## Basic Info

**Dossier**

**Wild:** A fairly large and powerful predator, the Allosaurus fragilis hunts smaller and weaker species in its immediate environment.

**Domesticated:** Once tamed, it can be used as a mid-level mount or combatant in hunting and war

**Known Information:** Active mostly when hunting for food or defending its nest, a reasonable plan would be to give it a respectable distance and avoid battle when possible.

**Behavior**

The Allosaurus roams its range hunting prey, attacking anything with either less Health and Melee Damage, or equal Health/Melee Damage and less Melee Damage/Health. When attacked by a survivor or other creature, it will fight back until it is defeated, killed, or knocked out.

**Prey**

This is a list of creatures the Allosaurus will attack unprovoked, though it will still kill and eat any other opponent it manages to overcome. Species higher in the list are preferentially attacked over species lower in the list. It is a WIP.

General

The Allosaurus is a large and powerful creature, and can defeat any Human survivor up to Level 9. Level 10 is the earliest it can be killed safely alone. One shouldn't attempt to tame it until they are at least Level 27.

Strategy

Attack it with a combination of weapon and Armor that is capable of defeating it. Be mindful of other predators in the area that could complicate matters.

Dangers

The Allosaurus has a respectable amount of combat power, and should not be underestimated. Human survivors should not engage it directly until Level 10, at which point they can kill it with a full set of Cloth Armor and their fists. However, Allosaurs are still capable of inflicting significant damage on survivors, and the areas they inhabit also contain several larger and deadlier creatures. They are also quite fast, able to equal a Level 49 human survivor. This can make them difficult to flee from.

Weakness

The Allosaurus' type is a mid-level type in the game, and most of its prey are much smaller than it. Thus, multiple different creatures approaching it in size could be used to fight it successfully. In addition, attacking it with a flyer from above and behind can allow one to hit it without being hit themselves, potentially allowing one to defeat or kill one with a creature that would normally be too weak to fight it.

**Utility**

Hunter- Like all large carnivorous creatures, the Allosaurus can be used to hunt prey, as long as one is mindful of the strength of the creatures. This is an easy way to keep the dinosaur fed while also gaining additional benefits such as XP and resources.

War- The Allosaurus can be used as a mount in PVP, able to hold 4 different Human survivors on its back at once, and also can be used as a subordinate or assist species in battles involving larger and stronger species. A large pack could potentially hold down even much larger creatures, though MUTOs must be avoided due to their EMP attack.

Pack Mule- While it has a limit, the Allosaurus can hold up to 357 Metal without becoming encumbered, making it a possible option for transporting resources

Travel- Its high health limits the amount of creatures that will attack it unprovoked, especially outside of its native range. Most creatures that will attack it are also easy to spot from a distance, making it easy to avoid and making the Allosaurus a viable option for traveling long distances.

Base Defense- The Allosaurus decent combative power makes it a good option for defending bases from attack, as long as the opponent doesn't have creatures of much greater strength.

**Notes**

The species of Allosaurus in the game is A. fragilis, which is the real-world type species of Allosaurus

Despite its Temperament being Aggressive, it does not attack any survivor species larger than 25 inches except for Vivochickens, Healers, Archers, and Barbarians.

It drops Tyrannosaurus Arm despite being only distantly related to Tyrannosaurus. This is due to being a member of the Rex-type.

While a level 1 Allosaurus can withstand 1 second of fire from an Assault Rifle, a max (level 450) Allosaurus with a saddle can withstand 53 hits from Fighter Jet Missiles.

There are a maximum of 38 Allosaurus on the map at any one time, 10 in the Eastern Plains, 10 on Dead Island, 1 in the Southern Islets, 5 on Grand Peak, 3 in Deep Island, 8 in The Maw (with two sub-populations of 3 in the Eastern Wetlands and 5 on the Western Coastal), and 1 in Smuggler's Pass. If any are tamed, new ones will not spawn until a tamed one dies.
