a very subjective question you have there
take your pick:

Atopodentatus unicus
-a three jawed marine reptile

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus-who knows what it is anymore

Yi qi a 'bat winged' scansoriopterid

Deinocheirus mirificus-shoebill+sloth+camel+more

Xenokeryx amidalae-a three horned giraffe relative

Concavenator corcovatus-sail hipped theropod with quill knobs

Utahraptor ostrommaysorum-large, short-legged dromaeosaur
Achillobator giganticus-see above

Cotylorhynchus romeri-lizard, big body; tiny head

Mamenchisaurus youngi-slightly strange proportions, look at the tail

azhdarchids as a whole

Majungasaurus crenatissimus-long and short

early whales as a whole

Drepanosaurus unguicaudatus-reptile equivalent of a tamandua+ a chameleon

there's more than that though(even a cat with raptor claws(which I forgot the name of))

edit: there be :ninja: ninjas afoot :ninja:

Why do you even have to ask us? Just google "most absurd prehistoric animals" and that should give you some ideas.

It's still better to look up certain subjects yourself online. :P

reason i had asked that was because it was for my story, you know, the one about the guy who turns into various prehistoric animals that have crazy powers? yeah that one.

And there was a scene where he's asked what has to be his weirdest form he has.

It wasn't all that weird. It's just like all the other cats in the homotherini. Except for Xenosmilus. That was the weird one.

Cheetahs almost have the same overdeveloped thumb claws.

Nah, when you think about it it's just like every other membrane-winged gliding animal out there. The Triassic gliding reptiles were far weirder. Yi Qi is only considered weird because it's a dinosaur, and dinosaurs just generally don't do that.

Rat snake is love... Rat snake is life

Sharovipteryx gliding beside Yi would make the latter looks very mainstream....

are there any pterosaurs that can do long-distance traveling?

Most large pterosaurs were probably capable of it (particularly the biggest ornithocheiroids and azhdarchids).
