what's PixelSaurus?

PixelSaurus is a family-friendly series of pixel art dinosaur NFT collections on Ethereum, featuring handmade, non-generative designs across multiple drops like PixelSaurus Claw (Velociraptors with 8 rarity levels, 14 claw types, and 4 expressions). Holders can personalize their NFTs through the YOUtility system, fusing up to 3 traits such as personality, job, pronouns, and name, which update the metadata with unique backstories. The project draws on nostalgic vibes and immersive 'Inner Earth' lore inspired by Hollow Earth theory. Integrated with the Otherside metaverse, PixelSaurus provides 3D avatars equippable by holders, marking it as the first dinosaur collection there. Additional utilities include full IP rights for commercial use, free digital trading cards, access to a dedicated Otherside world (#54747), greenlist perks, Discord ranks, adventure books on Amazon, and games like Raptor Run. Built by the team behind ZardsNFT, it emphasizes collectibility, storytelling, and community without VC backing.
