Frontiers | Cranial anatomy of the baurioid therocephalian Choerosaurus dejageri with comments on secondary palate convergence in therocephalians and cynodonts
Permian members of the therocephalian clade Baurioidea remain much more poorly known than the extremely mammal-like Triassic representatives. Here, we descri...

The basilisk, called vanyu by Kaimerans of the Free-States, is a small therocephalian dragon found in much of the temperate range of the known world. Like their legendary namesake, they are rivals to mustelids that compete for the same small rodent prey.

Hypothetical mating postures in two therocephalian dinosaurs. The first is a pair of mating Polacanthus, an ankylosaur from Early Cretaceous Europe
The second is a drawing of a mating pair of Stegosaurus from Late Jurassic North America

thanks to @wargonopsid.bsky.social for drawing this art of nochnitsa, a small, basal gorgonopsian from russia that was likely nocturnal 🌙 unlike its later relatives, nochnitsa was a mesopredator, with the ecosystem's niche of apex predator occupied by the therocephalian gorynychus

From Middle to Late Permian Karoo Formation, South Africa, "wolf crocodile" is a genus of middle sized therocephalian known from complete skulls and a few postcranial remains. It shows double canines,likely the result of being fossilized mid tooth replacement

From Late Permian South Africa and China, "Chambers' good animal" was a small therocephalian therapsid known from skull material. It's canines contain grooves that have (among other things) been suggested to hint at it being venomous

the top synapsid predator in early triassic south africa was the therocephalian moschorhinus, whose broad and incredibly robust skull was reminiscent of the rubidgeine gorgonopsians

early gorgonopsians were not apex predators like inostrancevia; they were mostly small to medium-sized, with taxa like nochnitsa and viatkogorgon being nocturnal mesopredators that shared their ecosystems with much larger carnivores

Here's a #DnD debate. Are kobolds reptiles or dogs?
In my world they are both! Inspired by this very debate, I think of them as bipedal therocephalians (see image), which are an evolutionary bridge between reptiles and mammals. Bonus: there's evidence that some of them may have been venemous.

Made a silly creature real quick with a mouse in paint
Done from memory, meant to be like a therocephalian, though the tail is not right at all after I checked xd.

Hi all, this is my first post on this website! Here are examples of my works. I love drawing theropods, as I said in profile description, but these are not only subjects I depict. I work both in traditional and digital media (but these pics are mostly tradtitional).

Happy #FossilFriday! I’m wrapping up collections visit to UCMP in Berkeley, where I’ve been looking at specimens like this one, the holotype of Mirotenthes digitipes, which is a therocephalian. Therocephalians are one of the latest groups closely related to mammals while still predating them! ⚒️🧪🦊

Yeah, I think that's the official setting description post WotC. Mystara (the BECMI setting) has them as goblinoids.
In my variation, however, they're therocephalian like adaptations of that goblinoids line.

speculative early marine therapsid doodle
i was wondering if there were any permian therapsids that evolved to an aquatic lifestyle & i couldnt find anything
i tried to imagine how an early transitional form like that would look like, taking inspiration from therocephalian & early cetacean body plan
