## *Carnotaurus (EVRIMA)*

Carnotaurus sastrei

***Carnotaurus*** is a medium size carnotaurine abelisaur from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina. The genus contains one species, *C. sastrei*.

In The Isle, the Carnotaurus is a charging menace, capable of running at blistering speeds to ram down prey with its crushing bulk. If you're caught in the open by a Carnotaurus, there may be nowhere to hide from this giant hunter.

*Carnotaurus* was added to *The Isle* on the game's release along with Puertasaurus, Austroraptor, Gallimimus Tyrannosaurus Rex and Shantungosaurus and was re-added to the game on EVRIMA Patch 0.6.15.18 along with the *Stegosaurus* and *Hypsilophodon*

## In Real Life

*Carnotaurus* lived during the lower Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous, and inhabited what is now Argentina between 72 to 69.9 million years ago.

*Carnotaurus* is notable for being the fastest known non-avian dinosaur, being capable of reaching speeds of up to 56 km/h (34.8 mph) in real life. This is due to a massively enlarged caudofemoralis muscle, which allowed the leg to be pulled back faster and, in turn, granted greater speed. This also meant that the *Carnotaurus* had to turn the hip and tail simultaneously in order to make turns, although turning was probably unnecessary as the *Carnotaurus* likely ambushed its prey in a straight sprint. Despite these powerful leg and hip muscles, its arms were incredibly small, and probably became vestigial due to lack of purpose.

## In The Isle

*"Stalk the plains as the terrifying Carnotaurus, the absolute nightmare of every small critter as this ravenous mouth-on-legs blitzes across the island. Whilst it lacks maneuverability of the nimble Utahraptor/Omniraptor, its insane speed and ability to knock others down more than makes up for it. Be sure to look left and right before crossing the street!"* -Official The Isle Roadmap

*Carnotaurus* is the fastest dinosaur in the game, running at speeds of up to 52 km/h (32 mph) with decent stamina. However, its immense speed is held back by its very poor turn radius while running. Nonetheless, their great speed allows them to ambush and catch quick & nimble creatures such as the Dryosaurus and Utahraptor/Omniraptor. In Evrima, the Carnotaurus can stun. A well-aimed charge attack should stun medium-sized prey for roughly 2-3 seconds.

Additionally, the great speed of the *Carnotaurus* grants them few natural predators; it can quickly outrun anything that poses a threat. However, an adult Deinosuchus can grab and drown a fully grown *Carnotaurus*.

The Carnotaurus' preffered diet consists of Pachycephalosaurus and Tenontosaurus for carbohydrates, Utahraptor/Omniraptor and Troodon and Dryosaurus and Deer for lipids. Utahraptor/Omniraptor, Pachycephalosaurus, Tenontosaurus, and Dryosaurus can be found in nearly every land biome, particularly the plains and arid regions, with Tentontosaurus also choosing to live near swamps and rivers.

### Pros:

* **Fastest creature in the game (Survival)**
* Can stun medium-sized creatures with a charge attack
* Decent stamina
* Relatively strong bite for its size
* Good bleed resistance and fairly good bleed heal
* One of the few creatures with acceleration (Legacy)

### Cons:

* Is easily killed by larger creatures (especially the Stegosaurus)
* Has great difficulty turning while running
* Loud - its footsteps can be heard before it is seen
* Abysmal stamina regeneration
* Being a creature with acceleration (Legacy), It will most likely be killed if a larger predator is around

## Behind the Scenes

The first model used for Carnotaurus was purchased by Dondi from “The Stomping Lands”. Interestingly, when it was implemented into The Isle, its running animation did not change.
