Where the Wild Things Are – A movie on creatures - 3
News
oi-Staff
Most
of
the
creatures
in
the
film
are
vaguely
mammalian,
from
the
panther-like
Thanator
to
the
obviously
equine
Direhorse,
but
at
least
two
creatures
have
a
slightly
more
reptilian
aspect.
Both,
the
Mountain
Banshee
and
the
Great
Leonopteryx,
are
brightly-colored
flying
creatures
that
are
a
mix
of
different
animals
all
stuck
together
as
if
some
spare
parts
were
just
lying
around.
In
general,
though,
they
look
like
variations
of
the
flying
pterosaurs
that
thrived
alongside
the
dinosaurs,
and
some
prehistoric
animals
were
even
taken
for
inspiration
in
their
design.
