Got the T-rex for my Bday. Love him. Solid plastic and paint apps.
Those mixed breeds look awesome but i don't really want anything but original dinos, not made up ones.
Yeah, but those names all come from actual words.
- Iguanodon is Greek for "Iguanus tooth"
- Baryonyx is Greek for "heavy claw"
- Suchomimus is Greek for "crocodile mimic."
There is no such word as "Indominus" though. There is the word "dominus" which means "master" in Latin, but as a noun.
e.g. dominus servum salutat = "The master greets the slave."
If you want to say "master" as an adjective, then you're looking for "domitus," and thus its antonym, "indomitus," which is where English gets the word "indomitable" from (e.g. "the indomitable Gauls").
e.g. deo adjuvante indomitus = "We are unconquerable with God's help."
Paulbot's explanation (spoiler tagged in his post) does offer a plausible in-story reason (which I wasn't initially aware of). :o Indominus Transformiaunobtainium! :D
Yeah I knew that they came from meanings. I thought you were saying that it is compulsory for a dinosaur to have 'saurus' at the end of its name. Being the mini-non trained paleontologist I am I got up and nerd raged... lol :o Sorry. :p
Also yes Indominus Rex is a stupid dinosaur name. :eek:
Bought myself a Thrash n Throw T-Rex today. It’s so cool. It’s like a puppet. My Chihuahua and cat didn’t like it though.:D
Got the Fallen Kingdom Stegosaurus and Triceratops on the way too.
My son is really into dinosaurs and now on board with the Jurrasic Park franchise, I’ve been trying to pick up some of the toys for him but I’m really after the Mosasaur, yet I haven’t seen it released anywhere yet, anyone have any ideas where I could pick one up?
BBTS have it on preorder. Haven’t seen it locally.
