Azhdarchid Plan

Before beginning to model Cryodrakon, I will gather as much information as I can find about how it looked and moved. I will use this information to make a “design document” for the creature, a living document which can be updated when new information replaces old.

No complete skeletal remains have been found for Cryodrakon, however it is said to have been very similar to Quetzalcoatlus by Palaeontologists. A paper written by Mark Paul Witton and Darren Naish, which details known information about the functional morphology of Azhdarchids can be found here.
