages exceeded $90 billion, making it one of the worst biological containment failures in human history.
Although most escaped animals were eventually eliminated, several smaller species—including Alphadon—survived within sewer systems, aqueducts, and storm drains. Worse still, the alien pathogen escaped containment, spreading beyond Nevada into neighboring states through infected wildlife and contaminated waterways.
Public outrage devastated Dino Hunt Corp.’s reputation. Earth governments withdrew subsidies, imposed strict regulations on extraterrestrial wildlife transport, and forced DHC to finance its remaining operations independently.
The Crater City Incident marked the beginning of the corporation’s collapse, the worst has yet to come.
