Parasaurolophus

The Parasaurolophus is a species of hadrosaur that first lived during the cretaceous period but was rediscovered in the Mesozoic Island. While the parasaurolophus is usually seen as just another dinosaur it does have a unique variant called Parasaurolophus Lux that has bioluminescence in its scales from living in caves as well as possibly in the Hollow Lands. both travel in herds and use those weird head extentions to let out louder roars to communicate. The parasaurolophus are considered tameable because Homo Arcanus are known to ride them from place to place and in return feed them leaves. as a Tanker class creature(Sublass: Supporter), Both stand a height of just 4.3 meters tall and 9.5 meters long. during wars they will travel in interrupting herds and ram into enemy targets and vehicles tearing them to shreds.

## Biology

Like most dinosaurs, the skeleton of *Parasaurolophus* is incompletely known. The length of the type specimen of *P. walkeri* is estimated at 9.5 m (31 ft), and its weight is estimated at 2.5 tonnes (2.8 short tons). Its skull is about 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) long, including the crest, whereas the type skull of *P. tubicen* is over 2 m (6 ft 7 in) long, indicating a larger animal. Its single known forelimb was relatively short for a hadrosaurid, with a short but wide shoulder blade. The thighbone measures 103 cm (41 in) long in *P. walkeri* and is robust for its length when compared to other hadrosaurids. The upper arm and pelvic bones were also heavily built.

Like other hadrosaurids, it was able to walk on either two legs or four. It probably preferred to forage for food on four legs, but ran on two. The neural spines of the vertebrae were tall, as was common in lambeosaurines; tallest over the hips, they increased the height of the back. Skin impressions are known for *P. walkeri*, showing uniform tubercle-like scales but no larger structures.

The most noticeable feature was the cranial crest, which protruded from the rear of the head and was made up of the premaxilla and nasal bones. The crest was hollow, with distinct tubes leading from each nostril to the end of the crest before reversing direction and heading back down the crest and into the skull. The tubes were simplest in *P. walkeri*, and more complex in *P. tubicen*, where some tubes were blind and others met and separated. While *P. walkeri* and *P. tubicen* had long crests with only slight curvature, *P. cyrtocristatus* had a short crest with a more circular profile. For its lux variant its likely it ate a bunch of Glow Moss for a time as they are found in caves too which may have a similar effect as shrimp do to flamingos.

## Discovery

Discovered in 3095, the group of hadrosaurids were seen drinking at a watering hole by picnickers but the Lux variant was discovered by Professor Tsuki after she entered one of the water caves and found one somewhat submerged in the water which glowed in the dark.

## Trivia

Parasaurolophus Lux are as bright as a car's headlights.
