As a reptile, your creature has three possible postures: quadruped (the initial posture), hunched (velociraptor-like) and biped (human-like). Quadrupeds are strong but slow; bipeds are agile and jump well, but struggle reaching the ground; the hunched is a middle ground. Pick whatever you like the best, but note the posture has some deep impact on your available body parts: | As a reptile, your creature has three possible postures: quadruped (the initial posture), hunched (velociraptor-like) and biped (human-like).

The quadruped is slow and with those best armors becomes even slower. So if playing as a quadruped, wait a bit until you get speed from other parts before upgrading your armor. | ||
* There are two sets of jaws: | * There are two sets of jaws: Dino-like (stronger bite) and bird-like (bonus agility). For most part the bird-like jaws aren't worth the trouble, unless you're playing with a really slow quadruped. And since you start this chapter as one such, the ''Ptenodon's Jaws'' are a good choice to evolve first. Still, at the end of the chapter you'll probably want the ''Tyrasaurus Jaws'' for the highest possible biting strength. | ||
* The body size is again a choice between a hard but slow tank and a fast but fragile glass cannon. If unsure, go with a large body. | * The body size is again a choice between a hard but slow tank and a fast but fragile glass cannon. If unsure, go with a large body. | ||

They're best used to compensate something your creature lacks. | ||
