Move the lost river skull inside the lost river ribs... as if it was the last meal.

The title says it...

...how to make the skeleton creepier? Simple - Move the lost river skull inside the lost river ribs

...implying that whatever creature had those ribs last dined on a giant sea-dragon before dying.

What do you all say?

P.S.
This small change in the position of the skull would also hint at an unsolved mystery "What creature was so large that it is the predator of sea-dragons?!"

    The head and the ribs are from the same animal.

    The size of the head and ribs is already ridiculous.

    This wouldn't make sense either because why would an organism need to be so big if everything was so much smaller than it.

    Usually, larger animals don't eat meat either such as whales, they are so big so they can catch large amounts of plankton.

    in conclusion, there wouldn't be any reason why some thing would be so big when everything else is minuscule to it.

    Yeah, this is basically what I'm getting at. One could rationalise a giant semi-invertebrate immobile creature (that perhaps was also a filter feeder) eating some other large creature that wandered in to lay eggs.

    I agree that the skull is a bit dubiously large. I wish we had the ability to reposition and resize it (as well as tweak the behaviour and size of some of the other species)! That way it could suit everyone.

    Note, the original concept art was both more plausible in size and had these guys as separate species:

    Yeah it is a bit too big considering how small the entrance, and especially the surrounding biomes are. It is too narrow to really have creatures so big that they could navigate there. On the other hand though, maybe there will be two skeletons in this biome...it is big enough as I recall...
