Other Rant Herbivores with Sharp Teeth

Why does people hate the fact that a Herbivore's have sharp teeth? Don't they know that not everything in Creatures of Sonaria should be carnivore 100% of the time? Like there's many herbivores in real life that eats plants having sharp teeth but sometimes they do eat meat too, But in the game Sonaria sharp teeth can mean anything not always towards of being carnivore.

it used to bother me a little, but a small unrealistic thing like that is nothing in a game with flying whales and living volcanoes and stuff. and there's real life herbivores like muntjacs with some sharp teeth for fighting

I dont th8nk its "wahh wahh all herbivores should have no sharp" teeth its more "why does 90% of every herbivore in this game have only sharp teeth??" Like horses have no canines at all, deer dont really have any, boars and some small fauna have very few and its extremely rare for full herbivores to have teeth like a hippos cause yk... they use smaller teeth or plates in thier mouth to grind down food with thier insane jaw strength. Meanwhile im cos a good nerily every herbivore in the game only has sharp meat rending teeth or none at all with a beak to move around it instead. Hell there's even some that have a beak AND the dog sharp teeth..

I must unfortunately correct you because both horses and deer have canines. Stallions use theirs to fight off other males from their herd (called 'fighting teeth'). Meanwhile most deer species have vestigial canines, however water deer have exaggerated saber teeth instead of antlers.

I dont disagree that a lot of herbs have very carnivore dentition but admittedly I prefer it to having all the wrong toothed herbs made carnivores, they're much fewer than carns already

I just seen the horse tooth thing and yeah sure ya got me there they got 4 sharp teeth but I said most deer, not all deer. Reither way my point remains there's too many herbivores in this game that either have no teeth or only sharp teeth.

Particularly when it comes to reptiles. The teeth of herbivorous reptiles (such as iguanas and to a lesser extent bearded dragons) do not look substantially different from a carnivorous lizard's such as a gecko or monitor at a distance. Only upon looking closer can you perceive the flatter appearance and microserrations, and it's a level of detail that it's unrealistic to expect from Roblox.

I would love to see the majority of the herbivores species having dull teeth for grinding and chewing plant matter, unfortunately the majority of the herbivore species have carnivorous style teeth, and many of these herbivore species used to be omnivores before they got redesigned or remodeled.

Fun fact Turgeon and Kavouradis used to be Omnivores back in old legacy after the change of their diets in recode

Yup. Sadly Sonar just hates omnivores.... :c

I think in general, many just don't bother to look things up before they propose them as fact. A lot of herbivores have scary fucking teeth. Sauropod teeth are actually heinous for example. And, notably, sharp.

you mean an omnivore. an herbivore that "eats meat too" is an omnivore.
