Epanterias is the largest Allosaur on Either island. They are the terror of sauropods, roaming in gangs of 3, and raveging the Titanic long necks.

Deinonychus(x6)

"Terrible claw"

Era: Cretaceous

A formidable animal solo, this terrifying creature hunts in large packs to overwhelm colossal prey. It seems the prey of choice for these dromaeosaurs is small hadrosaurs, and they will absolutely refuse live cows and goats when offered. They are a problematic species to keep in captivity, but specific orders dictate they get one Lambeosaurus every two weeks, no matter how bad PETA dislikes it.

Here we go..

In a dense corridor of temperate rainforest, The female Epanterias nudges the fertile soil into a densely packed mound. She is not gravid, yet she builds a nest - a common affliction among the allosaurids, who were fast becoming extinct on Isla Nublar. They are being pushed to extinction by the abelisaurs, carcharodontosaurs, and tyrannosaurs that inhabit the island...Much what like happened in their native time. Females of the species outnumber the males vastly, and this wouldn't seem like a problem if the population was healthy. A recent census conducted by Ingen field scientists estimated there were only ten living males scattered throughout the island, as opposed to the thirteen or so females.

This female shows characteristic signs of the egg laying season for the Allosaurids. Despite the fact she has no clutch to lay, she still builds the nest and is ferociously aggressive towards any animal that enters the area. She lay next to the dirt and foliage coctail mound, always on the look out for potential nest raiders.

As thunder boomed ominiously overhead, a small pack of Deinonychus entered the domain of the embracing lizard. The alpha, a male with bright red plumage sported on the nape of his neck, led the pack comprised mainly of females. one younger male, just under the reaching arms of maturity, took up the back of the pack.

The dromaeosaurs had been driven from their territory by an inland flood. One that had taken out many of the low lying valleys. Forced from their domain, they entered the territory of a giant.

The dark interior of the temporate rainforest was almost overwhelming as the large eyed predators made their way further in. The dappling rays of sun peaking their way through the dense canopy alloted for some degree of vision, but not much.

Then, the tell tale musky scent of a carnivore invaded the Dromaeosaur packs' nostrils. On high alert, they began to walk very slowly, coming across the skeletal remains of a juvenile saltasaurus. Bits of stringy flesh and cartilage stuck to the soiled bones, and all but the subadult passed by.

He stuck back, poking his narrow snout in between the ribcage, trying to get at the bits of flesh

Little did he know the female Epanterias lay no more then 20 meters away, carefully brooding over her nest.The satiated squwaking of the subadult dromaeosaur caught the ear of the mighty allosaurid.

She turned around, her eyes falling immidiately on the unsuspecting predator. Slowly, ever so slowly, she began to walk forward. The padding on the bottom of her massive feet silenced her approach, and when the dromaeosaur caught on, it was far too late.

She pounced forward, her jaws crushing the pelvis of the Deinonychus as she lifted it heftily off the ground. The frightened youngster squeaked in alarm, but was silenced when the Epanterias thrashed him violently against a conifer tree trunk. The repeated impacts snapped his neck, killing him instantly.

She dropped the lifeless corpse to the forest floor and walked back, brooding over her mound of dirt as if nothing happened.

The remaining Deinonychus knew better, though. They had been alerted by the panicked vocalizations of their youngster, and completely turned around.

They were in the area within seconds, coming across the brutally mauled remains of the subadult.

The females sniffed the remains, while the alpha vigilantly surveyed the area. 

A behemoth shadow rose up before him, and he had just barely jumped out of the way when the monstrous Epanterias slammed her jaws shut in the space he was just in. The females fanned out instinctively, surrounding the new threat. The male hissed, his downy coat of feathers standing on end.

The allosaur wasted no time.

Instead of taking out the alpha, she did a 180 and faced the flanking female. When she stepped forward, the raptor turned to retreat. She lunged forward, grabbing the dromaeosaur by the tail and flinging it against a large jagged boulder mere meters away. The other raptors were on her in seconds. The male jumped onto her right side, slashing away at her ribcage and inches away from her stomach. The other females took nipping bites at the legs, as a mere distraction.

One made the unfortunate mistake of jumping at the Epanterias' throat, in an attempt to end the fight before it got too far.

Fatal mistake. As she jumped forward, the Epanterias met her with fingers tipped with daggers. She slammed the Deinonychus unceromoniously into the ground, rendering her unconscious.

The alpha had opened Gruesome lacerations on the Epanterias' ribcage area, and was using the Allosaurid as a climbing surface as he edged towards the vunerable neck and throat.

At that time, the female Allosaur was making a desperate lunge for one of his pack members, and he slid forward, towards the business end of the Epanterias.

Noticing this at the last second, the Epanterias pitched her shoulder forward, and as the raptor began to slide off, grabbed him by the midsection and shook him like a ragdoll. He shrieked in agony as the blade like teeth dug deeper into his soft underbelly,, unleashing a torrent of blood. The remaining raptors went on an all out assault, jumping and slashing at the maddened killer theropod before them.

The Epanterias threw the alpha to the ground and gave a blood curdling roar. A roar so tremendous, it would have shattered the ear drums of a human with ease. 

Startled a great deal by the unexpected vocalization, the Dromaeosaurs drew back. The formed a small line in front of the Allosaur, standing before the downed alpha. They squawked at the Epanterias, who only responded in another hellish roar.

Having had enough, the Dromaeosaurs began to leave the area. They left behind their alpha, and another female, who were surely going to be picked off by the various predators that called this forest home.

Authors note: 

The Allosaur had a sizeable weight and height advantage over the Dromaeosaurs. So much in fact, 6 Deinonychus wold be outweighed by 1769 kg. The allosaur was too much, and even though it backed off, it ultimately took the lives of 3 Deinonychus, granting it the victory in this match up.

Odds:

65-35 in favor of Epanterias.
