Dino Dossier

A new Dino Dossier has been revealed, this one is everyone’s favorite intelligent pack hunter, the Troodon!

8A9C05DB7B7E7A34FA2652378E6F02E396350C2A

Common Name: Troodon
Species: Troodon Magnanimus
Time: Late Cretaceous
Diet: Carnivore

Temperament: Nocturnally Aggressive


Wild:

Quite possibly the most intelligent non-human creature on the island, Troodon Magnanimus is an incredibly fast learner. It understands meaningful experiences much more quickly than other creatures (including humans), and its social nature means it also teaches its packmates, making them more clever too.

If Troodon’s cleverness didn’t make it formidable, than its tactics and biology do. It specifically pack-hunts at night when we are most vulnerable, and sees humans as its primary prey. This audacity is made especially dangerous due to its serrated fangs’ poison, which drains stamina from any creature, but outright paralyses humans.

Thankfully, Troodon is fairly small. Were it larger, it might well have become the dominant creature of its ecosystem.

Domesticated:

I thought Troodon simply could not be tamed, until I finally saw a lone survivor with one. She told me that she let “Troody” hunt a few of her tribe’s smaller creatures for sport, and it eventually started following her everywhere. It seems that while Troodon is too intelligent to fall for the rote conditioning of ‘tranq-and-feed’, it can instead gradually gain loyalty from a social approach that provides it the opportunity to hunt. Ever since, I have wondered at the benefits that a pack of ultra-smart, bred-for-battle Troodon may bring to a tribe brave enough to earn the favor of these clever carnivores.
