Creature Profiles

Young Bonapartenykus, often abandoned or left alone too long by their parent, may wander far enough from the nest that they become lost. If a baby has strayed more than half a POI away, they must be kicked from the group and survive on their own. Those who explore too much are considered too enchanted by the world around them to survive past hatchling. If they've been removed from their group, they may imprint on the first thing they see, even if it's a predator. If imprinted, the Bonapartenykus may stay well into adulthood but may not help defend its adoptive parent.

If solo, Bonapartenykus may see a solo Therizinosaurus as its parental figure, regardless of the Bona’s age. A solo Therizinosaurus may collect up to 5 Bonapartenykus but must treat them as its offspring. Bonapartenykus may attempt to protect its parental figure, bringing it gifts and sleeping in its long, fluffy tail. Suzhosaurus may collect up to 8 Bonapartenykus.

When foraging near other herbivores, Bonapartenykus often attempts to steal food from their mouths or snatch fruit that drops nearby. This mischievous behavior can cause smaller herbivores to flee and larger ones to stomp or roar, scattering berries for the opportunistic thieves.

30 seconds after a body drops and as long as the body owner is not actively eating, this creature may steal the trophy from the BD.

Compsognathus employ a strategic, endurance-based hunting method, relying on the pack’s coordination to exhaust prey before making a kill. During hunts, Compsognathus swarms engage in relentless harassment; nipping, flanking, and chasing to wear down targets over time and maintain the combat timer. They avoid immediate direct attacks, instead focusing on isolating prey and provoking exhaustion or injury through continuous pressure. If the prey is healthy and alert, Compsognathus avoid prolonged exposure to potential injury by retreating or delaying the hunt until prey vulnerability increases.

Compsognathus are highly social creatures that rely on constant group presence and vocal communication. Individuals frequently use soft chirps, friendly calls, or alert calls to maintain cohesion and awareness within the swarm. Lone Compsognathus often show signs of anxiety or restlessness and should avoid staying separated from a group for extended periods of time.

After a successful hunt, groups of Compsognathus break into a frenzied display of excitement. They chirp rapidly, dash in tight circles, leap at one another, and rub snouts or sides in a chaotic yet coordinated "celebration" for one minute. This ritual reinforces group cohesion and signals success to distant members, reflecting their highly social behavior.

Compsognathus courtship is short, loud, and chaotic—males compete through energetic chirping, tail flicks, and short dashes around the females. Males present small offerings like shiny pebbles, shells, or bits of food to gain favor. Females often choose mates based on persistence and the health of the male’s skin rather than dominance. Pair bonds last only through the breeding season, after which all members return to their larger swarm. Mated pairs are affectionate within the chaos, sharing food and taking turns guarding the nesting site until chicks hatch.

Deinonychus can be seen grouping to massive numbers with Latenivenatrix due to their simularities. They may hunt with Latenivenatrix but Latenivenatrix take up 2 slots in the hunting group. Ex. If there is 10 slots, 5 Latenivenatrix take up all 10 slots. 3 Latenivenatrix would take up 6 slots. Those other 4 slots could be taken up by Deinonychus. Normal grouping is unlimited.

Deinonychus, during times of low population, may find themselves unable to find a suitable mate. During these times, they may mate, nest and group with a Latenivenatrix. The offspring will be hybrids of the two and may follow any Laten or Deino optional behaviors but themselves cannot nest offspring due to being infertile.

Deinonychus love reflections. They’ll gather near shiny surfaces or water puddles, watching themselves and performing mock dances or calls. This fascination sometimes extends to collecting metallic or glossy objects for their nests.

Not only does Dimetrodon Milleri enjoy hunting small prey, it also loves to stalk the prey that soars high above, giving chase as they fly away to give them the exercise they need. Dimetrodon Milleri may hunt creatures with wings due to their needle-like teeth that tear through the thin membranes of these creatures. Killing a flier allows you to use !tasty.

Dimetrodon Milleri is very protective of its den, which is its nest. This den protects it from many dangers, including rain and snow, and it depends on this den with its life. Many creatures are curious about this strange and unique nest, which aggravates this small, energetic lizard. If a creature is near, in, or on the den, it may aggressive call up to 3 times before attacking and nipping. This will only result in death if the creature continues to stand on the nest until it is killed by the Dimetrodon. All attacks must cease if the creature makes an attempt to leave or run away.

Occasionally, a massive Dimetrodon Grandis forms a practical alliance with the smaller, faster Milleri. This is not a friendship—Grandis simply holds respect for small, agile creatures with sails, which they view as worthy companions. In this partnership:

When threatened, Dryosaurus doesn't fight—it flees. Relying on speed and agility, it darts away in unpredictable zig-zag patterns, weaving through trees and underbrush to throw off predators. This erratic movement makes Dryosaurus hard to catch, especially in dense terrain, where its small size and quick reflexes give it the edge it needs to escape alive.

Dryosaurus love to compete for fun, often challenging each other to spontaneous races. When two ungrouped Dryos meet, one may issue a challenge by broadcasting three times. If the other responds with a broadcast, the race begins. The pair will dash toward the nearest major landmark or a mutually chosen spot. However, in their excitement, Dryos often veer off course, chasing the wind and leaving their opponent at the finish line, confused but entertained. These playful races build familiarity and may even lead to temporary grouping if both Dryos bond through the competition.

While a dominant Dryosaurus may lead the herd, the rest of the group is never shy about voicing their opinions. Dryos are naturally fussy and expressive, often chirping, yapping, and alert-calling in disagreement as they follow. They’ll complain no matter what water or food source they’re taken to, and may even hop or bounce toward alternate paths, urging the leader to follow their preferred route. These constant back-and-forths don’t break the group—but they do make every journey noisy.

Despite their speed, Dryosaurus will sometimes run behind larger herbivores, riding close behind instead of simply going around. They honk, chirp, and occasionally nip at the larger dinosaur's tail, seemingly urging them to move faster. This behavior never lasts more than 60 seconds, either because they get bored or the path finally clears. It’s unclear if this is annoyance, amusement, or just Dryos being Dryos—but it’s a common (and mildly irritating) sight on forest trails.

Due to their small size and vulnerability, Dryosaurus prefer forest paths, weaving through underbrush and darting between foliage to stay hidden from predators. They instinctively stick to cover, avoiding open ground whenever possible. Elder Dryos often create and maintain their own hidden trails between POIs. These paths are passed down to offspring, who learn the safest and fastest routes through observation and mimicry—ensuring the next generation knows how to survive in a world full of bigger threats.

Kelenkens will recognize if a carnivore is feeding them and will choose to defend this protector with their life, assisting in all forms of combat except spars. This bird will sacrifice itself by becoming a distraction if its protector is close to death. One Keleken may symbiote with any tier terrestrial carnivore(s) if offered 3 chunks of meat. It is the Kelenken’s choice if it wishes to accept or reject the grouping offer. During the duration of the protectors' nesting, Kelenken may eat any children who are disobeying their parents, weeding out any loud/disobedient children who risk their protectors' safety/location. They become more aggressive towards outsiders, taking the role of a nanny for their protector's children, giving them ample chance to hunt whilst the Kelenken guards the children that are hidden away.

When in a symbiotic relationship, a Kelenken may mourn its protector if they die; they will crouch over the head of the dead protector, letting out several distress calls and nuzzling the dead body, attempting to get their protector to stand back up. They will refuse to eat from the body.

These large birds often preen to help clean and remove feathers that need plucking. Kelenkens will help each other with preening, reaching feathers that the other cannot reach. This strengthens the bond of the family unit. During Summer, they will have a dust bath to absorb oil and get rid of parasites, and they will sometimes bathe in small puddles. When dust-bathing, they may use !clean.

Keleken are known for being extremely aggressive around meals. Due to this, they will not back down from a body contest unless the other party is Tier 5+.

During Spring, Kelenken courtship is a thunderous spectacle. Males compete with flamboyant dances—stomping, wing-flaring, and booming calls that echo across plains. Females observe from a distance, choosing mates based on stamina and display finesse. Once a pairing forms, both share food offerings and mutual preening to maintain their bond. While males may court multiple females within a season, they show surprising gentleness towards chosen partners, guarding them and gifting food to prove their worth.

30 seconds after a body drops and as long as the body owner is not actively eating, this creature may steal the trophy from the BD.

If a species is kind to Latenivenatrix, they won’t hunt that species for 1 hour. If they recognize the specific player who was kind, they’ll avoid hunting them for two seasons.

Latenivenatrix will never claim territory, act aggressively toward, or eat the body of another Latenivenatrix or Deinonychus. Instead, they must invite them to the group, viewing all as family. They have unlimited pack size, but only 10 may attack at once, and switching attackers (“tag-teaming”) is not allowed.

Deinonychus can be seen grouping to massive numbers with Latenivenatrix due to their simularities. They may hunt with Latenivenatrix but Latenivenatrix take up 2 slots in the hunting group. Ex. If there is 10 slots, 5 Latenivenatrix take up all 10 slots. 3 Latenivenatrix would take up 6 slots. Those other 4 slots could be taken up by Deinonychus. Normal grouping is unlimited.

Velocciraptor rarely waste effort on full hunts when they can steal instead. They will tail larger carnivores or wait in the shadows near fresh kills, darting in to snatch bites the moment the predator looks away. When caught, they scatter in every direction, vanishing into the undergrowth with shrill cackles. Though small, their nerve and speed make them some of the most persistent scavengers on the plains — feared not for their strength, but their audacity. Velocciraptor may scavenge at any hunger. They may only steal up to 5 chunks from the body.

Velociraptors are quiet hunters, communicating in soft chirps and tail flicks when stalking. They are experts at using terrain — bushes, rocks, and low slopes — to conceal movement. When one spots potential prey, it freezes, signaling others to spread out. If the prey looks their way, the raptors crouch and hold still until danger passes. If their prey stares for more than 15 seconds without moving, one raptor will stay and hold its attention while others flank to close in for the kill. This silent cooperation gives them an edge during ambushes, allowing them to strike together with startling precision.

Velocciraptor is a creature of cunning and calculated chaos, turning retreat into its deadliest weapon. When cornered or outnumbered, it erupts in alert calls and bolts — only to twist back in a sudden, feral strike once its pursuers lower their guard. This feigned panic lures enemies into complacency, and in that heartbeat of confusion, the raptor strikes true. During hunts, Velocciraptors often toy with their prey, circling at a distance and chattering to unsettle them. They wait for the weak or the young to stray before the pack surges forward as one, a blur of claws and shrieks cutting through the silence of the plains. The Trickster’s Feast is never just about hunger — it’s instinct made art, a contest of patience and precision where wit triumphs over brute strength.

Lone Utahraptors are known to seek out Achillobator groups when they cannot find others of their own kind. These creatures present offerings of food, crouching and bowing its head to the Emperor or Senate. This submission ritual is often humiliating, with the Utahraptor being snapped at, jumped on, and loudly called at during the process. Afterwards, seeing them as lowly but useful, Achillobators can accept them into their packs. These Utahraptors are barely tolerated and often treated as low ranked outcasts; not allowed to hunt, forced to babysit offspring and eating last at kills. If an Utahraptor is discovered killing one of their own, vengeance is swift and unforgiving. The group may begin hunting the Utahraptor on sight at any hunger, as they seek revenge not food.

Achillobators are prideful, only respecting wisdom, power and grand legacies. Elders, known as Emperors, are often the sole rulers of groups. If no elders are present, 2-3 Achillobators may decide to rule a group in unity, becoming a Senate. Senate members' authority is equal, requiring joint rulership to lead their stubborn kin. If a senate is undecided, quarrels are settled with a vote. Senates and Emperors are optional, serving only as a tradition. To become a senate member an Achillobator completes one of the following trials: see bullet points below. If everyone has grouped before, their Senate may lead without redoing their trials. Commonly, If an eligible Achillobator wishes to take their place, they spar for the title.

Achillobator are strategic fighters, picking off the frail and sickly first. Taking advantage of weakness, Achillobators can hunt sick creatures at 80% hunger. Achillobator are known to follow prey across great distances, waiting for the perfect time to strike.

Achillobators mate for life and are fiercely devoted. If their mate dies in battle they may contest their body, even defending it from others in their pack, snapping and biting at any who come close. They retreat at 15% health, determined to keep their mates memory alive with them. For the next hour they can prioritize hunting the species that killed their mate, when possible, which they can hunt at 80% hunger, seeking revenge on their kind. No other Achillobators may partake in this hunt– it's personal.

Alioramus is known to revisit old battlegrounds where it once fed or fought, instinctively drawn to the scent of death. When returning to a POI it has previously hunted in within the year, it becomes noticeably bolder, approaching even larger threats.

These predators don’t eat for need — they eat for dominance. After a kill or scavenged meal, an Alioramus may linger over the body, tearing and thrashing at the carcass long after it’s full.

Alioramus is a powerful foe when grouped under the right circumstances.

Males are nomadic challengers, traveling between prides and scavenger hubs. They constantly test their strength through sparring and vocal intimidation, rarely forming permanent bonds. Males often follow storms or disaster zones, where carcasses are plentiful. Females are clever, temperamental, and vindictive. They control access to hunting grounds and tolerate only those males who show restraint. Once bonded to a hunting area, they will return every season, fighting tooth and claw to reclaim it if driven off.

Ceratosauruses are extremely proud of the osteoderms they grow atop their head, perking their head up to show it anytime any creature even glances at them. They may prance around with broadcast calls to draw attention to their carefully groomed osteoderms and may become aggressive upon seeing Pycnonemosaurus and Carnotaurus, attacking them without warning at 70% hunger or lower.

If a Ceratosaurus comes across a body down at 60% or lower hunger, it may contest the body immediately without warning, jumping into battle with nips at the tail. Once the creature stands, it abandons hitting the tail and lands as many hits on the body and head as possible, commonly aiming for the neck.

Three blood-related Ceratosaurus may adopt a solo Tyrannosaurus Rex/Z-rex as their host, following it regardless of the host wanting them to or not. In combat, the Ceratosaurus may third-party alongside the rex, taking the body as their own but allowing the rex occasional and rare bites. The rex may choose to accept the little symbiotes but must submit to them via submission calls and requesting to join group.

If it spots another Concavenator, it will chase them relentlessly, even if the POI isn’t full. Former mates and even grown offspring get no mercy—recognition doesn’t reduce its hostility. These encounters end either with submission—one crouching, lowering its head, and alert calling —or with death. Concavenators will always respect submission attempts. Body downs may be ignored when in pursuit of another Concavenator.

Older Concavenators—greyed and dulled with age—are treated with rare respect. Instead of hostility, younger individuals may quietly follow them, giving alert or friendly calls. They may even ignore their usual self-hatred to share space for a short time, seeking the elder’s presence for comfort or guidance. This respect applies only to visibly aged survivors (fully or mostly greyed/dulled T4 and T3 elders), never to younger rivals.

Concavenator may spend hours along the shoreline, turning seashells with its nose and tilting them different ways to see their true color. If it likes the color, it may pluck it up and then proceed to run to the closest warm water source (only whistling columns/hotsprings/putrid lake), and leave it in the water for 3 minutes, allowing the acidic water to show the true colors of the shell. It will then offer this shell to its potential mate, crouching and ducking its head while shaking. If they accept, the other Concavenator will pick up the shell and crouch, pressing the top of its head to the others. If not interested, the potential mate will not pick up the shell, instead, walking away without a word.

Cougars are known to be deadly solo predators. They rely on stealth and terrain to stalk their prey and wait for the perfect opportunity to attack. Use crouching, trees, and bushes to surprise your prey. You cannot approach prey if it can see you.

Cougars wander around in their territory and mark it, scratching on trees, rocks, and letting out roars from time to time. Should a non-grouped cougar enter their chosen territory, they may challenge them for it even if solo. If the solo Cougar that challenged flees, the pack can choose to let it go or pursue through the combat timer.

During spring, cougars can get playful with their cubs and mate. They can attempt to climb trees, nap in tree perches, or simply watch over their territory from a cliff. It is common for cougars to make tight circles around other creatures, friendly calling, and jumping. If you are circling someone via this behavior, you cannot swap to attacking.

Cougars may only have 4 combatants at any time and utilize a hit and run tactic, never body blocking or tanking hits. Only the 4 fighting may use calls. Tag teaming/swapping out attackers is not allowed. Pack members that disrespect the engagement limit must be killed by the pack. Hosts can help in engagements.

Cougars may hunt wolves at 70% hunger and bully them off of a BD (following normal bd contesting rules) at 75% hunger. Cougars and wolves have a clear hatred for each other, never symbioting for the ofher.

A Carnotaurus may mock charge other Carnotaurus if they are: Within a pack of Carnotaurus, only 1 may perform this behaviour, while the rest may headbutt the air to show their impatience. A mock charge can never result in CT being activated, unless the Carnotaurus being charged at attacks first. Other bright dinosaurs aren't the Carnotaurus’ only target; their blind fury has them aggressively ripping out bright-red flowers or berries, headbutting and picking them up before scattering them on the ground where they are less likely to flicker from the wind, even stomping on them to bury the color within the ground. They may only do this once per season.

Carnotaurus are easily confused, and as such, see themselves when spotting Pycnomenosaurus. They may freely mixpack if no other Carnotaurus are able to be found in 20 minutes of searching, with the group limit remaining the same. Female Carnotaurus seem to prefer male Pycnomenosaurus and may even attempt to nest, but it will be unsuccessful.

If 3 or more Carnotaurus/Pycnomenotaurus are grouped, a female Carnotaurus may choose to engage in a hunt against a solo T3-4 alone. She'll charge at the target before any males can see, attempting to quickly finish it off and prove that she is a capable hunter without the help of agitated Bulls. If she has a successful kill she may use !tasty when eating. She will fiercely guard it from other males in the pack for 30 seconds before allowing them to eat.

Carnotaurus males are fiercely territorial creatures, even fighting over the females in their group, the winners protecting a chosen female from other Bulls or curious creatures. They may spar until 50% health. If new females join, the Bulls can choose to spar again for the right to protect her.

Daspletosaurus are aloof, curious, and calculating. They often circle or herd other species just to observe them, backing off when challenged but enjoying the chance to unsettle others and study their behavior. They may show unexpected tolerance toward abandoned hatchlings or small juveniles, sometimes letting them rest nearby or herding them for entertainment. Some individuals even “play,” running around the young with loud calls and shakes. Daspletosaurus also take interest in small, harmless species (T1–2) and are often amused by their antics — sometimes even falling for their tricks.

Males bow to females while shaking their heads and giving friendly calls. Calmer, dull-colored Dasps are the most desirable. Groups may “trade” females for genetic diversity or when bonds weaken. Offspring may coo (alert call) at their father if their mother or female sibling is being traded. Other pack members may choose to follow the traded female if their bond to her is strong. Courting typically occurs in Impact Crater during spring.

A solo Daspletosaurus may group with a solo Yutyrannus. In this pairing, the Yutyrannus may help with hunts in addition to providing support. The Daspletosaurus must do everything possible to make the Yutyrannus’ life easy and comfortable—letting it eat first, guarding it while it sleeps, grooming its feathers, and protecting it from critters and weather.

In autumn, unmated Dracovipers migrate to Red Island or Wind Tunnels. There, they fly, dive, and call out to show their strength and skill. The fastest and most agile flyers stand out. After landing, brightly colored Dracovipers may approach duller ones and spread their wings to ask for a partnership. If accepted, both rumble and stretch their wings. If rejected, the response may be biting, spitting, and angry roaring. Less colorful Dracovipers often land and watch instead of approaching others. A Dracoviper does not have to join a swarm, but refusing may force it to live alone for several months. Solo Dracovipers struggle and cannot use !sleep unless they offer food to a swarm in hopes of joining. When challenged by a swarm, a solo Dracoviper may make a friendly call to show it wants to join.

Due to their wide wingspan, Dracovipers are limited to a defense/offense limit of 3. They rely on their barrel-roll for aerial tactics, and having any more Dracos in the air results in accidental friendly-fire. During life or death fights against T5-6, 4 Dracovipers may participate in combat/defense.

Dracoviper will only warn once (aggressive call) with no wait before wing slamming to shove creatures too close away from them. (DO NOT shove people off cliffs.)

Dracovipers may attack Griffins they see on Red Island at 75% hunger. Dracoviper may also bully Griffins off of a BD (through normal BD contesting rules) at 70% hunger.

Color is the core of Yutyrannus culture. They spend long hours experimenting with dyes from flowers, iron-rich soils, and—very rarely—blood. Bright, vibrant individuals are the most respected. Dull-colored Yutyrannus are seen as unhealthy and unattractive. They are: Forbidden from hunting Kept away from young and leaders Denied first access to food Left behind when the group travels Behavior in Rain & Water Because color defines status, Yutyrannus avoid rain at all costs, sheltering under trees or any overhead cover. Only individuals who drop to 25% hunger may leave the shelter to feed. Returning from rain requires the player to dull their skin to show color loss (amount is up to the player). Crossing Water Crossing water is highly avoided. If crossing is unavoidable, all members must dull their coats (e.g., bright red → dull pink). If the group does not attempt to find another route and goes straight into the water, they become white in color. Any Yutyrannus may choose to refuse, finding another route or abandoning the group entirely. Color loss begins only when the wet bar is full, giving players time to find shelter. If under proper cover, no color loss occurs, even if the bar keeps filling. Rank & Color Changes Rank shifts at any time based purely on color. To change skins: Find a colorful item (e.g., flower). Sit down. Perform the shake emote. Lie down and switch to the skin that matches the rolled color. To brighten that color: Roll in more of the same item. 1 roll = dull version 3 rolls = bright version Feeding Order: Young Elderly Leaders Regular pack members Sick individuals Sickness & Albino/Melanistic Rules: Sickness To show illness: Switch to Variation 4 (if available) and a patchy skin. Sick Yutyrannus stay on the edges of the group, lag behind, and rarely vocalize. Players may choose to roleplay sickness at any time, but in-game sickness makes these rules mandatory. Albino / Melanistic Albino and melanistic offspring are considered death omens. They are always killed if possible, regardless of hunger. Even if spotted outside the pack, they may be aggressive-called and chased (doesnt end in death). Albino/melanistic Yutyrannus cannot dye themselves and must remain completely dull.

In spring, Yutyrannus return to their ancestral home in the highlands. Flocking to Rainbow Hills they create a procession of colors, equally stunning and fearsome in their beauty. They spend the season among the colorful dunes, absorbing its atmosphere and taking artistic inspiration for future colors. Here Yutyrannus engage in breathtaking dances, creating a flurry of feathers as they show off their glorious plumage. If impressed by a vibrant dancer, Yutyrannus may partake in a special courting dance on the highest hill and become mates. The steps to this dance are their own, woven from equal adoration.

Yutyrannus view themselves as the most stunning and beautiful creatures of all the world. But even they appreciate others beauty, and find themselves spending peaceful nights admiring the moon and stars. Whimsical Yutys will sing and frolic under the lights of fireflies, as they're like little stars come to crown them. Mated pairs may vocalise and share nuzzles, embracing the soft moment. Solo Yuty may even find their Dasp companion looks almost regal under the starlight. Almost. If they admire their rugged charm, well, the stars can keep secrets.
