Terradactyl is the second collaborative studio album by Serengeti & Polyphonic. It was released on Anticon in 2009.

Critical reception

Marisa Brown of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, calling it "an impressive, difficult, intelligent record that manages to be accessible, compelling, and nearly indecipherable all at once."[2] She added: "Much, if not most, of this is thanks to Polyphonic, a talented producer who writes arrangements whose air of simplicity belies their complexity."[2] Eddie Fleischer of Cleveland Scene said: "For those who complain that rap has gone stale, Terradactyl proves otherwise."[4]
