Guest Cutie: Teryx

This is probably as far out as I've ever gotten. Teryx was the token female member of the Dinosaucers, a race of intelligent dinosaurs from outer space who found themselves on Earth combating another race from their home planet, the evil Tyranos. Although seemingly designed to be the perfect hook for adolescent viewers (and admittedly running a healthy 65 episodes) the space/dinosaur combo with the catchy theme song that was Dinosaucers quickly faded from view. (Just made for a cool toy line, the only toys made to promote the show were released to accompany it's syndication in Brazil.) As noted, the only female Dinosaucer was Teryx. Although not the most glamorous design, her femininity none the less showed through and she stayed in the minds of the few who actually caught the show. After I noticed that the floofy plumage she wore was part of her uniform, it got me to thinking... Despite her chicken feet and only vaguely feminine face, Teryx did sport a rather nice figure which no doubt also helped keep her in the memories of those who saw the show during it's brief run. She seems to make a decent glamor subject, although I'm sure her use as such would mean a lot more to those few who might actually remember the series.
