Predator (type)

**Predator** (single) or **Predators** (plural) is a term used by the characters in *The Amazing Dinosaur Adventure movies* and TV series. It refers to Carnivorous Creatures, primarily theropods; most prominently *Tyrannosaurus*. Many different theropod species have appeared throughout the franchise, many ranging in various shapes and sizes. Since The Amazing Dinosaur Adventure IV, deriative of Predator has expanded to multiple species than just theropods, but the most common is the *Tyrannosaurus*. Most antagonists in the franchise are Predators, and at least 1 had appeared in every film.

Smaller Predators, such as *Deinonychus*, *Achillobator*, and *Utahraptor* are called Raptors due to their agility, speed, and small size. Larger Predators, such as *Suchomimus*, *Tyrannosaurus*, and *Allosaurus*, do not usually have terms specific to certain breeds, being simply referred to as Predator by the characters. Some fans, however, have created conjectural terms for specific Predator breeds, derived from physical traits or the locations in which they appear.

## Predators throughout the series

### Joseph

*Main article*: *Joseph*

Joseph is a young male *Tyrannosaurus*, who became friends with the 6 children in *The Amazing Dinosaur Adventure 5 The Mysterious Island*. He reappeared in and *The Amazing Dinosaur Adventure 14 Journey of the Brave* and *The Amazing Dinosaur Adventure 15 The Great Mountain Adventure* and as a main character in the television series. Joseph is friendly to herbivores, and therefore he was accepted into the valley after being pursued by Michael and his 2 Raptors (see below).

Joseph is, at least so far, most notable for being the only known Predator in The Amazing Dinosaur Adventure universe to be friendly to herbivores.

### Joseph's Parents

*Main article*: *Joseph's Mother and Joseph's Father*

A pair of adult *Tyrannosaurus*; next to Predator himself and the infant Predator Joseph, Joseph's parents are the most prominent Predator in the series. They appear in the films in which their son is featured (except Journey of the Brave). Joseph's parents are never given names. For reasons unknown, they never appeared to show any affection towards each other, aside from the fifth Movie, where it seems that Joseph's father was checking up on his wife after throwing a Plated Predator off the cliff for wounding his wife. However, they have generally only been shown in times of conflict with herbivores or other Predators, and much of their private life is unknown. Joseph's father in the 2nd film bears a striking resemblance, and Joseph's mother bears a striking resemblance to the original Predator from the 1st film and the 5th film, though Joseph's father is a lighter shade of Green and is not as large. Mama and Papa do not pose a threat to the 6 children anymore, since Luke saved Joseph from the Plated Predator when they fell into the ocean.

### Michael, Amanda and Jeff

*Main Articles*: *Amanda and Jeff and Michael*

These are the latest recurring Predators and are the 1st Predators since Joseph to have been assigned names. They have appeared only in the TV series. Michael, a huge male *Zhuchengtyrannus*, is said to be the meanest Predator of all. He is identified by the long red scar extending from his left eye down to the side of his body and arm to his claw. Amanda and Jeff are Raptors *(Achillobator),* and are Michael's 2 cronies. They did not appear in *The Amazing Dinosaur Adventure 14 Journey of the Brave*, so it is unknown if they will appear in a future film.

### Anonymous Predators

Many Predators appear throughout the series, though they are portrayed more as random wandering predators than proper characters, none of them possessing the single minded ferocity and seeming invincibility of the original (with the exception of Plates*,* and perhaps the Longsnout Predator).

Although they are often perceived as mindless killers, being called "cowards" and "not very bright" by Dallas and Luke's father respectively, *The Amazing Dinosaur Adventure 2 The Great Valley Adventure* revealed that Predators are indeed sentient like the rest of the dinosaurs and that they even form loving families. Joseph, however, does acknowledge the difficulty of friendship between herbivores and carnivores due to their differences, especially in diet. Furthermore, in *The Amazing Dinosaur Adventure 5 The Mysterious Island*, Predators are shown to be just as intelligent and sensitive as other dinosaurs but simply speak a different language consisting of roars and growls.
