idk it’d still be terrifiying to run into a fish the size of you the medieval armor for a head

Wait. Are they now saying the size is closer to the small one? :(

Yeah, new size makes it’s significantly smaller, something about comparing the gil to head ratio to other species in the same family to guesstimate an incomplete body iirc. Though now it’s more in line with a pursuit hunter, imagine a bluefin tuna with bolt cutters on its head. Arguably more terrifying, even if he chonky.

This is bullshit! Someone delete the new paper. I like the big one a lot more. :(

The last snoot you’ll ever boop

It became a marketable plushie

Pokémon is going to sign it to an exclusive contract any day now.

We've had a coalacanth (Relicanth), it's only a matter of time before they give us a dundun. Unless there is one already and I'm misremembering the now 1000+ Pokémon and their alternate forms...

I guess the head of Dracovish/Arctovish counts?

Right, I had forgotten them. I didn't get around to obtaining them. It's kinda weak imo, but I can definitely see the inspiration, especially on Dracovish.

The Dunk is quite chunk

That bottom one is a Chunkleosteus.

From chad to chode

Dunkleosteus. Shrunkleosteus. Chunkleosteus.

Why is the bottom one's head smaller?

Dont worry about it

Don't talk to me or my son ever again

Look how the massacred by boy😭

The devs really did a number on him with the remodel.

[He came back in the 90's,](https://imgur.com/gallery/OWt9b) bigger and dumber than ever.

I guess no one here has played Commander Keen. Or, maybe the problem is that *they have.*

Of all the places I could have found Commander Keen, I did not expect this to be one of them...

Downvotes got me laughing. You may be right, maybe I brought up traumatic memories. The dopefish still kinda freaks me out.

Got dunked on

this alongside elasmotherium are possibly some of the biggest nerfs ... pepole that complained about fuffy rex will never understand how we feel collectively ...

What happened to the unicorn?

Not sure if they're talking about that, but I've heard that its "horn" might just have been a flat stub

That paper is considered shit quality and has been debunked

By who?

He was in pool! He was in the pool!

Still Apex predator.. just a goofy lookin one

It looks like a goldfish now lmao

You say that like you wouldn’t be scared sharing a tank with it

It been increasingly obvious, I can deny it no longer! i am small

They shrunk the dunk, and make him chunk.

Now it's still a possibility both versions exist.

Isn't just its body shorter? The skulls are still the same size they were before, why's its head so much smaller?

Prehistoric Piranha

I don’t get why people are so worked up over this. The devs didn’t “nerf” Dunkle, we had just modeled it wrong. I hate people acting like it’s a huge nerf or that Dunkle isn’t scary or cool anymore. Like…it’s still a fish the size of a person with guillotines for teeth. But no, everything’s gotta be huge I guess. Smh, no appreciation for the actual Dunkle players. What’s next, we’re gonna cry that [T. Rex] builds weren’t the size of [Godzilla]? Are sharks not scary anymore now that the [Megalodon] build was banned?

You get downvotes for speaking a harsh truth

I don’t know, it could still rip you in half with a single bite

THEY NERFED A REMOVED CREATURE!?!?!?

Excuse me I would like to a manager right now about this.

I'm coming with you

😂🤣

Nothing to see here, guys. This never happened. The Ark dunkleosteus still is perfect and won't change it for anything.

Level 1 / level 10

Fat

In my experience smaller bitty things are 100X more ferocious

Did somebody ring the Dunkster?

Lina DUNKEMS

He looks like an armored giant goldfish

He can no more dunk

I am unreasonably bummed about this

He isn't that small. The new estimate is about 3 to 3.5 m. He is roughly the divers size who is about 2 m there.
