@SpaceJoker13 I think Lao Shan Lung pretty much has nothing to do with Magdaros or Miralis, the only relation they have is that Lao is also a vertebrate... Yes, it has a long neck and can stand up the same way as Magdaros and Miralis do. But that's all. Magdaros and Miralis clearly are closer to Teostra, Kushala, Chameleos, Magala, etc... just because of the simple fact that they all have six limbs, which makes them an entirely different group as the four-limbed vertebrates. And Lao Shan has only four limbs, and I've always assumed that it was related to the prosauropodas (ancestors of dinosaurs like brachiosaurus or diplocodus).
