Daspletosaurus

"Daspletosaurus torosus"

***Daspletosaurus*** is a medium-sized tyrannosaurid carnivore found in Path of Titans. It is a terrestrial hunter that takes on a mainly offensive playstyle, crippling the movement of its targets before proceeding to inflict high damage.

## Description

*Daspletosaurus* is a large-sized carnivore with a powerful jaw. It has long, powerful legs to make up for its small and weak arms. *Daspletosaurus* is considered surprisingly fast for its size as its trotting speed can outpace many playables in Path of Titans.

*Daspletosaurus* shared the same body form as other tyrannosaurids, with a short, S-shaped neck supporting the massive skull. It walked on its two thick hindlimbs, which ended in four-toed feet, although the first digit (the hallux) did not contact the ground. In contrast, the forelimbs were extremely small and bore only two digits, although *Daspletosaurus* had the longest forelimbs in proportion to body size of any tyrannosaurid. A long, heavy tail served as a counterweight to the head and torso, with the center of gravity over the hips.

## Paleo Info

*Daspletosaurus* is a genus of tyrannosaurid dinosaur that lived in western North America between about 77 and 74 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous Period. The genus *Daspletosaurus* contains two species. Fossils of the earlier type species, *D. torosus*, have been found in Alberta, while fossils of the later second species, *D. horneri*, have been found only in Montana. *Daspletosaurus* is closely related to the much larger and more recent tyrannosaurid *Tyrannosaurus rex*. Like most tyrannosaurids, *Daspletosaurus* was a multi-ton bipedal predator equipped with dozens of large, sharp teeth. *Daspletosaurus* had the small forelimbs typical of tyrannosaurids, although they were proportionately longer than in other genera.

## Trivia

* *Daspletosaurus* received small model edits to improve its paleontological accuracy.
* *Daspletosaurus* was the first dinosaur in Path of Titans to have multiple ability slots for one body part i.e. the Head slot.
* Due to its strong jaw, *Daspletosaurus* is able to pick up large meat pieces when other similar sized dinosaurs cannot.

## Gameplay Tips

* *Daspletosaurus* is well suited for different hunting techniques, depending on which abilities it chooses. The most common choice is a pursuit build that focuses on high speed and decent stamina to rush down prey. A fast trot speed and good stamina regen allows it to keep chase. When in a pack, one member may use the "Bone Snap" ability to hinder a target's movement while the other members apply damage. The charged "Heavy Bite" and "Tyrant Roar" abilities work amazingly when combined with Bone Snap.
* Daspletosaurus synergize well when packed with a much stronger but slower carnivore. A Daspletosaurus' Bone Snap bite allows allies to catch up to prey that would have otherwise been faster.
* Daspletosaurus' high damage makes it a greater threat to many dinosaurs even larger than than themselves. Their damage allows them to effectively brawl with Allosaurus and Suchomimus very well, while also being a notable threat to large animals like Tyrannosaurus as a result of their heavy bite doing immense damage - but keep in mind, this doesn't always succeed.
* Traction may be the Daspletosaurus' worst ability. It doesn't provide enough to be useful, and thus Balanced Tail may be a more effective tool - yet even then, you don't exactly need the better turn radius with your already good turning speed.
