  1. It is something I took from BBC's planet dinosaur, and as far as I know, it hasn't been proven wrong. Here is a link to the scene the cannibalism is mentioned:
  2. Happy to see Majungasaurus make a return, the stat reading is an awesome idea! I had some ideas for this creature back in the first creature vote, it's a different approach to the creature but I would still like to share them here: Scroll to the end if you want a quick guide through its abilities, but feel free to read the dossier info. Common name: Majungasaurus Species: Majungasaurus Anthropophagus Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: carnivore Temperament: Aggressively Cannibalistic Dossier content: Majungasaurus Anthropophagus, also referred to by some tribes as Majungasaurus Cannibalis, is yet another creature of which the continued existence on the island shouldn’t be possible. This distant relative of Carnotaurus houses more power than a Tyrannosaurus, is faster than a Raptor and, thanks to the skull pattern on its head, more intimidating then a Spinosaurus. This, along with the fact that it inhabits both grasslands and deserts makes it a danger you always have to be on the lookout for, even when observing the area from the back of an airborne creature since I have seen Majungasaurus preforming a high jump and grabbing any flier up to the size of an Argentavis and smashing it to the ground, stunning the animal before going in for the kill. Although powerful, Majungasaurus makes a terrible pack animal because of one dislikeable characteristic: cannibalism. How this has come to be I do not know yet. Once two Majungasaurus lock eye contact, there are only two possible outcomes: the weakest one tries to escape from the other or, what happens most of the time, they attack each other until one falls and serves the other as dinner. My advice would be the avoid Majungasaurus at all cost but if you find yourself being chased by one your best option is to find a large body of water, such as a wide river. Majungasaurus seems to fear the water creatures when they are in their element. On land however, Majungasaurus isn’t afraid of confronting a Sarco or Baryonyx. It does however avoid picking a fight with a Spinosaurus. Domesticated: There are two ways to tame a Majungasaurus, both show its cannibalistic diet. The classic tranq-and-feed method can be utilised, but I wouldn’t advice it because Majungasaurus seems to have an increased resistance to tranquilizing drugs. If you manage to knock it unconscious it will prove more effective to feed the Majungasaurus a special kind of meat dropped by it own kind than to use other types of meat. The last taming method is the riskiest but also the most straight forward. Majungasaurus’ trust can be gained by presenting it with creatures to feed from. It will gain trust faster if you provide it others of its kind to eat. As I said: there is no denying Majungasaurus’ cannibalistic behaviour. Once tamed, isn’t an easy pet to keep. Majungasaurus can be taught to live with others of its kind but I haven’t seen anyone who as succeeded to grow a pack larger than three animals. When four of them live too close to each other for too long, they become aggressive. They will attack each other until there are only three Majungasaurus left. Anyone who hopes to breed Majungasaurus will have to be careful as well. The female seems to be the strongest gender and when she doesn’t like her mate, she will most likely kill it. This makes that breeding the creature takes several tries but once the mating process has been completed, the change of the female producing multiple eggs isn’t all too small. Features: Tameable: yes rideable: yes breedable: yes Attacks: Left-click (attack 1): standard bite Right-click (attack2): the Majungasaurus jumps and can grab any flier up to the size of an Argentavis. Then is smashes it to the ground, inducing a stunned debuff to the flier. Temperament: aggressive to all creatures in the area but will prioritize aggroing to another Majungasaurus in the area above all other creatures, including being attacked by players. Diet: carnivore Special drops: “Majungasaurus meat”: works the same as “lamb chop” in recipes and when taming other creatures but functions as most effective taming food for Majungasaurus when the tranq-and-feed method is used. Special features: -Intimidating skull pattern on its head. - Avoids big bodies of water such as rivers and the ocean. - Flees from both wild and tamed Spinosaurus. - When breeding, there is a chance the female will kill the male. - Females can drop up to 3 eggs after successfully mating. - Tamed Majungasaurus can only have 2 other Majungasaurus around it in a radius of 20 meters. If this limit is surpassed, it will become aggressive to all tamed Majungasaurus in range until there are only 2 others left.
