Presenting the cold skinned theropod, Cryolophosaurus!

[DracoSerpentor77]

Since the announcement of the snow biome, I thougt that the only creatures in the snow biome were going to be mammals...Until I remembered cryolophosaurus. Cryolophosaurus was discovered in Antarctica and its name means "Cold crested lizard" He works perfectly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Common name: Cryo
Scientific name: Cryolophosaurus frigidus
Time:Early Jurassic
Diet: Carnivore
Temperment:Aggressively social

Wild: Sharing the same size and speed as the Carnotaurus, Cryolophosaurus frigidus is a unique dinosaur that lives in groups of 2-3, usually with a male and a female within the group. Unlike other pack animals, they do not follow an alpha, rather they have a powerful bond between male and female when in pairs. They live in the more colder regions of the island where its distinct coloring helps it blend in to the snowy climate. What is most intriguing is its core temperature. Cryolophosaurus seems to have a significantly lower body temperature than most creatures on the island. This seems to come from its distinct crest it uses for headbutting those who provoke it.

Domesticated: Because of the creature's cold temperature I have seen many tribes using it as a portable fridge, preserving meat and vegetables. Interestingly, Tamed Cryos prefer spoiled meat which is rather convenient. Some polar tribes even ride on Cryos through the cold tundra. Apparently the creature's cold body seems to alter based upon the outside temperature.
Increasing its core temperature in colder climates, and decreasing it in warmer climates, allowing their rider to stay cold when in desert climates. 

Known Information: Survivors of the Cryo's headbutt have reported being extremely cold for an extensive amount of time, this could possibly mean Cryos use the intense cold of its headbutts to help weaken their prey of both hunger and stamina in order to close in for the kill
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cryo's main purpose is to be used as a preserver, working much like a fridge. The core temperature will stay the same regardless of where it is, allowing the rider to stay cold in warmer areas, but in colder areas like the snow biomes the only cold they recieve is from the environment.

Cryo's headbutt is meant to put the target into a "Frostbite state" For humans this is easily represented as the ice cube picture when going to very cold places, causing humans to lose meat faster and health(Or stamina depending if a nerf should be done) quickly. For dinos however, it forces them to lose stamina and hunger.

It should also be said that Cryo's use up very little food, but have lose stamina very quickly. Because of this knocking one out is fairly easy, but taming happens to be very difficult.
While the dossier states tamed Cryo's like spoiled meat, it means that tamed Cryo's will eat spoiled meat before eating raw meat. And when it states Cryo's share a similar size and speed to Carnotaurus, it also is much weaker in terms of strength and defense, but makes up for it in attack speed and knockback strength.
It should also be known that, when in pairs with a male and a female, Cryos gain a much stronger mate boost than other creatures on the island, however this is only if Cryos are in pairs, if it is a team, say three or more, than the Cryos will have the same mate boosted quality as other dinos.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated
