Delta the blue Yutyrannus lies in a field of white flowers with the sunset behind him, producing a faint rainbow halo, as he playfully inspects a shiny, metallic beetle resting on a flower in front of him, perhaps mesmerised by Delta's orange crests and eyes

Scylla is blind, albino Allosaurus with especially pink skin, claws and spines. She is mid walk, head lifted up and seemingly eyeing you up. Her eyes are blood red, with black sclera, adding to the intensity of her apparent stare.

A black-and-white baryonyx with orca-like markings stands against a snowy forest. His eyes are glowing green, and water is dripping from is body. His head, with mouth open, is turned towards his body. He looks somewhat threatening, as if you have encountered him during his patrol of the forest.
