That's right, not only was the original too inaccurate for my tastes, but the revision hasn't aged well either. It had all sorts of questionable anatomy, most notably that incredibly poorly designed skull. So now, here is my most exhaustively researched Pokemon skeleton to date, which forced me to research something other than archosaurs for a change. As usual, I was adamant that the anatomy must be realistic without going off-model. I am confident that this is the most accurate Charizard skeleton on the internet.





Some noteworthy anatomical traits as compared to the previous:

- Smaller bone core for claws

- EDIT: Wing stabilizer is now a styliform element



- Skull based on varanids rather than archosaurs, with proper fenestrae- Pelvis based on varanids rather than archosaurs, but with heavy modifications for bipedal muscle attachment.- Deeper sternum for improved muscle attachment- Wing’s wrist and shoulder joints based on pterosaurs rather than birds- Coracoid splits in two to accommodate both shoulder joints- Proper reptilian digit numbering- Number and placement of ribs is more sensible- Improved vertebra shape
