Description

Had another dream this afternoon about brachiating arboreal ceratopsians converging on primates, similar I guess to the top panel under

Welcome to the Jungle by thomastapir

The best part was that they lived in a mole-rat-style caste-based hive society dominated by a single breeding female, which my subconscious probably ripped off from Dixon's Gestalt (www.sivatherium.narod.ru/libra…).  The only individual I actually "saw" in the dream was the "Queen," who was larger and longer-bodied than the other hive members.  They were apparently converging on mammals in that the Queen nursed her subjects on multiple breasts; I had the impression of control and distribution of the hive's sole food source as a form of social dominance.

They weren't QUITE this anthropomorphic--like, I don't think they had true pectoral muscles like this.  There was also a vaguely iguana-like quality in skin texture and decorative scale type that I didn't really place emphasis on here (my priority was nailing the broad body form).  Musing on the more anthro morphology, though, I started wondering if the Triceraton Republic was actually a matriarchy ruled by a biologically predestined Queen or Empress...?
