Theriozeniasaurus:This is for UCMP. they have the longest arms for their body mass. They have 3 foot claws in there fingers. They used them to pull down branches but of course to slice and dice their enemies..
Dromeasaurids: they have the second longest arms for their body size. And they need their arms to hang onto prey animals and also the arms are strong because they used in often in fighting.
Spinosaurids: same as dromeasarurids but knot ad long. Their arms are strong becsuse they have to take down prey and lift up fish.
Megalossurid/Torvosaurid: they have very powerful arms for slowing down their prey. And these armsccould be used in combat and could damage their rivals with their arms. Their arms were quite heavil muscled.
Carchaadontosaurids: same as torvosaurids but since they aren't as bulky as the megslosaurids their arms were not as powerful. But no the less were still deadly weapons.
Allosaurid: same as above, but they relyed more on thee arms then other theropods. The arms have big strongly curved claws that could deal a lot of damage to their prey and opponents.
Dilophosaurids: they had long powerful arms but since they were fairly lightly built there arms were not as powerful as other theropods. But they were still very useful in hunting and combat since their bites were fairly week.
Tyrranosaurids: they are quite bulky and powerful animals, but heir arms..not so much. their arms are somewhat weak and notfit for combat though they dont have the smallest or weakest arms.
Abeliosaurids: back words facing, outurned, and small with stuby claw. Thee arms were utterly useless.
