Talk:Diatryma

The images in this article are of debatable use...though for once there are no copywrite issues since they are licensed under the GNU. They are of course of the real-world Diatryma, an extinct prehistoric bird. Should we keep them or no? hashtalk 21:33, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * As long as the FR/D&D version of the Diatryma looks identical, I say go for it! (err... I mean "keep it") Or at least keep the one of it running after the leopard -- it does a good job of illustrating what it would actually look like, and even seems like something you might find in an old 1stEdition Monster Manual book. But then again I'm a firm believer that any image instantly makes an article look 10 times more interesting ;-)  22:04, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Forgot to ask... have you already contacted the submitter Raven4185 for where he got them from, or do you know where it is stated that those images been released under the GNU, since we'll need to update the images with copyright tags and source. 22:13, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The picture of the skeleton is an edited image from wikipedia (a stand and supporting stick has been removed), the other picture was taken from a published ornithology lecture by a Doctor David Swanson of the University of South Dakota. hashtalk 16:37, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. I've added source and copyright tags as best I could.  22:55, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Axe beak?
Are axe beaks and diatrymae the same animal? Their descriptions are pretty much indistinguishable, and they seem to be identified in many places, although I still have to find an official source that makes the link.

There are stats for axe beaks at least in 1e and 5e. Would it be OK to fill in these and point out that they're also known as, or sometimes referred to, axe beaks? Sirwhiteout (talk) 17:19, February 23, 2017 (UTC)
