Talk:Deinonychus

4e name
I believe that "scytheclaw drake" was 4e's name for this creature, and would like to add the name and stats (not necessarily the lore) to this article. I base my conclusion on Deinonychus being only one of two scythe-clawed dinosaurs to have stats for both 3e and 5e, and the other, Velociraptor is too big (it's only tiny) to be the medium-sized scytheclaw. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 18:57, 31 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Velociraptor sizes have fluctuated because of Jurassic Park, with them being Medium in 2e and Tiny in 5e, so that may not be the best way of distinguishing them. As you pointed the similarity of these 4e drakes with the Eberron dinosaur names, the clawfoot (velociraptor) may still be candidate, though that's been Medium in 3e, 4e, and 5e, likely as a legacy lore thing. ~ BadCatMan (talk) 00:48, 1 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hmm, very true, I was initially inclined to believe the scytheclaw was Velociraptor because of it being the most famous scythe-clawed dino by a good bit, and the similar Eberron name cinches it. Should Scytheclaw drake be given as an alternative name for Velociraptor, then? --SilverTiger12 (talk) 14:22, 1 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Yeah, since you've been doing it with the other dino-drakes, you might as well continue. ~ BadCatMan (talk) 15:24, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
