another good one suggested to me, if you have a fight suggestion(mid sized theropods and/or herbivores) i need three!

Carnotaurus

Length: 8.25 m

Weight: 1 ton

Height: 3 m

Era: Mid Cretaceous

Carnotaurus looks like one of the dinosaurs that didn't come out of the oven right. It's tiny arms(about a foot long) served little purpose. Nonetheless, it is an apex predator. Not exactly at the top of the food chain, as it is preyed on by large tyrannosaurs and allosaurs. Carnotaurus is a specilized small herbivore hunter, especially dryosaurs, it's favored prey. Carnotaurus kills with a bite to the back, then shaking the poor animal until the back breaks. Then, with it's flexible jaws, swallow the prey animal whole. This is thought to be an adaptation to avoid loosing its' kill. The coloration of Carnotaurus is a light brown, with red tiger-like stripes down the entire body

Dilophosaurus

Length: 7.5 m

Height: 3.2 m

Weight: 1000 lbs

Era: Early jurassic

Dilophosaurus is one of the strangest theropods ever observed on either island. It spends most of the day perched on a rock, and makes soft hooting sounds. No one knows what the purpose of this call is, but it was suggested to be a territorial one. They are lethal, strategic hunters. Dilophosaurus injures a juvenile(mostly anything smaller then it) and incapacitates it, and drags it towards a grove of trees, but don't kill them. Instead, they wait for the parent to come to the juveniles aid, then jump out at them and kill with a bite to a neck and sharp hand claws. Depending on the size of the prey animal, the Dilophosaurus will then kill the juvenile and eat both. Dilophosaurus is a gray color with green colored crests with black stripes, similiar to the beak of a toucan.

FIGHT!

Thunder clouds loom over the sky of Isla Nublar as female Carnotaurus sits in ambush. She has been here most of the day, with a reliable stretch of river just feet away, she had no reason to leave. However, as the day wore on she became increasingly hungry and kept a watchful eye out. Her patience pays off as a female dryosaur wanders by with her two young chicks in tow. She pounces on the unsuspecting Dryosaur, and shakes her around violently as her young watch on helplessly. She swallows the Dryosaur head first, and turns her attention to the youngsters. They run off, easily outpacing the Abelisaur at a speedy 40Mph. She still follows though, sure she can eventually catch one.

At one point she looses sight of them, and follows the young dryosaurs by their scent. After around an hour, she catches sight of the pair at a small lake. The lake borders a rocky outcrop, and to the left of the Dryosaurs is the beginning of a small forest. The Carnotaurus finds a large boulder to hide behind and intently watches the dryosaurs. Quenching their thirst, the pair decides to move on. The female Carnotaurus decides to make her move, when another large theropod beats her to it. The monstrous animal was a dilophosaurus, something she had seen before. The Dilophosaur sprung on the unaware pair and bit the smaller one through the neck, then  threw it to the ground. The abelisaur stood dumbfounded, and sat in her hiding place as the Dilophosaurus began to feed.

Thunder boomed and the abelisaur jumped, revealing herself to the Dilophosaurus. Te dilophosaur jerked it's bloody snout up and locked eyes with the Carnotaurus. A veteran of this area, he wasn't going to let a newcomer steal his kill. He roared at the abelisaur, letting her know she had to wait her turn. The Carnotaurus took this as a challenge, and made her way towards the feeding beast. As she got closer, the Dilophosaur hunckered down and let out a low growl...the abelisaurs' final warning.

The abelisaur boldy put her foot down on the dead dryosaur, and roared. Having dealt with larger opponents in the past, the dilophosaur knew the course of action he needed to take. He backed away and bowed his head in submission, his crests turning a soft violet color. With the dinosaur equivalent of a smirk, the Carnotaur began to gourge herself. Seeing his plan had worked thus far, he silently ran at the abelisaur. The dilophosaur jumped onto her side, and began to tear away at he bony hide with lethal talons. The Carnotaurus violently shook her body, and the dilophosaur fell to the ground.

The abelisaur tried to stop the Dilophosaurus to death, but the swift animal quickly got to his feet. He pawed the ground like an angry bull and roared. He wasn't about to loose his kill to this odd looking animal. The Carnotaurus rammed him in the chest, sending him flying twenty yards. Before he could get up, the female abelisaur was going for his throat. The long arms were the saving grace of the dilophosaur, and he held off the massive head of the Carnotaurus. The dilophosaur landed a lucky blow to er left eye, and she jerked back in suprise.

The dilophosaur grabbed the oppurtunity and bit down on the Carnotaurus' stumpy arm. He bit it clean off and threw it to the ground. Growling, he advanced on the injured abelisaur. He lunged for her throat, but the Carnotaurus was agile. She swung her head into his, momentarily jarring him. She once again charged him and one of her horns cut into his side. The dilophosaur collapsed to the ground, exhausted and battered. The female carnotaurus couldn't see exactly where he fell, but assumed he had ran off and quickly turned back to the carcass.

The Dilophosaur got to his feet, having survived his brush with death. He watched the abelisaur feed, and growled with frustration. He wasn't about to loose his kill to this newcomer. He started to charge forward when a bright flash of lightning engulfed the nearby trees in flames. The Dilophosaur quickly darted off, knowing he had just lost his home. The Carnotaurus didn't regist the fire until she felt the intense wall of heat against her scaly skin. Quite frightened by this, but not enough so that she would leave her new meal, picked up the dryosaur and ran the way she from which she came.

It's a Draw!

Well, dilophosaurus probably wouldn't survive it's lined up round two opponent, so let's say the winner is...Carnotaurus!File:Carnotaurus.png

Good fight. Nice to see both sides survive. I figured that Carno would advance.

Forgot about the mid sized ones, let's say Torvosaurus, Suchomimus (three ton estimate), and Yutyrannus if you haven't used it. Suchomimus could be used, or Spinosaurus Moraccanus (not sure how big that one was, smaller than Eagyptiacus.

i think estimates put maroccanus at 12-14 meters... I've debated putting torvosaurus vs suchomimus for a while now

Length doesn't really matter. Spinosaurus Eagypticus, for example, has had recent studies that put a 60 foot (I doubt they got that big myself) individual at 55% T-Rex's weight, and a 42 foot T-Rex at upwards of 9 tons (I think, I haven't read those in a while).

not from a fighting standpoint, no. But for intimidation, which i use pretty heavily, something in the mid size range(11 meters and/ or 4.5 tons in this series) isn't gonna want to fight something head on that much larger then itself. I see S. Eagypticus getting around 6 tons at max. Spinosaurs ain't the heaviest of animals, which is why i consider Sucho for this round

I see what you mean, and I agree with your theory, I'd believe up to seven tons though (for a full size, very old individual). I know what you mean with the intimidation too, good job with that, a different approach to fight writing.

I know, and you do a good job. I try to incorporate the environment, as well as the weather (nice job by the way), and motives.

You should make Torvosaurus vs Suchomius for sure! it would be a good fight they're both evenly matched 33-36 ft around 3 tons, it would be a great fight!

That would be a good fight (minus the fact that Spinosaurs have bites on the weak side, and Megalosaurs have huge bite forces that rival the bites of Tyrannosaurs). Would be a good fight though.

 

Thanks, and you're welcome.

I don't know why, but I'd like to see Spinosaurus Moraccanus vs Suchomimus, don't know why. Could have land and water battle, dinosaurs, crocodiles, and fish could all interfere.

That would be a good one. I noticed that Sucho was already used after I posted.

What about Tarascosaurus instead of Rugops? At up to 30 feet in length, it's much bigger and would be a better rival for Afrovenator.

 

This fight was good too.

Awesome. Plus Rugops was probably a scavenger while Tarascosaurus was an apex predator.

I was rooting for Carnotaurus ;)

Siats vs Saurophaganax

Ceratosaurus vs Albertosaurus/Daspletosaurus/Gorgosaurus/etc.

Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe in. -Brom-

Great fight, I was rooting for Carnotaurus, but I'm glad both survived. Nice job.
