Carnosaur
MemberCompsognathusOct-08-2014 10:20 AMHaven't written one of these in a while, so let's get it started!
Carcharodontosaurus
Length: 13 meters
Weight: 7 tons
Era: early Cretaceous
A giant theropod that gives its family the name, Carcharodontosauruscomes in two variations: The smaller, more robustly built Iguidensis that haunts the coastlines of Sorna, and sticks towards a more hadrosaur oriented diet, And the Inland C. saharicus, which is asauropod slayer. They aren't very social creatures, and are more then capable of taking down small to mid sized sauropods on their own.
Deinocheirus
Length: 11 meters
Weight: 7.5 tons
Era: early Cretaceous
A bizarre creature that no one fully understands. It's a chimaeric animal in behavior in appearance. It's a modestly built, fast animal like ornithomimids, yet grazes on low hanging trees and bushes. It also possesses the enormous claws mad famous by the therizinosaurs, though these are longer,albeit less sharp. It has few natural enemies, save the giant theropods.
Here we go..
A big male Deinocheirus plucks away at a lonely stand of cycad trees on a brisk Isla Sorna morning. The tough, pinecone like structure yields the nutrtious seeds of the tree - one only an animal like Deinocheirus could get to with its Hadrosaurine jaws. With one swift motion, he tears the strange nutrient rich cone and grinds it with his back rows of teeth. After he finishes with this one, he lumbers over to the next cycad and repeats the process.
Little does he know,he's being hunted. A female Carcharodontosaurus watches from behind a stand of dense shrubbery. Having been forced away from her prime stretch of hunting ground, she now lives a nomadic life. It doesn't help matters that she hasn't eaten for a full two weeks, and the hunger pangs are starting to set in. She eyes the bizarre herbivore from her strategic ambush position. Having never dealt with an animal like this, she ponders her attack strategy.
Leg muscles taut at the fringes of action, she's stopped cold when the Chimaeric animal begins to lumber in her direction. That's when she sees the enormous four foot claws that tipped the hands.
This made her instantly more weary, having had her face eviscerated by an animal withsuch claws when she was a subadult. She still bore the scars of that horrifying interaction. Nonetheless, if she didn't kill soon, she would starve. Many other theropods were in direct competition with her on this island as well - she would need to kill and scarf down the Deinocheirus to lessen the chance of her losing the kill.
Bizarrely enough, the Deinocheirus didn't seem to notice her. Yet it stood not ten feet away. The large, sword tipped hands were preoccupied with grasping the branches ahead.
It was now or never.
Effortlessly, she plunged her immense bulk straight at the Deinocheirus. Her shark toothed jaws poised to clamp around the long vunerable neck.
The Deinocheirus sensed something was terribly wrong just moments before the attack, and when he saw the enormous black shape coming at him, he jerked backwards, honking noisily. He turned to run, but he didn't get far.
The Carcharodontosaur was fast as well, blocking the escape route and lurching forward to attack once more.
This time, the Deinocheirus was ready.
He slapped the marauding predator away, his claws slicing through the thin flesh on the snout and causing a massive laceration. The predator paused, staring at her soon to be dinner. The blood was warm on her snout, and it trickled down and hit the grassy ground of the plain.
All was silent..
..then The carcharodontosaur backed down.
She backed away, issuing a low hiss at the lethal herbivore.
With a responding honk, the Deinocheirus went back to grazing. The carcharodontosaur was walking away, in search of a better meal, when out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the Chimaeric animal had turned its back to her.
She did a full 180, and slowly began to walk towards the Deinocheirus once more. This time, there would be no room for error.
She rushed the oblivious herbivore, launching her immense bulk directly onto the Deinocheirus.
The impact sent both multi ton animals to the ground - the Deinocheirus honking all the way down. Being the more agile of the two, the Carcharodontosaur was the first on her feet. The bent down and quickly bit the back of the Deinocheirus' neck. In this position, he was utterly helpless. He claws frantically, honking up a storm, but it was to no avail.
The Carcharodontosaur let go, and a torrent of blood began to flow from the wound. The Deinocheirus didn't try to get up, all was silent as the predator watched the Chiaeric Deinocheirus bleed to death.
Winner - Carcharodontosaurus
Author's note: Carcharodontosaurs weren't accustomed to such prey in their environment - not the size of Deinocheirus anyway. These shark toothed lizards with ingeniously designed to take on prey their size or larger, and though the Deinocheirus had decent weaponry, it wasn't a match for Carcharodontosaurus.
Odds: 65-35 in favor of Carchy

MemberCompsognathusOct-08-2014 4:03 PMThe only problem is that i hate that picture of carcharadontosaurus. it is to skinny, its arms re like sticks, you can see his leg bones poking out. ugh, it is skin wrapped and looks like it is really scrawny.

MemberCompsognathusOct-09-2014 1:09 PM@ carno, I like it too. The way the deltadromeus thinks he can take on an animal 7 tons bigger then himself.
