    Ok. It's Megawhaitsia patrichae, a giant therapsid (estimated to be about as big as a tiger), possibly a therocephalian and known from a jaw found in Russia; it seems that the thing was venomous and filled the niche of gorgonopsids as top predator, in a place where gorgonopsids seemingly didn´t exist.

    As nobody got the right answer I think Adam does another one. But I leave that up to you guys.

    An easy one.

    A skull of this creature was thought for many years to be the skull of an actual dragon.

    Not fair, I never saw any Godzilla movies except for Roland Emmerich's...

    I do remember that some of his enemies looked like/were based on Pteranodon and Ankylosaurus... any of these?

    Let's see... this dinosaur was once said to have been semi-aquatic. When threatened at least.
