Parasaurolophus

The Parasaurolophus

***Parasaurolophus*** is a genus of Ornithopod dinosaur that appears in Season 1 of Dinosaurs Battle World Championship.

## In DBWC

In DBWC, *Parasaurolophus* is depicted with a white coloring. It's back is mostly purple. It has large legs and feet and a distinct crest on its head. It's front limbs, or arms, are rather short. *Parasaurolophus* killed the *Anchiceratops* but was later defeated by the *Ankylosaurus* in round 2.

## In the Real World

*Parasaurolophus* was a hadrosaur (not to be confused with Hadrosaurus) Ornithopod that lived 75 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous. It is without a doubt the most iconic of the "duck-billed" dinosaurs, the name given to hadrosaurs due to their duck-like beaks. Like other hadrosaurs it was bipedal as well as a quadruped. Most of the time is moved on all four let's, but could raise up onto two legs when it needed to move fast, perhaps to escape from predators like *Albertosaurus*. The most recognizable feature of the Parasaur is its large crest. Curved and horn-shaped, it was perhaps used for display or to make loud calls for communication. *Parasaurolophus* was discovered in 1920 by a field party in Alberta, Canada, and was later named in 1922. The domain of *Parasaurolophus* stretched over all of Laramidia, the continent which is now western North America. It lived alongside primitive tyrannosaurs, other hadrosaurs, ankylosaurs, and ceratopsians.

## Fighting Tactics

The *Parasaurolophus* is a fearsome fighter. Despite not bearing powerful weapons like jaws or spikes, it manages to use other tactics to battle opponents. Like other hadrosaurs, it can perform amazing ninja-like acrobatics. It can use its large legs to deliver stunning kicks to enemies. It also makes use if surrounding natural items, such as dirt and branches. A favourite tactic it like is to use it tail to spin around and send up dust clouds to confuse enemies. It then dives in with a sharp stick to make the final blow. In Parasaurolophus vs Anchiceratops, it was seen using a stick to impale and kill the *Anchiceratops*. In its final match, it tried using the same tactic on *Ankylosaurus* but failed. Perhaps if its second match wasn't against such a powerful dinosaur like *Ankylosaurus*, Parasaur would've made it farther into the tournament. Who knows?
