Sorry for necroing this topic.

Most of fan art depict Titanosaurus as a spinosaur-like kaiju, but recently I realised that he probably was inspired by hadrosaurs (duckbilled dinosaurs), specifically parasaurolophus. The head crest, the (naturally) peaceful behaviour, the amphibian lifestyle (which is now considered inaccurate, but was considered possible back in 1970s), the quacking sounds, even the head shape is similiar to duck's. I think more people should consider this aspect of Titanosaurus' design/nature.

I've also seen an art piece that takes Titanosaurus back to its sauropod namesake, but has a more Amargasaurus appearance.
