***Acrocanthosaurus*** was a large theropod dinosaur which lived during the Aptian and early Albian stages of the Cretaceous period. Like most dinosaur genera, *Acrocanthosaurus* contains only one species; *A. atokensis*.

*Acrocanthosaurus* was added to *The Isle* in Patch 0.1.9.2094.

## In Real Life

*Acrocanthosaurus* was around 11.5 meters in length, and weighed around 6.2 tonnes (6.8 tons). *Acrocanthosaurus* was likely the apex predator of its habitat, preying on animals such as *Tenontosaurus* and juvenile *Sauropoesidon*. *Acrocanthosaurus* arms were not very mobile, suggesting that the head was the animal's primary weapon. *Acrocanthosaurus* likely wasn't particularly fast, based on the proportions of the animal's rear legs.

## In The Isle

*Acrocanthosaurus* is the 4th strongest carnivore. It is part of the *bleeder* branch, a branch of carnivores that specialize in massive bleed damage. Whilst alone, it is ideal that you only hunt small to medium-sized prey like; Sub-Giga/Rex, Carnotaurus, Allosaurus, Maiasaura, Ceratosaurus, Diabloceratops and Suchomimus. When in a pack, however, it is not uncommon to be hunting bigger prey, such as the *Triceratops*, *Stegosaurus and* *Shantungosaurus a*nd even lonely Apexes. It should hide away from stronger predators like Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus, and Spinosaurus. Inexperienced players should avoid areas where the other(large)Apexes are.

It is currently only choosable in Sandbox mode.

## General Information

### Pros

* 3rd highest bleed damage of any carnivore.
* **Extremely** fast for its size.
* Decent bleed heal rate.
* 2nd fastest trot of any carnivore after Herrerasaurus.
* **Best turn radius** (amongst apexes)
* High hunger time
* Fast bite rate
* Quick acceleration
* Relatively high damage

### Cons

* **Slowest heal rate of any dino** (health-wise.) It takes 3 hours of sitting to heal from 4th screen to full.
* Overpowered easily by the Apex Carnivores (Tyrannosaurus Rex, Giganotosaurus & Spinosaurus) despite having a similar size.
* Low stamina capacity meaning animals much slower than it, such as Allosaurus, can escape it if it spots you
* Hard to hide due to large size
* Mediocre bleed resistance
* Long tail can get easily hit during combat
* Unorthodox camera angle makes it difficult to see in dense forests.
* Slow drinker

## Behind The Scenes

*Carcharodontosaurus* and *Giganotosaurus* was originally going to be alternate skins for the *Acrocanthosaurus.* Ultimately, however, *Giganotosaurus* instead became it's own thing, with *Carcharodontosaurus* being an alternate skin for it instead. *Acrocanthosaurus* is considered an outdated dino, due to the few recent updates.

Jake Baardse has stated that he wants the Acrocanthosaurus to have a remodel. It is due sometime far after the recode. The new design was illustrated by Fred Wierum.
