Another theropod predator, the Dilophosaurus rely more on their claws to catch and kill prey than they do on their relatively small teeth and jaws. Excellent runners, they have long legs and stiffened tails for balance. Their skulls are topped with paired crests that look similar to the comb of a rooster and deepen in colour when they are flushed with blood, serving as a mating display and as a warning to others.
Intelligent, skittish and typically solitary, they can be found hunting for smaller game animals in the forests or probing streams and lakes for fish. Their coloration varies widely among individuals, ranging from deep black to the occasional grey or even white albino.
ABILITIES
Their spit contains a natural neurotoxin which can blind or paralyze depending on how much venom is absorbed.
HABITAT
Frequently found in marshes and forests, they also hunt near streams and lakes.
