I vote for Hatzegopteryx, Magyarosaurus, Balaur, Rhabdodon, and if we can find more information on them and hopefully some skeleton pictures, Telmatosaurus and Struthiosaurus.

And we need to confirm they all lived at relatively the same amount of time, too.

We could also add Theriosuchus.

Definitely. As for Balaur, what lifestyle will it be featured in? I've seen it as a carnivore, a frugivore, an amphibious creature... Personally, I think the latter two would be an interesting aspect to look at it as.

I've only heard about the frugivore thing from Andrea Cau, and apprently it was a thought exercise, so I say we go with carnivore.

The Balaur approaches it's prey, the Jaws theme in the background..............

Lawls. It'd be interesting to see it picking up creatures in the mangroves; baby elasmosaurs, crabs, fish...?

Indeed. Then, suddenly, a shadow falls across it, the music stops..................

Lol. I would like to mention that Balaur isn't very well-adapted for carnivory unlike creatures like Deinonychus; it had stocky limbs, blunt claws, a short body-frame, etc. Maybe a generalist like abear would work best, if we can still include the mangroves idea. :P

Eh, why not? As long as it ends with it getting eaten by a Hatzegopteryx, to establish who the true badass of Hateg is..........
