If you could transform into a dinosaur...

I would love to be a Giraffatitan (Or in LBT terms, a "longneck") simply because I want to reach new heights.

In case you are wondering what this creature is; a Giraffatitan, meaning "giraffe titan", is a genus of sauropod dinosaurs that lived during the late Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian-Tithonian stages). It was originally named as an African species of Brachiosaurus (B. brancai). Giraffatitan was one of the largest animals known to have walked the earth.

What dino would you like to be?

Either a velociraptor or utahraptor

Easy. Apatosaurus Excelsus. To dumb that down a bit, Apatosaurus, or, a Longneck. Mostly because they're my favorite Dinosaur.

I don't know if I'd use the word transforming for my case, as I think I might want to have been born a dino in this day and age, but go around in disguise as a human, similar to Eric Garcia's rather awesome (and silly) concept. I'd probably pick velociraptor.

Triceratops! Just because it's my favorite.

None. If I lose my mind in the transformation process, that would be equal to suicide. I would transform into a being that is no longer myself mentally. If I keep my mind, I'd be awfully lonely as I wouldn't be able to talk with other dinosaurs.

I would be only willing to transform if I knew other people will transform with me, or that I will encounter friendly sentient dinosaurs at the destination. At this point, the species would be irrelevant. Nobody would be a match for a group of brainy dinosaurs (this, of course, under the condition that I and everybody else had thoroughly studied the life of the host species).

My choice would be Maiasaura or Saurolophus in this scenario.

Hmm not sure. Perhaps a type of theropod.

Tough decision. I'd stick with some bipedal herbivore, because i'm neither agressive, nor do i like to crouch.

I would choose either a Brontosaurus (my childhood favorite), an Iguanodon (my second favorite), or a Therizinosaurus (my recent favorite).

Not sure what I would be. Maybe a Long Neck or something.

Either a Velociraptor, Deinonychus, Utharaptor, a Brachiosaurus or Parasaurolophus... yes, I have a few in mind

Well, since my OCs are partly based off myself, I'd think either a Spinosaurus, because they are simply the biggest, nastiest things around. Or a Pteranodon, simply for the flying bit. I've always dreamed of finding some way to fly without a vehicle.

A Stegosaurus is a pretty intriguing life too. Granted, they were known for being pretty dim, but I'd enjoy that, living a very simple life.

Any dinosaur that can fly!
