## Extra Info

### Species

holy crap there is no way i'm listing all the theropod species in witheria

theropods are a vast species of dinosaur in witheria

## history

in witheria, the earliest relative of the theropods called esserafringosaurus(meaning warm fringe lizard) lived during the triassic period of witheria. this dinosaur was classified as a tyrannosaur. the theropods would survive the extinction of alot of witherias time periods, this is why the theropods exist in witheria.

## theropod subtypes/theropod genuses

certain theropods are in a certain classifacation

### allosaurs

allosaurs are indentified by a large crest and a typical theropod like build. most such as allosaurus fragilis hunt large prey such as brachiosaurus insteri and stegosaurus lencosis. ostafrikosaurus maximus is amphibious and mostly hunts aquatic prey such as fish and piyaras. the largest allosaur is tannesaurus lancesis.

### carcharadontosaurs

carcharadontosaurs have shark like teeth used to rip into flesh and cause prey to bleed to death. similar to allosaurs and certain dromeosaurs, carcharadontosaurs tend to hunt prey larger than themselves. acrocanthosaurus atokensis hunts highly defensive herbivores and matarids. giganotosaurus gigas and carcharadontosaurus yukina hunt large sauropods. the largest carcharadontosaur in witheria is giganotosaurus gigas.

### dromeosaurs/raptors

dromeosaurs are the smallest of the theropods. most raptors have feathers and wing like arms. some dromeosaurs aren't very small however. achibillotator plandoris is the apex predator of plandora, only being surpassed in achibillo free areas by plantera sagensis(a big snake). insomnioraptor scorvonus is highly agressive and is the fastest raptor and strongest raptor. utahraptor ommystorom stalks the wasteland for arbonixias and dust robbers. the largest dromeosaur is achibillotator plandoris, some similar sized ones include insomnioraptor and utahraptor

### megaraptorids

megaraptorids are basically dromeosaurs on steroids. these theropods are more obscure but still known. the group was named for a spinosaur originally placed in this genus. only 3 species are in this genus. the largest of which is deinocheirus lio.

### spinosaurs

spinosaurs are the largest theropods in witheria. these theropods mostly feast on aquatic prey, though they will go after terristrial prey aswell. the largest spinosaur is spinosaurus agyeptiacus. spinosaurus yukina and ageyptiacus, silligmasaurus hydrophis and some others have a sail. silligmasaurus is the only spinosaur with wings

### therizenosaurs

therizenosaurs are the only herbivorus theropods. the only exception is the largest member therizenosaurus serpentene which scavenges.

### tyrannosaurs

these theropods are the most obscure in witheria. the largest member is tyrannosaurus rex

## trivia

* achibillotator is actually achillobator spelled wrong
* matarids, arctic assassins, permafrost predators, tetheracts and their relatives, wyverns and kite-wings resemble theropods but are place in their own genus
* deltadromeus euphorius was originally its own species untill the lastest update classified it as a megaraptorid but this was later changed to a carcharadontosaur
