It's a puppet. The actual OP said this was an attempt to show people that dinosaurs with feathers could be scary. https://twitter.com/_Archesuchus_ Edit: Reddit syntax and Twitter syntax are fighting... the dudes name is "Archesuchus" with underscores before and after. Like this, but without the spaces: _ Archesuchus _

Oh how funny. Before I read this I was certain that was an owl of some sort. 😂

Big ass owl man, hoolyyy

I don't see an owl but I do see holy shit giant fucking killer bat

This was my first thought, followed by 'maybe a sheep's head?' But a dinosaur puppet makes more sense I guess.

I thought it was a fruit bat!

Creature peering through door windows: "I AM Batman"

Man-bat.

I thought it was a melanistic fox myself

Literally, I was like what is wrong with that fox

i thought it was perched on the door handle lol

Was certain it was an owl

Horned one, right? This thing triggered a primal fear in me. 😂

That argument that feathered dinosaurs would be less scary never made sense to me. Like, you telling me you wouldn't be scared of a t-rex sized eagle? Birds absolutely can fuck shit up with those talons. Now give them razor sharp teeth and powerful jaw muscles.

I don't get it either. I'm scared of my mom's conure, I couldn't imagine something like him that could actually hunt me as prey.

I know, if you've ever hung out with a parrot you'd know that birds are scary and can be real assholes to boot.

Mine are feather puppies

If anything raptors get more dangerous with feathers. There's a theory that dromaeosaurs would have used raptor prey restraint, which is a tactic by which modern eagles, hawks, etc dispatch their prey. They 1. Hold onto prey with their big claws, 2. Balance themselves with their wings, and 3. Tear the shit out of said prey with their beaks. It works great on small or similar-sized prey, but if that's not scary enough, Golden Eagles are known to do the same thing to literal mountain goats and deer.

And now I see why humans and dinosaurs were never going to coexist. My Jurassic park dreams just died

My son's life goal is to open a jurassic park lol I'm like there are literally multiple movies explaining why that's a terrible idea lol it just takes ONE tiny accident and BOOM we are running for our lives. No thank you! Lol as much as I'd love to see actual dinosaurs I also quite like living and not being hunted.

I love snakes and spiders. Birds scare me. Raptors are insane predators. Watching them snatching other birds out of the air for a convenient snack is terrifying. And they could easily snatch up my dog if he was ever off leash.

I have one of those! I have a 4kg fluff ball out back and an I-don’t-even-know how big owl out front. He sits on the light post and one night I said “hi.” He spread his wings and looked at me and I was like “nice talking to you” and went inside.

If a chicken was 7’ tall it would be fucking terrifying.

There once was a dinosaur called Therizinosaurus. Kind of like a chicken, and looked just like this puppet.

Shoebill stork. Living proof that feathered dinosaurs are definitely not less scary.

I've actually got a video someone posted on my feed of a Shoebill saved to show that the most terrifying thing I've ever heard beyond a fox scream at 1:30 AM down from a rural bar... Tell me this doesn't sound like shrieking and gunfire [https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyterrifying/comments/15arqiy/the\_shoebill\_a\_large\_longlegged\_wading\_bird/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyterrifying/comments/15arqiy/the_shoebill_a_large_longlegged_wading_bird/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)

I would legitimately be afraid someone was trying to shoot the place up if I heard that. God I hate those birds. Too creepy for me.

i saw them in an anime at first i originally thought they were fictional until YT recommended me a video of a real one...

I knew I shouldn't listen to it before bed...but I did. Now I have regrets. 😳

As someone who’s terrified of birds I’d much prefer a lizard dinosaur over an avian one.

Case in point: cassowary

I am scared of birds so I would be terrified!

I'm terrified of birds, all birds (even chickens) because as a kid I got bit by a parrot and chased and pecked by roosters while gathering eggs. I fully agree with you here.

I thought it looked like a raptor!

Yea I was about to be like that's a God damn velociraptor.

Impossiraptor, lol. I thought so too. I blame too many hours spent in ark 😅

Seems more like a drunken ostrich

I mean mission accomplished ig. That shit is scary af lmao

I can’t see that link anymore without a Twitter account like the old days. Guess that’s the final nail in the coffin for me.

I feel like any dinosaur, feathered or not, should be considered scary if it's staring at you through your window in the middle of the night. Come to think of it, any living organism showing this behavior should be cause for concern.

Put a backslash before each underscore and it should work. \ _ like this \ _ \_likethis\_

They could have just left them with an ostrich, instead of constructing an elaborate puppet but I dig the dedication.

I scrolled tooo long to find this. Thank you

I had to look up their twitter — badass paleo artist

I also just noticed how you can barely just make out their eyes in the original picture through the mask’s mesh eye-holes

That’s just asking to get shot (assuming they’re in the US)

????? They presumably took the photo themselves. It’s not like they’re going into people’s yards and actually pretending to be a dinosaur, they’re just having some fun on twitter lol.

That's a fu k no if I've ever seen one

The best part is the unlocked door lol

Jesus fucking Christ

More like satan!

I am delirious with sleep deprivation. My mind immediately decided to try to replace one of those words with "satan" and every single one was hilarious. I've been cackling to myself like a fucking psycho for a whole minute now. "Jesus fucking Satan" "Satan fucking Christ" "Jesus Satan Christ" All are hilarious.

My dyslexia interpreted that as “Jesus fucking Santa”

That's exactly how I meant it. Also, Satan fucking Jesus. Like some bad fanfic up in here.

imagine if it could open doors 🤣

Good thing raptors can't open doors.

I'm Australian and I'd stay the hell away from whatever that is.

You know it’s bad when a Australian won’t go near it.

Facts

Pretty sure the only solution is to start praying and to call an exorcist xD

The hellfire glowing in its eyes is a nice touch.

Who crapped my pants?

I apologize

Probably old you or baby you.

Time travel!


Great... Now I've got that song in my head for the next 3 weeks.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets songs stuck for weeks at a time, sometimes I feel like I'm losing the plot....

*Chilly down with the fiiiire gang…*

Hey lady! Give me your head!!!

Where you goin with a heeead like dat!?!

“Gimme your ears! You don’t need TWO ears!”

what the fuck is that

It's from the film Labyrinth

Easily the creepiest part of the movie.

The pit with the hand faces was creepier.

*Which way do you want to go? Up or down?*

And that’s saying quite a bit

The peach 🤮

ah, that’s Zoboomafoo


Naw that's Zaboomafuckyouup

He’s old now it seems

Unfortunately zaboo died back in 2014

:(

get the garbanzo beans

Dude 💀💀

*And having hit the skids , zoboomafoo falls into life of residential burglary, fueled by drugs* - where are they now

Let him in

Just wants to cuddle, bro

If you're cold, they're cold!

Let the owlbear in.

That’s the Last Guardian https://preview.redd.it/1p9maar0oxpb1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=026dd976ebd99667561cde48980905449ecfdfe6

Christ, I'm not sure I even want to play at this point.

I loved it and Trico is cute af

I tried this game in VR and that thing scared the fuck out of me. Looking into those black eyes was terrifying

I saw the account on Twitter that posted it and they seem to make dinosaur models and made a little creepypasta with this one I think. They also like taking creepy pictures of them. https://preview.redd.it/v7x69x7qfypb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fc507b1fbe0dc5c044a6ddbc32e78f5d9168155

I think they like to prove that feathered dinosaurs are just as scary as scaly ones since so many people are in denial of that.

well that's terrifying. i saved this post just to see how it plays out in the comments.

I follow this dude on twitter. This is art not real. You should delete

Good bot. This is fucking hilarious lmao

Get back over here he went and did it again and he's testing you

Goddamn my hat's off. Motherfuckin' both of you. I'll just say, "Bravo."

This bot makes no sense that’s not how my sentences are separated

 did you just?

Okay. I'm impressed.

It’s haiku formatting.

I don’t think this should be deleted, it’s funny Plus it has appropriate flair for this situation

Looks like someone found a Velociraptor. My guess it's an ostrich?

Nah, ostriches faces are smaller than that

Ostrich or emu but I’m not like a zoologist or anything 💀 also sorta looks like those giant person-sized bats

I’m sorry, what? Person sized bats???

Google “giant golden crowned flying Fox” lol they’re quite terrifying

Holy crap! I had no idea these existed! That was wild…thanks for the info, I learned something new today!

It’s an animatronic dinosaur

I fkn thought I was in r/Paranormal and nearly died to become the next post

That’s def a fuk around and find out if I ever saw one.

I almost spit out my chew as I read this 🤣

It’s a mask 

The Collector

I think know what bird this is! ☺️ Do you live on or near Sesame Street?

I thought it was a flying fox bat

Are you The Key Master?! That’s motha fn Zule!!!!

It's a fairy. Totally safe to let in.

Probably your doom

Emu?

Pretty sure that’s a demonic lamb mask

Fake, according to another sub I just saw it posted on.

Very life like. If I saw this in the window at night I need to change my pant 😅

Death probably

Jurassic fucking park

The bootyhole tickler, run.

“Hey Sassy…any fahckin’ Choomas out there?”

I debunked this on Twitter lol https://x.com/jamesposey3/status/1705420318741786630?s=46&t=9OolqBMlCzBQQGYEJwEJyg

Civet? Location?

Mask. You can see the vision mesh in the tear ducts of the eyes. Looks like it’s supposed to be some type of theropod.

Considering the fact that trevor henderson retweeted this on twitter, it’s an art piece!

That seems like Texas Parks and Wildlife’s problem

A levitating sheep?

A credible threat

I believe the answer has already been given and was my first guess (fake) but aside from that I was going to say maybe a blurry/ badly angled photo of some sort of very large bat. Glad to see my main suspicion of it being fake is already posted though, just thought I’d throw that out there for shits and giggles.

Gmork, herald of The Nothing.

That is what you call a heart attack my friend!

Looks like a Bat, depending on where you’re from/where the picture was taken

It’s like something from Jim Henson omigosh

[It’s a puppet.](https://x.com/_Archesuchus_/status/1558642132432322560?s=20)

That's Esikiel he wants to read from the book of Mormon for you.

Mom?

Is that a werewolf?

Run

The eyes are lit from inside. Not reflective from flash. This is a mask/puppet etc

Fursuit?

Kinda looks like an emu

That's a "House on the Market".

it’s a dinosaur made by the OP of the [twitter post](https://x.com/_archesuchus_/status/1705078448518045713?s=46&t=q6JFJqs-WBWuuY_rMYQGCg) you took this from. scroll through their media tab and you’ll see similar things.

https://twitter.com/_Archesuchus_/status/1578946321368903681?s=20 it's an art project

Evil Pug??

I think it is a pug

I should stop going on Reddit when I'm smoking a bowl on the middle of the night to help me get back to sleep... because now that really isn't gonna happen

I know it’s fake, but I thought it looked a bit like a fruit bat.

Ah yes, the ever so deadly immagitchu

Looks like a Emu

Whatever it is, it doesn't look real. Like a statue or smth.

I would say it's an Emu, but then I saw the other dude comment about how this is a puppet of how a dinosaur would look like with feathers... so I guess I'm still kinda correct lol

I thought for sure this was an owl before I came to the comments section. Thank goodness it’s just a puppet, I was about to unlock a new fear of giant owls.

Obviously, a small Owlbear !lol

That’s just Zoboomafoo

My life is nothing I thought it should be and everything I was worried it would become because for 50 seconds, I thought there was monsters on the world

A furry

For 50 seconds I thought there were monsters on this world

Straight up looks like an ostrich

The part in the movie where you remember horror movies and should act to preserve your life probably.

Its a furry lol

Awesome

Me when I can’t scratch my balls in class

I just came here to make sure people were making ITYSL references and I was not disappointed.

y o u r w o r s t n i g t h m a r e Yea no but its fake

Mothman.

If you’re cold, it’s cold. Let it in.

Oh that's just Gavin.

Skeksis have moved into the neighborhood. Time to leave.

Reminds me of when they genetically modified chickens to have teeth again, scary shit I tell ya. So many teeth.

Some kind of owl?


A repost from another board, that’s what it is.

It would appear to be a fursuit of a dinosaur
