We already have Terrorbirds (Tallstriders) so can't put them there.
If ever we get fish/sharks I WANT THIS! It's called a Helicoprion. Yes that is a bottom jaw.
Tanky Doedicurus
give anyone a good whack with that tail they would feel it.
Montealtosuchus Arrudacamposi or the "crocodile dog" ran really fast and had legs well more like a dog!
This beauty could run on 2 legs as well as 4. His name is Kaprosuchus saharicus. This guy would go after you with claws and teeth.
Dimetrodon is a mammal-like reptile (NOT A DINOSAUR) they were really cool and I think should be pets.
Gorgonopsia wasn't that big but was still cool, his name means 'Gorgon Face" and had one of the 1st ear bones.
Almost forgot about Arthropleura, I thought this picture was funny and yes they were that big (or bigger)

I think this is more of a IRL thread, though I'd agree that most of these ancient monsters would make great Hunter Pets as well.

Eh, I like the twisty jaw and the spiny fins, that just looks too much like a normal everyday shark.
Most people seem to agree that they look more like this though, with a narrow top jaw

My favorite prehistoric shark has to be this guy, Chlamydoselachus anguineus.
And no, that is not a photoshop or made image, this is a real picture taken at Japan's Awashima Marine Park on Sunday, January 21, 2007. This guy is my favorite because he is still hanging in there.

Ooo, wonder if they could be put in the same aquarium as the trilobytes?
Edit: and I'll be needing one of those Arthropleura, too!

Tyrannosaurus rex, of course!
They're just so coo-worthy with the tiny arms and two fingers. <3 And I just genrally like their shape better than the other theropods.
I have this figurine sitting on my desk. <3
And I too would also love a microraptor <3
