Ally

Ally is a wind-attributed Allosaurus and is a member of the D-Team.

## Character design

### Personality

Ally is quite the seductive type. She always wraps her claws around her mate, Terry, and always plays with him in a lustful way. Yet, she is still sensible, she does truly care about Terry and her comrades, and all the seductiveness is only because of her species of Allosaurus being known for their lustful behavior. She's also quite enthusiastic and always ready for action, too. She also appears to have a sisterly Chomp/Terry relationship with Lola the Stegosaurus.

## Anatomy

As an Allosaurus fragilis, Ally is around 8.5 m (28 ft) is length, and 9.7 meters (32 feet) long, with an estimated weight of 2.3 metric tons (2.5 short tons).

Several gigantic specimens have been attributed to ally's species, but may in fact belong to other genera. The closely related genus *Saurophaganax* reached perhaps 10.9 m (36 ft) in length, and its single species has sometimes been included in the genus *Allosaurus* as *Allosaurus maximus*, though recent studies support it as a separate genus. Another potential specimen of *Allosaurus*, once assigned to the genus *Epanterias*, may have measured 12.1 meters (40 feet) in length. A more recent discovery is a partial skeleton from the Peterson Quarry in Morrison rocks of New Mexico; this large allosaurid may be another individual of *Saurophaganax*.

Ally's species is generally smaller than those from most other allosaurus species, but the shapes of the bones themselves did not vary between the sites.

### Skull:

Ally's skull is modestly proportioned for a theropod of her size. with a length of 845 mm (33.3 in) for a skull belonging to an individual at 7.9 m (26 ft) long. Each premaxilla (the bones that formed the tip of the snout) held five teeth with D-shaped cross-sections, and each maxilla (the main tooth-bearing bones in the upper jaw) had between 14 and 17 teeth; the number of teeth does not exactly correspond to the size of the bone. Each dentary (the tooth-bearing bone of the lower jaw) has between 14 and 17 teeth, with an average count of 16. The teeth became shorter, narrower, and more curved toward the back of the skull. All of the teeth had saw-like edges. They are shed easily, and were replaced continually, making them common fossils. Its skull was light, robust and equipped with dozens of sharp, serrated teeth. her skull averaged 1 m (3.3 ft) long but could possibly reach 1.5 m (4.9 ft).

The skull has a pair of horns above and in front of the eyes. These horns are composed of extensions of the lacrimal bones, and vary in shape and size. There are also lower paired ridges running along the top edges of the nasal bones that led into the horns. The horns are covered in a keratin sheath and had a variety of functions, including acting as sunshades for the eyes, used for display, and being used in combat against other members of the same species (although they were fragile). There is a ridge along the back of the skull roof for muscle attachment, as is also seen in tyrannosaurids.

Inside the lacrimal bones are depressions that held glands, such as salt glands. Within the maxillae are sinuses that were better developed than those of more basal theropods such as *Ceratosaurus* and *Marshosaurus*; they have been related to the sense of smell, perhaps holding something like Jacobson's organs. The roof of the braincase is thin, perhaps to improve thermoregulation for the brain. The skull and lower jaws have joints that permitted motion within these units. In the lower jaws, the bones of the front and back halve loosely articulated, permitting the jaws to bow outward and increasing the animal's gape. The braincase and frontals may also have had a joint.

### Postcranial skeleton:

ally has nine vertebrae in the neck, 14 in the back, and five in the sacrum supporting the hips. The number of tail vertebrae is estimated about 50, to 45 or less. There are hollow spaces in the neck and anterior back vertebrae. Such spaces, which are also found in modern theropods (that is, the birds), are interpreted as having held air sacs used in respiration. The rib cage is broad, giving it a barrel chest, especially in comparison to less derived theropods like *Ceratosaurus*. *Allosaurus* has gastralia (belly ribs), but these are not common findings, and they have ossified poorly. The ilium, the main hip bone, is massive, and the pubic bone had a prominent foot that have been used for both muscle attachment and as a prop for resting the body on the ground. half of the individuals, independent of size, the pubes had not fused to each other at their foot ends. this was a sexual characteristic, with females lacking fused bones to make egg-laying easier.

ally's forelimbs were short in comparison to the hindlimbs (only about 35% the length of the hindlimbs in adults) and has three fingers per hand, tipped with large, strongly curved and pointed claws. The arms are powerful, and the forearm was somewhat shorter than the upper arm (1:1.2 ulna/humerus ratio). The wrist has a version of the semilunate carpal also found in more derived theropods like maniraptorans. Of the three fingers, the innermost (or thumb) is the largest, and diverged from the others. The phalangeal formula is 2-3-4-0-0, meaning that the innermost finger (phalange) has two bones, the next has three, and the third finger has four. The legs are not as long or suited for speed as those of tyrannosaurids, and the claws of the toes are less developed and more hoof-like than those of earlier theropods. Each foot has three weight-bearing toes and an inner dewclaw, which have been used for grasping in juveniles. There is also what is interpreted as the splint-like remnant of a fifth (outermost) metatarsal, perhaps used as a lever between the Achilles tendon and foot

## Abilities

### Mayfly:

Ally races forward at blurring speeds, disappearing and circling her opponent too fast to see, then pummels them by repeatedly ramming into them from all sides! She shares this move with her friends, Ace and Swift.
