***Acrocanthosaurus*** is a genus of theropod dinosaur that existed in what is now North America during the Aptian and early Albian stages of the Early Cretaceous. Like most dinosaur genera, *Acrocanthosaurus* contains only a single species, *A. atokensis*. Its fossil remains are found mainly in the U.S. states of Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona and Wyoming, although teeth attributed to *Acrocanthosaurus* have been found as far east as Maryland. *Acrocanthosaurus* was a bipedal predator. As the name suggests, it is best known for the high neural spines on many of its vertebrae, which most likely supported a ridge of muscle over the animal's neck, back, and hips. *Acrocanthosaurus* was one of the largest theropods, reaching 11.5 meters (38 ft) in length, and weighing up to 5.8 metric tons (6.3short tons). Large theropod footprints discovered in Texas may have been made by *Acrocanthosaurus*, although there is no direct association with skeletal remains. Recent discoveries have elucidated many details of its anatomy, allowing for specialized studies focusing on its brain structure and forelimb function. *Acrocanthosaurus* was the largest theropod in its ecosystem and likely an apex predator which preyed on sauropods, ornithopods, and ankylosaurs. It is the sevent largest therapod in the world . It was lighter than a therapod of it's size should have wieght about 5.8 tons

## Appearance

### In Mesozoic World

Acrocanthosaurus is a genus of carcharodontosaurid that is lived in what is now North America during the Aptian and Early Albian stages of the Early Cretaceous Period, from 113 to 110 MYA. Like most dinosaur genera, Acrocanthosaurus contains only a single species A. Atokensis. It has a speed of 25 MPH (40 KPH) and had a mass of 9,700 - 15,000 lbs making it 1 of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs.

### In DBWC

The Acro in DBWC has a Dark purple body with blue stripes pinkish-down jaw, a purple face with blue stripes and spikes on the back of the head and on the tail

## Fight with Edmontonia

The match begins as both the dinosaurs enter the arena and roar. They stare at each other for a while. Acrocanthosaurus roars and chases the Edmontonia. The nodosaur quickly changes direction and tries to attack the carcharodontosaurid but Acro dodges. Both the dinosaurs roar and charge. The carcharodontosaurid dodges Edmontonia's spikes and the nodosaur tries to attack the carchardontosaurid but he dodges. Edmontonia again tries to attack but he misses. Edmon tries to hit him continuously and acrocanthosaurus dodges continuously. Acrocanthosaurus tries to kill Edmontonia but he dodges and instead hits the carnivore with his spikes and again with his tail. Both jump on the wall and carcharodontosaurid bites and throws Edmontonia. The same thing happens again. Acrocanthosaurus then kicks the Edmontonia and attacks him. However, Edmontonia hits Acrocanthosaurus with its tail. They both clash their tails. Edmontonia gets stuck into the wall. Acrocanthosaurus kills Edmontonia with his own spiky tail. Acrocanthosaurus roars in victory.

## Trivia

* This is the second Carcharodontosaurid to be in DBWC with the first being the larger carnivore, Giganotosaurus.
* The Acrocanthosaurus model is a modified model of the Dino Master Enigma Torvosaurus.
